Fred Trump was so racist, Woody Guthrie sang about it way back in 1950. Did you know?

Guthrie lived in Beach Haven, a Trump-owned apartment building in Brooklyn.

I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
he stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his
Eighteen hundred family project

Beach Haven ain’t my home!
I just cain’t pay this rent!
My money’s down the drain!
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven looks like heaven
Where no black ones come to roam!
No, no, no! Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain’t my home!

    I know he was a racist pig and raised a racist spawn.

    I didn't know Woodie knew a thing about it.  

    THANK YOU STU B.

    Most families of enormous wealth have a dark and sometimes scandalous, even monstrous past. Donald Trump's clan is no exception to that rule. His grandfather was a pimp and a tax evader, his father a racist who would in the course of his life, clash with New York City Police as a member of the Ku Klux Klan and then as a wealthy real estate magnate, refuse to rent to people of color.

    Donald Trump's legacy is anything but a rag to riches story. His dad kicked the bucket with $250-$300 million in the bank. The man who wants to ban all people of a particular religion from travel wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his was white gold. The only thing more obnoxious than Donald Trump himself, is his family's money-grubbing, bigoted history.

    I did but I only found out recently from... John Oliver I think? I can't remember now, it could've been some other talk show. But yeah, gave me a good laugh AND made me depressed.
