Opinion: Trump’s uncomfortable American legacy

The problem with U.S. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s extreme proposal to temporarily limit the entry of Muslims into the United States is not that it reflects an aberrant, occasional fringe position that threatens one minority group. It reveals a much more uncomfortable fact: Trump’s comments are part of a long tradition of the white Christian majority’s isolating, mistreating and making scapegoats of groups that are perceived as encroaching on and threatening its hegemonic privileges.

4. I meant what he did with that money. People who lived thru it tell a horror story

about him buying apartment buildings and using muscle to force old people out of their homes so he could turn them into condos.
