Lived on Return Lane from 1961-1967. Loved it! Could walk just about anywhere in Levittown from where we lived. Remember going to Newtown for the premier of “Mary Poppins”. Went to Goodnoes for ice cream afterwards.
Norma McManus Dont wanna bash an old lady for taking pride in where she lived... But how happy did it make you feel to be segregated from black people?
I would say that nobody there had any issues being separated from black people. As a matter of fact I think they very much liked it. Those were the days when your front door had no deadbolt and nobody locked their door at all. People didn’t have any damn cameras on the front of their house watching every fricken thing on the road and watching every time someone came to their house. Oh wait nobody goes to anyone’s house anymore anyways. So to answer your question I would have loved to live back then with everything that came with it.
He knows, that is the problem. i believe he is very knowledgeable of history. So much that he tries to replicate it. He did the same thing with his apartment, he refused to rent to black people. His pic with the bible, similar to a Hitler pic, wanted to have a rally in OK on 7/19 and he is accepting the RNC nomination on 8/27 the date mof a KKK massacre. He knows exactly what he os doing. When ask he will say, oh well, I didn't know. Remember in his book he says,he does not mind lying if it gives him what he wants.
@@davisonthomas4697 I am very surprised he even did a video deposition for congress about the January 6 attack. I'm sure he lied all the way through it though.
@@davisonthomas4697 In his opinion he doesnt want to ruin his projects. Now that might sound crazy. But he told a story about a peer of his a billionaire from the lefrak family, who started letting low income families into his complex in queens , NY. They turned the neighborhood into wild wild west. Its pratically a notorius housing project.
different one. There was one in Bowie, where little miss "I got maced" got busted. It's called Levittown @ Belair IN Bowie, MD, right near Old Bowie, where Bowie State college is. She's not from Knoxville! I knew she was lying when she said it. They gave it up for a MICRO-PEEN!
Living in Levittown, Long Island from January 3, 1974 thru July 3, 1984 was one of the places to live, everything that President Donald J. Trump said is all true and all facts, P.S. When I was seven years old, I met William Levitt in person at East Broadway School and was a great man and William Levitt was a true genius as well!!
Like hearing this from President Trump… I didn’t know anything about this Levittown, as far as this Mr. Levitt and his building these very large subdivisions or whatever you want to call them!!! I am from the Philadelphia area, the suburbs, and was aware of Levittown, PA! But because of U-tube learned about Levitt town on Long Island!! Didn’t even know existed before! Nor wasn’t aware of all Levite’s houses in subdivisions in Levittown PA either! Of course Donald Trump would be aware of Leavitt the builder, his being in real estate also! Forgive the misspellings!!
Kathy Bell To see it any other way is at the expense of rational thought. This is why minorities aren’t able to have serious rational progress. Some have even turned progressive into a negative...you continue to be dishonest by framing history to your benefit: the man had the power and used it to disenfranchise minorities and promoted segregation for the sake of blocking economic advancement and wealth building. It’s ridiculous to honor his business savvy with was nothing more then a instrument for oppression.
I thought it was a real Allentown. I'm from MD's Levittown and that was built on our ancestral tobacco lands! I just found the genealogy where we founded the east coast, went out west and then .... ARRRG!
St Pierre for Jesus the Savior not at the expense of rational thought. This is why minorities aren’t able to have serious rational progress.

Not sure if his people just didn’t tel him, if he is literally that clueless or he really is racist, I’m not sure anymore. This man picks the one dude who pretty much represents red lining in America. Levittown NY wouldn’t allow black folks to move there, refused to give GIs loans for homes there. This dude wouldn’t event build a home NEAR a black neighborhood, Responsible for literally building physical walls to separate the neighborhoods, oh wait, never-mind, makes perfect sense now, I see why you would praise him, proceed sir.
Yes God bless America and Mr levitt! Kept us black people suppressed for many years! And kept all of us out for many years! Wonderful man! Wonderful speech saying what a great guy he was ! Me and our people can't wait for 2024 we will be out in droves for the 24% vote! Wonderful speech.
The best POTUS ever for talking about a fascist businessman who set the standard for segregated and discriminatory housing in America? That says a lot about you.
Ummmm, you should study Levittown before you say that. I’m a little blown away that this is the guy he chose of all people. It’s like saying how much the dictator in North Korea always puts North Korea first, or how committed to Germany the Nazi party was.
It’s a little strange that he would pick this builder, who built houses black folks were not allowed to move into, and how FHA was complicit, actually help to dictate the policy. Yea, you should study a little more before you say that.
Dang just when I was really losing hope with this guy he goes and absolutely hits it out of the park. I predict more than one boy in that audience becomes a millionaire because he will reflect on that speech somewhere down the road in life . Wow what a great one.
Yes very great speech about Mr levitt and how he suppressed on keeping Levittown all white! If you've noticed in the last 4 years us 24% crowd changed that, and mostly because of these great speech makers! They just think they can say what ever they want and get away with it! Not this time around...
