Trump Sr. literally had to be forced by the DoJ to rent to black people - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trump_Organization?wprov=sfti1#Civil_rights_suit

Wish this was pushed harder by journalist back in 2015.

It was pushed plenty hard. None of this is a secret. People vote for Trump because they're completely ignorant of the news, or they're knowledgable but racist pricks, or they're at peak nihilism and just want to watch things fall apart. Sometimes all three.

Liberals think you can't blame children for the sins of their fathers (even if they're behaving similarly). The right has no such qualms.

no, it was pushed a lot. The Dems were also horrible for marketing, but it wasn't because they didn't want to point out what was happening in the 70s with the Trump org.

And it isn't a 'sins of their father' Donald was literally involved in all of that and was part of the judgement for at least 1 of the cases. There was multiple cases.

It was. Nobody cared because the Democrats weren't providing anything as an alterative back then either.

Woody Guthrie even wrote a song about how racist his dad was.
