Boxing promoter Don King, a strong Donald Trump supporter, used the “N” word at a Trump event while introducing Donald Trump to the audience.
In the midst of Trump’s so-called “outreach” to black people, King, whose only job was to introduce the Republican presidential nominee to the mostly black church audience, used the opportunity to share part of a conversation he claimed he had with Michael Jackson, dropping the N word along the way.
“I told Michael Jackson, I said if you’re poor, you’re a poor Negro– I won’t use the n-word,” he recounted. “But if you’re rich, you’re a rich Negro. If you’re intelligent and intellectual, you’re an intelligent and intellectual Negro.”
“If you’re a dancing and sliding and gliding n*gger– I mean negro,” he corrected, as Trump and the rest of the room erupted in laughter, “you’re a dancing and sliding and gliding Negro.”
“So they’re not alienatin’, because you can not assimilate,” he said. “You’re going to be a Negro until you die.”
Trump thanked King as he took the stage. “Ah, there’s only one Don King, only one Don,” he said.
