    No, I'm arguing that the award had nothing to do with issues of race relations, like BtC was suggesting when he posted it.

      As I recall it was entered as evidence that Trump isn't a racist - and it is fairly strong evidence that he wasn't at that time.

        I understand that's what you're saying, Tea, but what I'm saying is that's not what the award was about, so you're wrong.

            Yes it did. They gave the Ellis Island award to Trump for his commitment to developing New York City, including its minority areas.

            • The Wall Street Journal reported that, in 1996, “Trump filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Palm Beach, alleging that the town was discriminating against Mar-a-Lago, in part because it is open to Jews and African Americans.”

                Give it a break, BtC. Trump is known for his frivolous lawsuits, and this one had nothing to do with discrimination. It had to do with local rules that pertained to other private clubs in Palm Beach County as well, rules that Trump didn't happen to like, so he sued. Just like your other post about NECO, this had nothing to do with Trumps love of African Americans or Jews. You're trying too hard, Bill.

                  The fact remains that Trump didn't discriminate and the other 2 clubs did.

                  You're the one trying to paint him as a racist when his entire life up until 2015 was filled with instances where minorities adored him. And I posted video to prove it.

                    That was before Putin abducted him and sent him to advanced reprogramming school.

                      Well, yeah, but that was before he called himself a Republican and ran against Hillary, so things are totally different now.

                        You mean filled his pockets with laundered millions. But who reprogrammed you and yours to hate your country and democracy in favor of Plutocratic Authoritarianism?

                          I'm surprised you even need to ask...Putin, obviously.

                            Only a complete and total ass would viciously impugn the patriotism of one who actually served. You seem to manage to sink to a new level every day.
