The following article was originally published on December 15, 2015, and none of the major cable, network or print news outlets have grilled the Republican presidential nominee about this case and/or series of events, even during the GOP debates. "From The G-Man" would like to know why Trump has been given a pass by the American mainstream media, especially when the nominee is now attempting to gain the support of Black voters all across the country.

DOJ: Trump's Early Businesses Blocked Blacks
By Gideon Resnick
A 1973 suit against Trump and the Trump Organization claimed that
superintendents at Trump properties would mark African-American
applications with a ‘C’ for ‘Colored’ and other racial codes.
When an African-American showed up to rent an apartment owned by a
young real-estate scion named Donald Trump and his family, the building
superintendent did what he claimed he’d been told to do. He allegedly
attached a separate sheet of paper to the application, marked with the
letter “C.”
“C” for “Colored.”
According to the Department of Justice, that was the crude code that ensured the rental would be denied.
Details of this secret system, as well as other practices that the Trump
organization allegedly used to exclude black residents from its
buildings in Brooklyn, Queens, and Norfolk, Virginia in the 1970s, were
recorded in a lawsuit brought by the DOJ against Trump and his father,
Fred, in 1973 for alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act.
