Trump properties discriminated against black tenants lawsuit shows Nilevalleypeoples


Previous posts have noted a number of tactics used by whites to sandbag or block black efforts in employment, housing and other areas, even as right wing conservatives deny their existence, and continue denying that there is much racism abroad. Interestingly enough, Presidential candidate Donald Trump was once sued by the federal government for racial discriminatory practices in his properties- blocking black tenant applications by use of racial "coding."  A Daily Beast article notes the coding scheme in operation- black applications were marked with a "C" for "Colored" or a Number "9". But coding was not the only method.  Other tactics such as quoting blacks inflated prices, using phony leases, or claiming no units were available were also deployed to sandbag blacks.

Trump dismissed the charge and in his usual bombastic fashion counter-sued the federal government, a suit eventually dropped. Using the favorite tactic of racial coverup- "plausible denial" - Trump claimed "no knowledge" but at least 5 people working in his properties contradicted "the Donald's" denial. Per court documents unearthed in the Beast article:



"But according to other court documents from the suit, Thomas Miranda was not the only staffer who claimed to know of a secret racial code.

According to the DOJ, a former super at Trump’s Highlander complex claimed that he would also attach a coded piece of paper to let the “central office” know that an applicant was black. He added that a number of supers in Queens used a “phony lease” to enable them to refuse apartments to people of color. The super’s assistant backed up his story about the code and said she was told, “Trump Management tries not to rent to black persons...

The DOJ said that Allan Gross, another rental agent, claimed that he, too, was aware of a code used “to designate which applicants were black or otherwise ‘undesirable.’”

The DOJ alleged that former staffer Harry Schefflin, who worked at Trump’s Briarwick apartment complex in 1973, told government investigators that he was personally ordered to rent only to “Jews and executives” and to discourage blacks from renting. Schefflin said that Fred Trump and other agents of the company would use a racial code to indicate when a renter was black, marking the applications with a “No. 9.”

In addition to the alleged code, the lawsuit claimed other Trump employees had spoken of a host of nasty tactics to keep blacks from renting apartments—from supers telling prospective black applicants that the rental rates were substantially higher than they actually were, to keeping “a sham lease and check to be shown to black applicants.”

One rental agent at Trump’s Tysens Park Apartments said that he’d been told by Fred Trump himself not to rent to blacks.

Fred, he said, wished to “decrease the number of black tenants already residing at Tysens Park by encouraging black tenants to locate housing elsewhere.”





“No Vacancy” For Blacks

In its lawsuit, the DOJ listed more than half a dozen cases in which a black person would try to rent an apartment at a Trump-owned building and would be denied; but when a white person—often a “tester” from New York’s Urban League—would inquire about vacancies, they would allegedly get offered an apartment in the same building.

Among the claims:

According to the DOJ, Alfred Hoyt, a black man, was told there were no two-bedroom apartments at Trump’s Westminster apartment complex in Brooklyn. His white wife, Sheila, was offered a two-bedroom apartment the very next day. They were admitted to the building after filing a complaint with the New York City Human Rights Commission.

The DOJ claimed that Henrietta Davis, a black woman, tried to rent an apartment at the Fontainebleau in Brooklyn in 1972. She said she was told by the super that he had no authority to accept rental applications. And yet when Muriel Salzman, a white Urban League tester, went to the Fontainebleau directly after Davis, she was told that two apartments were free and she could rent either of them.

According to the DOJ, just a week later, in 1972, Godfrey Jacobs—a black tester for the Urban League—was told there were no vacancies at the Beachaven Apartments in Sheepshead Bay. Yet George Sim Johnston, a white tester, was offered a rental at that building on the very same day.

The DOJ alleged that Muriel Silberberg, a black employee of the New York Human Rights Commission, says she was told by a man named Paul Ziselman on March 10, 1973, that there were no one-bedroom apartments available in Trump’s Beachaven complex. Ziselman, who identified himself to Silberberg as a rental agent, allegedly later told Phyllis Spiro, a white employee of the Urban League, that he “followed a racially discriminatory rental policy at the direction of his superiors” and that very few “colored” people lived there.

According to government investigators, Beverly Best, a black woman, tried to rent at the Beachaven complex in December of 1972. She says she was told by phone that an apartment was available but when she showed up in person the next day to fill out an application, she was told there were no vacancies. She was only admitted to the building after she, too, filed a complaint with the New York City Human Rights Commission.

By the summer of 1974, after a new lead attorney, Donna Goldstein, had taken over the case, the government detailed a series of tests conducted by the New York Urban League in which a black employee would try to rent an apartment at a Trump property and would often be denied, while a white employee was often allegedly granted the same apartment.

