Story, 12
November 2016:
A Los Angeles area
substitute teacher has been fired after a student recorded him taunting Latino
sixth graders about the election of Donald Trump, telling them their parents
were going to be deported, reports NBC4.
According to Jennifer
Reynaga, she expected Latino students to be harassed after the election of
Trump who made bashing immigrants,and Mexicans in particular, a cornerstone of
his campaign.
“I would think the kids
would do it, but I never thought a teacher would do it,” said Reynaga said in
an interview.
The Reynaga family
turned over the recording, captured with another student’s cellphone, to the
school district where the unidentified substitute physical education teacher
can be heard speaking to students at Bret Harte Middle School in South Los
Angeles.
“If you were born here,
then your parents got to go. Then they will leave you behind, and you will be
in foster care,” the teacher can be heard telling Reynaga’s 11-year-old
daughter.
When the sixth grader
asked how Trump would find them, the teacher replied, “I have your phone
numbers, your address, your mama’s address, your daddy’s address. It’s all in
the system, sweetie.”
After being confronted
with the audio tape, school officials fired the teacher, with LAUSD officials
saying they had no further comment due to pending personnel matters.

YAHOO! News, 11 November 2016:
A 'victory' parade announced by the Loyal White Knights, a KKK chapter, will take place in North Carolina during December. "Trump's race united my people," read the announcement, according to the News Observer.
David Duke, a former Imperial Wizard of the KKK, hailed Trump's election "one of the most exciting nights of my life" and rejoiced in the fact that "our people" helped him keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House.
The KKK's official newspaper lent their backing to Trump during the election campaign, and the president elect was forced to distance himself from the hate group's support. Last week, the Trump campaign sent out a statement that the property billionaire "denounces hate in any form".
In 1927, Donald Trump's father was arrested after a KKK riot in Queens when over 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighbourhood.
A Daily Star article stated that Trump Senior was detained "on a charge of refusing to disperse from a parade when ordered to do so."….

United States Senator for Nevada Harry Reid (DEM), press release, 11 November 2016:
United States Senator for Nevada Harry Reid (DEM), press release, 11 November 2016:
Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement about the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States:
“I have personally been on the ballot in Nevada for 26 elections and I have never seen anything like the reaction to the election completed last Tuesday. The election of Donald Trump has emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry in America.
“White nationalists, Vladimir Putin and ISIS are celebrating Donald Trump’s victory, while innocent, law-abiding Americans are wracked with fear – especially African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Muslim Americans, LGBT Americans and Asian Americans. Watching white nationalists celebrate while innocent Americans cry tears of fear does not feel like America.
“I have heard more stories in the past 48 hours of Americans living in fear of their own government and their fellow Americans than I can remember hearing in five decades in politics.
Hispanic Americans who fear their families will be torn apart, African Americans being heckled on the street, Muslim Americans afraid to wear a headscarf, gay and lesbian couples having slurs hurled at them and feeling afraid to walk down the street holding hands. American children waking up in the middle of the night crying, terrified that Trump will take their parents away. Young girls unable to understand why a man who brags about sexually assaulting women has been elected president.
“I have a large family. I have one daughter and twelve granddaughters. The texts, emails and phone calls I have received from them have been filled with fear – fear for themselves, fear for their Hispanic and African American friends, for their Muslim and Jewish friends, for their LBGT friends, for their Asian friends. I’ve felt their tears and I’ve felt their fear.
“We as a nation must find a way to move forward without consigning those who Trump has threatened to the shadows. Their fear is entirely rational, because Donald Trump has talked openly about doing terrible things to them. Every news piece that breathlessly obsesses over inauguration preparations compounds their fear by normalizing a man who has threatened to tear families apart, who has bragged about sexually assaulting women and who has directed crowds of thousands to intimidate reporters and assault African Americans. Their fear is legitimate and we must refuse to let it fall through the cracks between the fluff pieces.
“If this is going to be a time of healing, we must first put the responsibility for healing where it belongs: at the feet of Donald Trump, a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate. Winning the electoral college does not absolve Trump of the grave sins he committed against millions of Americans. Donald Trump may not possess the capacity to assuage those fears, but he owes it to this nation to try.
“If Trump wants to roll back the tide of hate he unleashed, he has a tremendous amount of work to do and he must begin immediately.”
Trump's frequently racist comments during the presidential election campaign would have come as no surprise to those who knew his background.
Here is a piece of Trump family history which Trump refuses to admit - his father appears to be one of seven robed men arrested in a 1,000 strong contingent of Klu Klux Klan members who attempted to enter a 1927 Memorial Day March.
Donald Trump’s childhood home at 175-24 Devonshire Road, Jamaica, New York where he lived with his parents Fred and Mary Trump according to media reports:

