Let's just say it - if LeBron James was white, President Trump never would have questioned his intelligence or his charity work. How do I know? Let's check the history...
In the 1970s, Trump was sued for not renting to African Americans at his properties... salon.com/2011/04/28/don…
Trump still thinks five young Black men are guilty of a crime DNA evidence has absolved them of. #CentralPark5 nbcnews.com/politics/2016-…