In court documents, Goldstein alleged that she had talked to a super named Peter Connan at the Trumps’ Westminster apartment complex. Connan said he was advised that the Trump office staff wanted to know the race of applicants, and that he’d overheard a Trump staffer tell another super that he should have told a black applicant there were no vacancies.

Goldstein also noted that a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Laitman, were allegedly denied the opportunity to sublet their apartment in 1973 because the subleasee was black.

The Laitmans had written a letter to the Trumps in August 1973—which was later introduced in court—claiming that a neighbor had complained that “if the apartment were rented to a Negro she would break her lease and encourage others in the building to do likewise” and stating their belief that the building’s manager “refused to rent the apt to [the potential subleasee] because he is Negro.”

In the meantime, Trump settled- entering into a consent decree with the federal government to clean up his act. He was hauled into court again, after it was discovered his implementation was, well, either shaky or non-existent. Read rest of story here.

Trump however would not be alone as federal policy for decades supported such discrimination:

"Literally, those authorized to make loans at banks would draw on a map a red line around a black community, and no one inside that red line could get a loan. Until 1949 the FHA also encouraged the use of restrictive covenants banning African Americans from given neighborhoods and refused to insure mortgages in integrated neighborhoods. Thanks to the FHA, no bank would insure loans in the ghetto, and few African Americans could live outside it. See Quadagno, Color of Welfare 24 25, and Massey and Denton, American Apartheid."
--Brander et al. 2001.The Making and Unmaking of Whiteness. p 135. 



Note: Unlike some media venues that have highlighted this lawsuit, the present writer makes no claim that this past history disqualifies Trump from being President.  

But it does raise questions about the propaganda drumbeat of "racial innocence" used in many quarters, as well as claims that discrimination against blacks was "solved" by the passage of Civil Rights Laws. Given, as credible analyses above show, that " HUD studies have found that African Americans and Latinos are discriminated against in one of every five home-buying encounters and one in every four attempts to rent an apartment," Trump's discriminatory practices, it could be argued, are quite in keeping with many segments of white America.

But again, standard right wing propaganda insinuates, if not outright claims that such racist practices as noted above are "things of the past." As can be seen they are not. Another standard line is the "bad apple" argument- anomalies by individual bigots and so on. But as data above shows said practices have been systematic and deeply embedded. The end result is to ensure that blacks are denied equal access to the major source of wealth in the US, housing. Black families locked into substandard housing for example, or relegated to the least desirable properties thus are routed to a secondary track, while whites manipulate the system, flouting their own laws on the books to enhance, expand and consolidate their wealth. This is the true meaning of "racial reality" - though a massive and dishonest right wing propaganda drumbeat seeks to obscure it and deny it. None of the above of course means that a focus on the positive and positive efforts should not be the primary concern of groups or individuals, but let us not be naive.



As noted in our "white guilt" series, white people don't feel much guilt about freezing blacks out of equal opportunities in housing. It took 20 years, as recently as 1988, to finally get significant enforcement teeth in the 1968 Civil Rights bill ( Open Housing), and even after that, racial discrimination in the housing market still remains a problem.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is well known, as is the Voting Rights Act of 1965. But the third big victory of the King era, enacted in the ferment after his murder, is the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which deals heavily with banning discrimination in housing. Bottled up for years by white legislators, King's assassination finally sparked movement. The 1968 Act banned discrimination in housing, covering about 80% of the market. However it contained few enforcement provisions. HUD could take complaints and the Justice Department could file suit in cases of "wide patterns" of discrimination but few landlords would be so kind as to leave a paper trail showing "wide patterns". This primarily left laborious individual lawsuits- meaning every discrimination incident had to be met and filed as a separate court case. This cumbersome and costly arrangement, deliberately put in place by white legislators, ensured that progress would be painfully slow. It was only until 1988, 20 years after, than real enforcement muscle was introduced, as credible histories show. The book Waking from the Dream below gives a detailed analysis- for example- quote: :

"The great legislative victory for the civil rights movement in 1968 is the last of the victories of the movement that King symbolizes, and it is more properly his legacy—more a result of his sacrifice—than the others. It may be that the nation’s memory has neglected that final act because it did not satisfy the high expectations of its supporters. It was imperfect in its effects: It took a Supreme Court decision in 1969 to remove its major exceptions. Women were not specifically protected by it till 1974. Enforcement was rarely available except via individual lawsuits—cumbersome and expensive for discrimination victims to pursue—until Congress strengthened the enforcement provisions in 1988."
--David L. Chapelle. 2014. Waking from the Dream: The Struggle for Civil Rights in the Shadow of Martin Luther King Jr.