Vice, 10 March 2016:
But the particulars of the David Duke incident call to mind yet another news story, one that suggests that Trump's father, the late New York real estate titan Fred Trump, once wore the robe and hood of a Klansman……
In the decades following the 1927 rally, after Fred Trump had gone on to become a wealthy real estate developer and landlord to thousands of New Yorkers, he faced accusations of racism, some of which were relatively quiet and informal. In the 1950s, one of his tenants, folk icon Woody Guthrie, wrote in the lyrics of an unpublished song that Fred Trump had drawn a "color line" in his Brooklyn neighborhood. "I suppose / Old Man Trump knows / Just how much / Racial Hate / He stirred up," the lyrics go. According to Trump biographer Gwenda Blair, Fred Trump, who had close ties to the Federal Housing Administration in the 1950s, likely profited from racist practices that the government tacitly endorsed at the time.
Formal accusations of racial bias in Fred Trump's residential real estate business eventually materialized in 1973, around the time that his son Donald was taking over management of the company. In a lawsuit filed that year, the US Department of Justice alleged that Trump Management Corporation had violated the Fair Housing Act of 1968 by systematically denying people rentals "because of race and color." Fred Trump, testifying as company president, said he was "unfamiliar" with the Fair Housing Act, and that he hadn't changed his business practices after the federal law went into effect.
In 1975, the Trumps made a deal with the government to resolve the suit without an admission of guilt. According to a New York Times story from June 11, 1975, the Trump Management Corporation "promised not to discriminate against blacks, Puerto Ricans, and other minorities." But in 1978, the Justice Department filed another discrimination suit against the company, alleging that the Trumps weren't complying with the original terms of the 1975 settlement.
A 1979 story in the Village Voice chronicled the rise of Trump's real estate empire, including allegations of racial discrimination at properties managed by Trump. According to the Voice, when there were vacancies in a Trump housing block, rental applications were secretly marked with the applicant's race, and doormen were coached to discourage black people from renting. At times, Trump rental agents were allegedly told simply not to rent to black people. In 1983, the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal looked at two "Trump Village" residential properties, and found that they were 95 percent white.
In subsequent years, as Donald Trump morphed into a grandstanding tabloid celebrity, he developed a reputation for agitating the public about racially-charged issues. In 1989, he faced national criticism over full-page ads he took out in New York newspapers, warning of "roving bands of wild criminals" and calling for the return of the death penalty in a veiled reference to the Central Park Five. More recently, in the lead-up to the last presidential race, he reignited right-wing conspiracies over Barack Obama's birthplace, sending a team of investigators to Hawaii to uncover the president's true origins.
So the fact that race has become a central part of Trump's 2016 campaign should come as no surprise. Despite Trump's own insistence that he's the "least racist person that you have ever met," devoted racists like Duke are thrilled that The Donald has "sparked an insurgency." Trump may reject their endorsements, but that doesn't mean they've rejected him in return.
Some facts about Donald John Trump (born June 1946) – the self-proclaimed outsider and everyman - you may not know.
* Donald is not a self-made man. He was a ‘trust fund kid’. His father was a wealthy builder and property developer who created million dollar trust funds while he was alive for each of his five children and a much larger one for his wife. Donald received regular dividends from his trust.
* By the time he was 31 years of age The 1976 Trust paid Trump $19,000 in 1977, $47,200 in 1978, $70,000 in 1979, $90,000 in 1980 and $214,605 in 1981. Trump also received about $12,000 a year from a 1949 trust set up by his father and nearly $2,000 a year from another 1949 trust created by his grandmother. He also received a $6,000 gift every December from his parents.
* On the death of his mother he also shared in the est. US$30 million trust that has been created for her.
* Donald did not establish the original Trump company, he took over the family real estate business E. Trump & Son in the early 1970s when his father retired, renaming it the Trump Organisation.
* Donald also borrowed a total of around US$26.5 million directly from his father whenever he found himself in financial difficulties and also relied on his father to guarantee business loans he organized with banks or act as silent partner in new projects.
* He also accessed trust money ‘loans’ on a number of occasions totalling at least US$9 million by the time he turned 50 years of age.
* After his father’s death in June 1999 a 53 year old Trump borrowed an est. US$30 million from the estate (est. to be worth around $200-300 million before taxes) to pay business debts and personal expenses.
* Trump’s three oldest children also inherited money from their grandfather’s estate.
* Donald declared businesses he owned bankrupt on six separate occasions – four times in the 1990s, once in 2004 and once in 2009.
* Trump has been called the King of Frivolous Lawsuit, suing a book author, a Miss USA contestant, a comedian, and global financial institutions.
* By the 1980s Forbes Magazine reportedly put Donald Trump’s personal wealth at est. US$200 million.
* Around 2000 Donald Trump and his surviving brother and sister cancelled a nephew’s medical insurance when the nephew challenged the terms of Fred Trump’s will – leaving a chronically ill infant without medical cover.
* In 2015 Donald was stating that his net worth was US$10 billion, although by 2016 Forbes was only placing his personal wealth at US$3.7 billion.
* Trump has an opulent lifestyle, with private residences in New York, Palm Beach, Bedford, Charlottesville and Beverly Hills. This posed photograph is of Donald, Melania and Barron in the penthouse at Trump Towers, Fifth Avenue, New York:

“I have had, earlier this morning, a very warm and
constructive and practical discussion with President-elect Trump.
We canvassed a number of issues. Most importantly, we
absolutely agreed on the vital importance of our strong alliance. I suppose as both being businessmen who found our way
into politics, somewhat later in life, we come to the problems of our own
nations and indeed world problems with a pragmatic approach. Mr Trump is a deal
maker. He is a businessman, a deal maker and he will, I have no doubt, view the
world in a very practical and pragmatic way.” [news.com.au, 11 November 2016]
