Don King Uses Racial Epithet in Introducing Donald Trump

[brooklynite]

Source: Thew New York Times

candidate with historically low support from blacks and a lack of ease with religion decided to turn over a church pulpit to a felon with no political experience.

What could go wrong?

A lot, it turned out.

Don King, the boxing promoter handpicked by Mr. Trump to introduce him at a meeting of black pastors on Wednesday in Ohio, let loose a racial epithet in a bizarre, freewheeling speech as the grinning Republican presidential nominee looked on just a few feet away.

Who, besides Trump, imagined that King was the optimal gateway to African-American voters?

1. But it's ok because he's black

and all those black rappers say the word too.

That's what the Trumpers defense will be.

3. Trump is using a lot of people who can be bought off

A few thousand dollars goes a long way with the crooks Trump is surrounding himself with.

5. Absolutely right, Democat

I have thought the same thing, occasionally actually feeling sorry for some of his spokespeople for having to peddle that crap, but then I think that I would be charging a lot more than they are to sell my soul.

4. No accident. Trump would love to get that word into the campaign.

Just read it and was about to post it.

A convicted felon drops the n-word in a church and Trump just sits there smiling.
When he saves "tired of political correctness" this is what he means and his supporters know it.

Another point. Of all the people Don King could mention when trying to point out status of blacks due only to their talent or fame and its Michael Jackson? He's never had that conversation with anyone we haven't heard of (that white people have determined to be okay)?

[George II]

6. Nice. A convicted murderer (reduced to manslaughter by a judge) is all he could come up with?

13. Actually, Cleveland is naming the street after him

The street where he killed the man is going to be named Don King Way.

7. Don King is still alive????

Who knew
Where is tRump pulling these has-beens from...Baio, King, Nugent...I'll take 'irrelevant assholes' for $200 Alex.

10. "Don King is still alive????"

His hair isn't.

Much in common with Trump.

8. "handpicked by Mr. Trump" - Did Don King earn his money?

Wonder if Trump will cheat him out of his pay like he has already done to hard-working Americans?

9. Let us hope that the media hounds Trump over this

and further alienates (what's beyond alienation anyway?) the AA voters. Heck maybe it will alienate some us non AA voters as well (I for one find that kind of talk high offensive).

11. Imhop King is grifter as well

12. Coincidence Don King and Trump have the same first name?

I think not. The black Trump.