HUD enforcement in 1968 was deliberately limited to "conciliation" and the organization estimated that some 2 million cases of discrimination occurred every year. As one NY Time story puts it:

  "The 1968 law, passed after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of housing on the basis of race, color, sex, religion or national origin. Under the law, discrimination victims can complain to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. But H.U.D.'s powers are limited to ''conference, conciliation or persuasion.'' That hasn't proved to be a very potent deterrent to discrimination. H.U.D. estimates that two million cases occur each year.  

Other legal paths are available. Individuals may pursue their own cases in court. With expert testimony, some have won millions in damage awards. The Justice Department can file suit if there is evidence of a wide ''pattern or practice'' of discrimination. For landlords and real estate agents, litigation can be a costly lesson in discrimination. But for some victims, it is time-consuming and jeopardizes the availability of desired housing.

  That's why tougher enforcement is not only desirable, but necessary. Under amendments passed by the Senate last week, an administrative law judge would investigate any discrimination charge, and, on finding discrimination, could award compensatory damages, issue an injunction or impose civil fines of $10,000 to $50,000. Either party could seek review by a Federal district judge. The housing law would also be broadened to cover the disabled and families with children."

A history of housing discrimination struggle is instructive for it contradicts the false right wing narrative about race in America.,including the bogus "white guilt" meme. Of special note is how black veterans suffered, people who put their lives on the line for the United States yet could not get decent housing because of the color of their skin. It should also be noted that alleged "law and order" whites routinely ignored laws and court decisions on the books, so they could lock out the black veterans. "Law and order" only applied to blacks apparently. It took the traumatic aftermath of the assassination of Martin Luther King to finally get whites to give these veterans some justice. As one detailed historical summary puts it:


"Despite Supreme Court decisions, including Shelley v. Kraemer (1948) and Jones v. Mayer Co. (decided in June 1968), barring the exclusion of African Americans or other minorities from certain sections of cities, race-based housing patterns were still in force by the late 1960s, and those who challenged them often met with resistance, hostility and even violence. Meanwhile, while a growing number of African-American or Hispanic members of the armed forces fought and died in Vietnam, on the home front their families had trouble renting or purchasing homes in certain residential areas because of their race or national origin. In this climate, organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) the G.I. Forum and the National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing lobbied for new fair housing legislation to be passed..

The proposed civil rights legislation of 1968 expanded on and was intended as a follow-up to the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964. The bill’s original goal was to extend federal protection to civil rights workers, but it was eventually expanded to address racial discrimination in housing. Title VIII of the proposed Civil Rights Act was known as the Fair Housing Act, later used as a shorthand description for the entire bill. It prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin and sex.

In the Senate debate over the proposed legislation, Senator Edward Brooke of Massachusetts–the first African-American ever to be elected to the Senate by popular vote–spoke personally of his return from World War II and his inability to provide a home of his choice for his new family because of his race. In early April 1968, the bill passed the Senate, albeit by an exceedingly slim margin, thanks to the support of the Senate Republican leader, Everett Dirksen, which defeated a southern filibuster. It then went to the House of Representatives, from which it was expected to emerge significantly weakened; the House had grown increasingly conservative as a result of urban unrest and the increasing strength and militancy of the Black Power movement.

On April 4–the day of the Senate vote–the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, where he had gone to aid striking sanitation workers. Amid a wave of emotion–including riots, burning and looting in more than 100 cities around the country–President Lyndon B. Johnson increased pressure on Congress to pass the new civil rights legislation.. Since the summer of 1966, when King had participated in marches in Chicago calling for open housing in that city, he had been associated with the fight for fair housing. Johnson argued that the bill would be a fitting testament to the man and his legacy, and he wanted it passed prior to King’s funeral in Atlanta.

Despite the historic nature of the Fair Housing Act, and its stature as the last major act of legislation of the civil rights movement, in practice housing remained segregated in many areas of the United States in the years that followed. From 1950 to 1980, the total black population in America’s urban centers increased from 6.1 million to 15.3 million. During this same time period, white Americans steadily moved out of the cities into the suburbs, taking many of the employment opportunities blacks needed into communities where they were not welcome to live. This trend led to the growth in urban America of ghettoes, or inner city communities with high minority populations that were plagued by high unemployment, crime and other social ills.

In 1988, Congress passed the Fair Housing Amendments Act, which expanded the law to prohibit discrimination in housing based on disability or on family status (pregnant women or the presence of children under 18). These amendments brought the enforcement of the Fair Housing Act even more squarely under the control of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which sends complaints regarding housing discrimination to be investigated by its Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO)."

Victim of housing bias- not white enough...

