    Really?

    Got a link to that "record"? I ask because (apparently) Snopes couldn't find any.

    I took Old School at his word.  He doesn't make things up.  I appreciate your looking.   I'll tell you that I am going to try and find this.  It really is delicious, isn't it?  LOL

    Apparently Vanity Fair quoted him years ago?  I'll sure try and find it.   Hang in there.

    I see what you mean, Salt.  I am having a long time too.   But I do have Old School to ask.  I will as soon as I can reach him and he is not busy.  I will get back to you on this one.  I won't forget.    But meanwhile I am still getting a tad off the subject and you don't care, because it is the other side of your argument, but this is interesting proof that he has WHITES in mind at all times when he does any racist move.

    Exclusive: Stephen Bannon, Trump’s New C.E.O., Hints at His Master Plan
    Can the man behind Breitbart—a Harvard M.B.A. who worked at Goldman Sachs and made a killing off of Seinfeld—save Trump? And at what cost?

    Even for a campaign creating regular media tremors, the hiring of Stephen K. Bannon as the new campaign C.E.O. for Donald Trump has to count as a real shock. Trump is a first-time candidate who has talked about professionalizing his campaign, and yet he has hired a media bomb-thrower with no experience on the trail. But on another level, it is no surprise, since for years there has been a political symbiosis between Trump, Bannon, and Breitbart Media, the news organization that Bannon has led for the last four years. In truth, Bannon and Breitbart Media were Trump before Trump, creating the political philosophy and the political army in waiting that has been the engine for the candidate’s astonishing rise in American politics.

    To understand the relationship between Trump and Bannon, you need to start with Andrew Breitbart himself. Over a short, fireworks-laced career, Breitbart helped re-write the rules of political discourse in the U.S. Starting in 2007, after a stint at the Drudge Report, he launched a series of Web sites—Big Hollywood, Big Government, and Big Journalism, all under the Breitbart.com umbrella—to challenge the narratives set forth by so-called “liberal media” institutions. His sites, really a decentralized blogger network, were threaded together by furious denunciations of government, politicians, journalists, and Democrats, and they were fueled not by traditional norms of journalism, but largely by anger. It was a potent audience that might, in particular hands, serve as a potent electorate.

    Indeed, Breitbart has given voice to millions of mostly working-class white voters who are anguished over the loss of status, the loss of certainty, and the diminishment of a long-cherished way of life—and who tend to blame Congress, the mainstream media, big business, and the Republican establishment for these misgivings. As The New Yorker graphically described it, Breitbart and his fellow bloggers and aggregators were not content providers, but “malcontent” providers—“giving seething, sneering voice to what he characterizes as a silenced majority.” Breitbart himself would not have disagreed. “I like to call someone a raving cunt every now and then,” he told the magazine, “when it’s appropriate, for effect.”

    Jane just posted Salt.  Please read the article because you cannot believe what it unearthed.

    Please don't try the fake news bit on me.   But please read this article posted by Jane below.

    Here's only ONE quote about him and blacks.  Another?  He has verified statements from many employees that ordered all blacks to be removed from the casino floors when Trump arrived. 

    He is our President.

    “I think the guy is lazy,” Trump said of a black employee, according to O’Donnell. “And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

    This may be what you are looking for. I cannot vouch for its veracity.

    Oh yes, Jane.  This is quoted and has veracity.  


    Thank you for saving me perhaps hours.   Amazing.  The entire article.  I could tell Salt and Pepper to read it and what he will digest and return to me will be that it is FAKE NEWS.   That's what Trump would do.

    “I think the guy is lazy,” Trump said of a black employee, according to O’Donnell. “And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

    The Huffington Post! Really? Maybe something from Grimm's would be more factual.

    I looked over their list and it's all BS, all allegations and half-truths, at best. (Trump's casinos were Trump's in the same way that Capital One Arena in DC belongs to, and is controlled by Capital One Bank. (It was the Verizon Center up until about a week ago when the branding rights, and only the branding rights were transfered). 

    And not a single mention of Trump being on record saying that blacks are lazy and they cannot help it.
