Suing over the spirit of an agreement isn't going to go well. [/quote]

Neither will restricting access to recreational resources that have long been available to the community as a public good — including one of the few golf courses where Black Americans were, historically, able to play. Hmm. “Black” and “segregation “ are on Trump’s banned words list, so substitute “African Americans “ for “Black Americans” and assume that most are educated enough to understand that “historically “ points to the long history of racial segregation and Jim Crow laws in DC.  [/quote]

There's no evidence of this happening. [/quote]

No?  So you have some special spidey sense that the Langston course will be left as it is?  Or you just like to make: “There’s no evidence of this happening” posts without providing any clarifying information ?

Why is the burden of proof on me to prove things won't happen? So far, you have not shown any evidence to support your claims of racism and racial segregation.[/quote]

The burden is on you to support your own assertions— if you want anyone else to take them seriously. As to the rest, if you so little understanding of the history of racial segregation in DC and the historical importance of the Langston golf course to Black golfers — and you couldn’t be bothered to read the link that I posted, nothing that I can say here is likely to educate you in a meaningful way.  Enjoy your bliss — as they say.  Peace out.

To date, there is no evidence of Trump reviving racial segregation for the federal golf courses. In fact, none of Trump's private golf courses have racial segregation policies. Mar-a-lago was opened to Blacks and Jews after Trump purchased it. [/quote]

Ahhh. I guess you missed the word “historical “ in my original post.  Which explains — perhaps — your blathering about burden of proof. 
Trump does, indeed, have a history of imposing segregated policies.  I have no idea what he does with his golf courses. My point was simply that one of the very few golf courses that was available to Black golfers when (“historically “) such facilities were racially segregated will be getting the Trump treatment, which will — one way or another — result in less available access. Note that I did not say “racially restricted access”.  [/quote]