Lest the reader naively think that the problem was "solved" by legislation in 1968 or 1988, the brutal fact of American life is that housing discrimination against people of color is still a reality. The reality is that much white bias and racism never really went away after the Civil Rights era. It simply went underground, and became more sophiscated and subtle. The article below, shows that after almost another 20 years biased white people are still at it. The "colored" or "tainted" family in question was denied housing. But when a white "tester" couple applied for the same housing at the same place, they were quickly accepted. Meanwhile the "colored" family was frozen out. To refocus on our theme herein, if there was all this white "guilt" about black people, how come white people are still discriminating so much against them in housing? Oh to be sure, the landlord below did not have "NO NEGROES" signs posted. Things these days are a little more subtle. But one wonders- where is all this alleged "white guilt" and so-called "favoritism" showed towards black people? The case of white bias in housing illustrates the mendacious propaganda and hypocrisy engaged on by white conservatives, right wingers and even some liberals. QUOTE:

"Four years later, Rembis still gets emotional when she talks about what the testers found. "This part is really hard," she said, her voice breaking. "This part is really hard. The black family and the white family had the same income, the same credit history, and the black family had the least number of kids. They wouldn't even let them see the house. They wouldn't return their phone calls." The white family, the testing showed, was called back immediately and invited to see the house. The Rembis family applied to rent this 3,000-square-foot house in Hudson, Mich., but was denied, according to HUD, because Claire Rembis is part black. What happened to the Rembis family isn’t an isolated instance of a landlord flouting the 1968 Fair Housing Act. It’s a rare case of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development actually investigating and filing formal charges. Today, federal authorities filed a complaint against the owners of the property and proposed to settle the case with a $12,500 fine to be paid to the Rembis family, according to a Justice Department official. The proposed settlement also calls for Paula and David French to undergo training in following the fair housing law. Attempts to reach the Frenchs’ attorney were unsuccessful.

Few civil rights laws are more routinely defied than the ban on housing discrimination. HUD studies have found that African Americans and Latinos are discriminated against in one of every five home-buying encounters and one in every four attempts to rent an apartment. Only a scant few of these incidents ever come to the attention of authorities. In 2010, HUD and the National Fair Housing Alliance, reported that HUD, state, local and private groups received about 29,000 complaints from people alleging discrimination for a wide variety of reasons — including race, familial status, disability and national origin. About two-thirds were handled by private attorneys and non-profits which settled cases and, in some instances, filed civil law suits.

The remaining 10,000 went to state, local and federal agencies which together filed only 700 formal charges of discrimination in 2010. That year HUD found reasonable cause to believe discrimination based on race or national origin occurred in just 11 cases. The Department of Justice filed 29 cases — the lowest number since 2003."

Trump might generate" enough for victory.. 

It is also interesting that white working-class voters, the segment of the population that historically is the most OPENLY opposed to fair housing laws, backs Trump's presidential run heavily.  If Trump follows the example of former president Ronald Reagan, housing enforcement will be cut back, just as Reagan gutted the EEOC and other enforcement mechanisms against employment discrimination. Reagan's "race coded" message strategy played well in that era, and Trump's "anger base" may likewise yield profitable results. In 2012, the white low-enders voted for Romney by a margin of 18 points. In 2016's pre-presidential primaries and polls- they expand this support for Trump. Should Trump generate enough of this "angry white loser" vote - to paraphrase the sympathetic author of the recent "Hillbilly Elegy" (see link)  - he just might offset enough minority and liberal votes to secure victory.

As noted in previous posts, these declining whites are worried, but is salvation via "the Don?"  The same rich billionaire that rails against investment overseas weakening American jobs for example, has himself been a significant overseas investor per the conservative Forbes magazine. A "coded race bait" strategy is an excellent means for obscuring such contradictions, especially since the 2016 vote can signify a "take back" from "the cullud" Obama in the White House. What better diversionary opportunity? Its a perfect two-fer for those who grasp the "code"- cutback on programs that help the culluds, and get rid of the cullud leader in Washington. Oh and by the way, please don't mention the relatively high levels of welfare whites collect despite their having massively more wealth and income than blacks. But whether Trump will be the white low-ender's long-sought savior, or turns out to be an opportunistic politician that, relegates the "white trash" to the curb after victory, remains to be seen. If "the loyal base" is ignored after election time or fobbed off with chump change,  many blacks have some experience with such things (including wou;d-be "messiahs,") and  may indeed say- "welcome to the club."

Note: Nothing above constitutes an "endorsement" for Trump's general election opponent- Hilary Clinton.

Stealing credibility- Dinesh D'souza has prison epiphany- after hanging with the homies- Hallelujah Hilary!




