Dude who marked apartment applications with "C" for "COLORED" says Civil Rights movement treated white people badly

‘No Vacancies’ for Blacks: How Donald Trump Got His Start, and Was First Accused of Bias

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/us/politics/donald-trump-housing-race.html


Trump said civil rights-era protections have “hurt” white Americans in a recent interview with the New York Times, highlighting the mentality behind his administration’s anti-DEI policies.

“A lot of people were very badly treated,” Trump said when asked whether policies stemming from the Civil Rights Act had led to discrimination against white men.

“White people were very badly treated, where they did extremely well and they were not invited to go into a university to college,” Trump said, referencing affirmative action in college admissions, which called “unfair in certain cases.”

While Trump said that the act “accomplished some very wonderful things,” he also claimed its effect resulted in “reverse discrimination.”

are in charge at every level? What white men want back is the 1920s, and we're not going back. Okay, so not all white men, but far too many.
