PAST POSTSHillary Clinton has made clear that Donald Trump of fanning the flames of racism and division. We all know and she has spoken out loudly that Trump was the originator of the so-called Birther movement against the President and a frequent re-tweeter in agreement with white supremacists. To watch her speech from Nevada on August 25, click here.
Earlier in the campaign cycle, decent people were shocked and horrified, when Donald Trump first claimed not to know who David Duke was, or what white supremacists were, and took days to disavow Duke's endorsement. Since then Trump, who has engaged in a steady stream of racial and ethnic hatred, including attacks on a Federal judge and on a whole religion, has also embraced white supremacist messages and imagery. When he borrowed an image of Hillary Clinton with a Star of David and bundles of dollars from an anti-semitic group for his Tweeting , Trump again stunned decent people.
There has also been a spotlight on Trump organization racial discrimination in property rentals from the 1960's and 1970's -"No Vacancies for Blacks" New York Times, August 28, 2016.
This is also in line with reports that Trump's father was charged with marching with the KKK in 1927.
Since this seemed important --the candidate has repeatedly said that his father is his hero, Voices4Hillary began its own investigation into this subject--who is Fred Trump? what were the values he instilled in his son?
Fortunately, we didn't have to pursue this subject alone. Vice, the respected Canadian-American broadcast organization, had tracked down the charges, and much, if not all, available information about the GOP nominee's father and the KKK, including noting the nominee's response to his father's positions.
Voices4Hillary is always pleased to honor first rate journalism. So here is Vice on Fred Trump and the KKK.