Dinesh D'souza seems to be straining credibility again.. But why aren't people outside the echo chamber surprised?  This post looks at his new 2016 book "Stealing America." It is a laugher. Exposed for his own corruption and adultery, as documented at his trial, D'souza attempts to lay the groundwork for a comeback with a new package of propaganda and white lies - a laughable attempt to "spin" his own corruption and exposure by playing the "prison redemption" card, and presenting himself as some sort of "martyr." In this new spin package, D'souza had this supposed epiphany by talking to the cons while he was incarcerated. You see homes, they told him some stuff about gangs, and presto- our chap D'souza had the blinding insight that "criminal gangs" can be likened to how "the liberals" (insert other enemies here..:) operate. Dang! Who woulda thunk the cons were blessed with such wit and wisdom?


certayfied gangsta...

Where these hardcore cons supposed to be homes?
 But right off the bat D'souza's "redemption spin" fails. He says that his "experience with criminal gangs" opened up his eyes to the criminality of "the liberals." One cannot help but fall to the floor laughing. For one thing, a panty-waist like D'souza got an easy ride. He served his sentence in a light security "confinement center" in San Diego County- at which he did not even have to spend the entire day, but checked in at night for 8 hours. He was then free to leave- the rest of the day was his. And he served a mere 8 months- a slap on the wrist, after which he had to do some light duty community service, and pay a piddling fine - chump change for a man raking in hundreds of thousands every year via his books and videos. It is not a venue crawling with hard-core "criminal gangs." Hell, the place seems like one of those celebrity prisons where affluent shallow white types like Paris Hilton go to serve their "sentences." The picture of some grizzled wise guy or hardcase gang-banger pulling D'souza aside for "conferencing and commiseration" in said "Community Confinement Center" is totally ludicrous. Right off the bat, D'souza's "prison epiphany" fails the smell test.


The easy ride- coddling wrongdoers?
What is ironic is that the right wing D'souza himself has railed against "coddling" lawbreakers and criminal justice leniency, but turns out he himself benefited from "coddling" with an easy-to-serve sentence, at a wrist slap venue, escaping two years of jailtime with REAL gang-bangers. Yet with such an easy sentence, the hypocrite whines about "persecution." Also ironic- it was the same D'souza who rails against "irresponsible blacks" that himself was caught out in conduct grossly irresponsible, including not only his bribery scheme, but cheating on his wife, and on top of that, taking his mistress to a Christian conference. All of these are well documented at his trial, and elsewhere.

Even more telling, D'souza  who has railed against "a sense of entitlement" by "the liberals," blacks and other enemies, is himself a smug seeker of entitlement favor. As reported in several media outlets, he requested "a summer break" from his community service duties- teaching ESL kids at a local private school. Whoa! Tough duty bwoy!  "With respect to [the] request that Mr. D'Souza's community service hours be `waived' from June 1, 2015, until July 13, 2015, the request is respectfully denied..  The short explanation is, as all criminal defendants are aware, that we don't provide `summer breaks' in these circumstances," federal judge Berman wrote.

Instead of finding an alternative means of performing community service when the school let out for the summer, D’Souza had his parole officer petition the court for a “summer break.” Rather lazy of you, eh old chap- you who has railed against "lazy" blacks. Why are YOU trying to get out of your own obligations? Interestingly (and it illustrates not only Dsouza's sense of entitlement but also his vanity), the probation officer included a copy of a Vanity Fair profile in the "summer break" request.- as if that puff piece was supposed to impress. To which the judge sardonically responded:  “the court has no immediate reaction other than the article suggests several fertile areas of discussion during Mr. D’Souza’s required therapeutic counseling.” Sho nuff... Perhaps Dsouza thinks this is India where some puffery and influence can grease the skids, eh? Now what does this say about Dsouza's own invocation of "rational racism" as regards how certain minorities are viewed? The judge ordered counseling to continue because D'souza not only displays arrogance but seems to be unaware that he has done anything wrong. Mayhaps a little counseling with that non-summer break might help..
http://www.salon.com/2015/05/06/dinesh_dsouzas_request_for_a_summer_break_from_community_service_gets_slapped_down_by_federal_judge/


Interestingly enough, D'souza copped a guilty plea at trial, when the government was about to put his wife Dixie on as a rebuttal witness. According to Dixie, she was never given a chance to explain her role or clear her name- the illegal contributions D'souza made in her name were apparently done without her knowledge, including she says, forging of her signature, and repeatedly lying to her about the cash. No wonder the Indian copped! Dixie wrote a letter to the court afterward, in an attempt to set the record straight, amid a barrage of falsifications and misrepresentations by D'souza, to which she was given no opportunity to respond. I have to admire how she stands up for herself. She notes that $30,000 of the family's money was given away. Hell hath no fury like a woman whose family budget has been raided! According to Dixie, D'souza also used his mistress, (who herself is married it turned out later- highlighting another lie that she was D'souza's "fiancee") as a front to launder the illegal contribution- $10,000 of the family's money. You can read her statement to the court here:




Whining the "victim" card..

The second thing that stands out bout this book, aside from the distorted "spin," is how D'souza continues whining. Constantly trying to minimize his own culpability, he keeps playing the "victim" card- oh dear- the heroic teller of truths, unjustly persecuted by "politically correct" forces.. LOL.. Only D'souza's echo chamber of acolytes or gullible flunkies buys this rubbish. He tried the same "victim card" approach at his trial and drew a sharp rebuke from the judge who noted he was long on portraying himself as a "victim" but short on acknowledging remorse or responsibility for his actions. The judge dismissed D'souza's claims of political prosecution as whining, and rebuked him repeatedly for his self-serving explanations of the behavior he had pled guilty to. The judge even quoted from a letter to the court from Mr. D’Souza’s white ex-wife, Dixie D’Souza, in which she said he had a “flawed character and lack of truthfulness” and accused him of physically abusing her. (NY Times- D’Souza Avoids Prison in Campaign Finance Case. Sept. 23, 2014).




Yes "the liberals" can be gangsters but how come we don't hear about conservative "gangstas"?

But this is typical D'souza, a vain, self-serving distorter of the truth. His book is along the same intellectually dishonest lines, just as his book: "America- Imagine A World Without Her" is similarly dishonest. In "America" for example he claims that Obama was elected due to "white guilt." This laughable bit of rubbish, eaten up by the dull hordes of the right as "the truth" was debunked in detail earlier- where it was pointed out- Obama received about the same number of votes as previous white Dem politicians- like Clinton or Carter. White people did not go out of their way to vote for him more, nor apparently were they impressed by the hapless "grizzly" Sarah Palin and John McCain the right wing put up as alternatives. But D'souza is a master at dealing in rubbish.

In "Stealing America" he tries yet more of the same shell game, attempting to drive home the claim as he writes that due to this alleged "epiphany"-  the current administration is essentially just a criminal machine/gang, running things mostly to benefit themselves & their masters (bankers/corporate globalist elitists). Hilary will continue the same "racket" he "learned." Whooo... What he doesn't mention is that conservatives themselves are quite skilled at gangsterism- and indeed said conservatives were at the forefront of, or cheered along the weakening of government regulations designed to keep financial and other "gangsterism" in check. It was under his hero Ronald Reagan for example that a huge wave of such deregulation began, a trend that continued on into the George W Bush administration, as detailed studies such as (Thomas O. McGarity- Freedom to Harm: The Lasting Legacy of the Laissez Faire Revival-2013) demonstrate. This weakening was one of the key components that led to the crash of 2007-2008- which by the way was accompanied by a bailout package that was quite generous to the financial gangsters- proposed initially by Bush. But none of this gets much ink in D'souza's distorted world.



Indian D'souza himself benefited from allegedly "unneeded" Civil Rights Laws or rulings- like freedom from segregation and freedom to marry his white wife, something forbidden before "unneeded" civil rights laws and supporting court decisions. 

 The Indian D'souza may not even have been allowed to become a citizen at one time in America.  In 1923 the US Supreme Court ruled that Asian Indians were not eligible for citizenship, stripping several naturalized Indians of citizenship. A 1922 federal law stipulated that women who married aliens ineligible for citizenship would lose theirs- provisions not lifted until the 1940s. Had he lived in America just 4 decades prior to his arrival he and his white wife might have been non-citizens. The 1921 and 1924 immigration law set numerical limits but only for Europeans. Other non-whites were banned. The book by Ian Haney 1996- White by law: the legal construction of race" sets out the dismal facts in detail. It took decades of struggle, suffering and sacrifice to get such things reversed.

But along comes the hypocrite Dsouza to benefit off the backs of those who suffered, even as he dismisses civil rights protections as "unneeded" directly or by implication.  Since he arrived on American shores in 1978, well AFTER all the messy and ugly business of the "unneeded" Civil Rights law he dismisses, he and white wife get to stay in any public accommodations he chooses, can pretty much buy housing where they want, and get to send their kids pretty much to the schools they want, without being blocked and sandbagged by racist Realtors, restaurant owners or bureaucrats. Furthermore, he and Dixie lived in Virginia, a state that once imprisoned or threatened to imprison interracial couples for the crime of "miscegenation." D'Souza gets to have to both ways, He can dismiss Civil Rights laws as "unneeded," because as an "honorary white" immigrant coming after the fact, he can enjoy all the benefits of that which he dismisses, and never had to worry like say, interracial couple Mildred Loving and her husband- miscegenation "criminals" sentenced to jail or exile.

As a class, white women like Dsouza's wife Dixie benefited most from "affirmative action"..


The man with special insight- on a special mission

His nickname among certain press journalists "Distort Denewsa" is apt. Aside from his so-called "epiphany" during which he allegedly "learned" from "criminal gangs" the rest of the book is another rehash of talking points he has made before. Gee ain't Obama awful, and won't Hilary be too?

One thing that doesn't make it into his book is what he proposed in his 1996 tome -"The End of Racism" - where be advocated re-appealing key provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He has never retracted this and his hypocritical posturing that he had some sort of "special insight" into "race relations" is the same approach he repeats in this book- only this time the "special insight" he gains is due to "time spent" with "criminal gangs"..

Pause... stifle laughter..



A scammer by any other name- himself a beneficiary of "special preferences" ...

D'souza organizes his chapters to talk of "scams"- Chapter 5 the reparations scam, Chapter 6 the greed & inequality scam etc. Most of these chapters are simply  repackaged talking points, presented with the usual snark and cherry picked anecdotes. But it really a "scam" to question the high levels of CEO pay especially involving companies they have run into trouble? Is it a "scam" to question the favoritism shown of the bankers and financiers who got bailed out in 2008/2009? Is it a "scam" to question police misconduct including pervasive falsification of arrest reports when certain things happen? Reasonable people can certainly disagree on the issues, but why are so many areas of social policy waved aside as a "scam," save as a propaganda tactic to dismiss having to address the evidence or engage in honest debate? 

Reparations for example are opposed by prominent liberals including ex-President Obama, scholar Michael Eric Dyson, historian Henry Louis Gates etc., all of whom are black liberals or progressives, and the black community is itself divided over the issue. So where are these "scams" being pushed by such "liberals"?

Dsouza reserves much rhetoric for being "agin" special "preferences" but as already noted above, "preferences" are quite beneficial to certain whites. Why is there so little in-depth discussion of that aspect? Ironically D'souza himself is the beneficiary of special "affirmative action" preferences. He was appointed "scholar" at prestigious Hoover Institute at Stanford for example, despite having no serious scholarly publication, or peer reviewed article published, and only having a BA in English. He was appointed president of prestigious private Kings College despite no experience in academic administration, or ministry. As one detailed analysis notes:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He holds the post of  “scholar” [Rishwain Scholar at Stanford University’s prestigious Hoover Institution] but has earned only a BA in English from Dartmouth where he eventually transferred. At age 26, he served as Senior Domestic Policy Analyst under Reagan without a shred of serious policy training. In fact D’Souza, the political “expert,” has no training whatsoever in social science. Moreover, he has been appointed to two research institute positions without a single peer- reviewed essay or publication. And, perhaps not surprisingly, he is treated as a serious intellectual in the media and publishing world despite the remarkable lack of research that goes into his books. 

As an immigrant “success” story, his is more reminiscent of the political patronage and smoke-filled backroom promotions of over a century ago—only this time ethnicity and tribalism are denounced and denied as the source of D’Souza’s power. In reality, D’Souza has little in the way of credentials or training to merit any of his promotions... If Dinesh D’Souza were not East Indian, he would simply have no role to play for the Right: there would be no White House credentials, no appointments as “scholar,” and no press."

  FROM: --How Dinesh Gets Over: The Unmeritorious Scholarship of Dinesh D'Souza, by Christine Kelly- 2003- Logosonline



Oh by the way- D'souza as seen previously had some kind things to say about "rational racism" - but he didn't need special insight from "criminal gangs" to draw his conclusions.   Bottom line- if you want good entertainment by a self-serving fibber and distorter, this book is for you. If you want a standard rehash of right wing talking points, cheered along by an echo chamber of "the faithful" then this book is certainly for you. If not, skip it. Note this review does not apply to other works where D'souza seems more sincere such as his books on Christianity- but hypocrisy and mendacity not sincerity seem more to mark this one. Perhaps his polemic should be called "Stealing Credibility."

DSouza's personal background is relevant because he himself references it on several occasions- implying special insight, he thinks black government employment is "parasitical" (but not employment of white people by government) , and he wants to roll back the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Dang shame that a black man can eat his hamburger in peace next to some white people...

The brown man with the "special racial insight." On several occasions Dsouza references himself as having some sort of special insight into racial matters and discrimination, as in his 1991 book "Illiberal Education" and in appearances on media shoes such as the MacNeil/Lehrer NEwshour (June 18, 1991) where he specifically points to his Indian background and insinuates how it gives him some sort of special insight into America's racial situation. See page 22- Illiberal Education, where he talks about being from India and how he got involved due to his background in this heterogeneous society. On the MacNeil/Lehrer appearance he opines that America is becoming a multiracial society and the whole issue is "transcending black and white" again implying that he has some sort of special insight because of this "diverse" background - the straight-talking minority guy who says things others dare not say. A self-flattering picture indeed, but one that raises its own questions.


 Oh those "parasitical" Negroes working for government- but white people doing the same - hey, you're OK. In 1996's "The End of Racism" he condemns high levels of black employment in government as "parasitical", saying nary a word about high levels among whites, like white southerners, or groups like the white Irish, who fed and feed extensively from the government trough, and indeed used their control of municipal governments to discriminate against other groups. Indeed, as late as the early WW2 era, fully ONE-THIRD of the white Irish were working for government. As historians Bayor and Meager- 1996 show- quote:


"As a consequence, the public sector employed a full one-third of first, second and third-generation Irish Americans in 1930 compared with just 6 percent in 1900. This patronage helped produce a heavy concentration of Irish in jobs on the fire and police departments and in municipally owned subways, streetcars, waterworks and port facilities. Many of the city's Irish middle class worked on the public payroll, especially in the public schools, and thousands of others labored in construction jobs tied to city expenditures. For second-generation Irish-American women, jobs as schoolteachers were the most sought-after career. Such patronage policies would help to bind the Irish working class and much of the middle class Tammany Hall for another generation."
--Bayor and Meagher 1996. The New York Irish, p. 313

Looks like white people are doing pretty well as far as government checks. But only blacks are dismissively singled out by D'souza on this score. Predictably, he also does not mention the high levels of government employment in his own native India, nor the high levels of government employment among white women, like his wife Dixie. It is only blacks who are targeted as the "parasites" never whites, and certainly not white women like his wife.


The brown man also wants to roll back the Civil Rights Act of 1964- even though he himself benefited nicely by it. In his 1996 book "The End of Racism" he advocates just such a course- page 544- quote: "Am I calling for a repeal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Actually, yes. The law should be changed so that its nondiscrimination provisions apply only to government."

The fact that this self-styled observer with supposed special insight on "diversity" would roll back key provisions (equal treatment from all serving the public) of this critical legislation, provisions in public accommodation that even conservative Republican presidents said needed to be fixed to improve America's overseas standing and to affirm America's commitment to equality for all, and from which he himself and his wife have benefited, testifies to immigrant D'souza's hypocrisy and lack of understanding of some of the deepest threads of America's racial history.

It is easy for Dsouza to speak breezily about "unneeded" legislation when you benefit from it, and never had to live under constant harassment and stigma for over a century. Arriving in America in 1978, Dsouza was/is the beneficiary of over a century of civil rights struggle. It is relatively easy for him to speak dismissively of civil rights- he reaps the benefits while decrying the vehicle. The work of removing barriers was already done when D'souza arrived on US soil. He was free to board any public transportation and take any properly available seat, free to buy property in the neighborhood of his choice, free to check into any hotel, free to eat at any restaurant, free to send his kids to local schools (D'souza arrived after legal battles forced an end to school segregation in Arizona for example and was thus free to attend the school of his choice), and free to marry and take around his white wife, and enjoy all of the above with her, without official harassment or criminal charge due to race, or being denied the above benefits or continually harassed by private transactors because of his race. It is doubtful for example if he had to undergo the indignity of being turned away, frozen out, or denied service when he honeymooned with his wife, or took her to a restaurant, or tried to buy their first house. Aside from the fact that under earlier Arizona law, D'souza as a "Mongolian" could not have legally married his Caucasian wife, discriminatory practices by private transactors in restaurants, housing, public accomodations and other venues against non-whites were common in Arizona prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent years of enforcement. Perhaps as a self-styled "honorary white," reaping the protection of the very law he dismisses, Dsouza has the privilege of never having to worry.

 It is also curious that D'souza, who married said white woman, faced the objections of her parents, who did not want the girl to marry an Indian. Dsouza says he was hurt, but like a true "honorary white," considers the objection to be "ethnocentrism" not "racism". But again, due to "unneeded" Civil Rights legislation, D'souza can get away with it, and build a comfortable life for his wife free of private harassment, persecution and significant discrimination, unlike interracial couples who faced jail sentences, and vicious legal and extra-legal harassment, including physical assault and murder. But hey, maybe what they faced was mere "ethnocentrism."
