Social media freaks out when Don King says the N-word introducing Donald Trump

World renowned boxing promoter Don King received scorn on social media after he made a slip up as he introduced Donald Trump in a predominately black church in Cleveland, Ohio on Wednesday.

But during the introduction, where he used the word “negro” several times, he accidentally uttered the n word.

“If you’re poor, you’re a poor negro,” King recalled telling pop star Michael Jackson, “I would use the N-word.”

“But if you’re rich, you are a rich negro. If you are intelligent, intellectual, you’re an intellectual negro. If you’re a dancing and sliding and gliding n***er – I mean negro – you are dancing and sliding a gliding negro. — You know, you’re gonna be a negro til you die,” he recalled.

Social media went wild after the mistake.

Didn't look or sound unintentional to me. ;-)

From the same brain dead crowd that think endlessly using the N work in “gangster rap” is music.

Trump was in the same room, which means that will be the topic of the first question he will be asked during the debate.

Social media freak out? Not on the black social media, for sure.

A few condemning tweets does not a “social media freakout” make.

These “internet goes wild” headlines are getting real tired.

Yup, and this one comes from a black guy. Just like their normal speech (and “rap”).

If he was on the Dem side, no attention paid.

I often caution: it’s all about liberalism/communism. Nothing else really matters. This is more proof.

Don King’s a very entertaining individual and a great promoter.

His alleged past business practices, however, have always made me a little uneasy.

Does that mean Don King is racist?

Saw a half white ( possibly more ) local N Y. Council person that her problem was not with Don King, but the smirk that appeared on Trumps face. Imagine if Trump had on black shoes

I was watching CNN. So funny. “Don King is not a respected member in the community”.

the important thing is that DTrump is seriously campaigning for black (and Latino) votes......going to their neighborhoods...speaking with, listening to, answering their questions

good for Trump! good for Trump!

And this is all the media has to talk about ???

First of all, it was the Democrats that started this by putting the slaves on the southern plantations, and using their women as their ‘whores’...

Second of all, it was the Democrats that fought when slavery was being gotten rid of and so they started the KKK to keep the slaves on the ‘plantations’...

And in every Democrat Governor State you will see the ‘plantations’ of the slaves that are living in run down housing, if any housing at all, kids in gangs killing each other, don't know who their ‘daddies’ are, and are on government money...

When the Democrats talk their talk, they use words like this, but whites are not suppose to...so my Black American friend and neighbor tells me...we do talk a lot about how things are, and I don't live in a ghetto and neither does she, but the Black Americans that have came out of the ‘plantation’ and made something of themselves and their children and know who their ‘daddies’ are, are not liked by the ‘city plantation’ Black Americans at all...

Just the fact Trump is there is the main thing. Let all the speakers be themselves- Donald and anybody else without a liberal agenda gets it.

yes indeed!
Neither Romney nor McCain reached out to black Americans....
they left all those votes for the Democrats!

blacks especially, and Latins have been ripped off by the D party for far far too long......and many of them realize that the best thing will be to get some jobs back, not just more welfare. And there are millions of black and Latino citizens who are angry as Hell at Obama/Dems for all the racist hatred that Obama/Dems have been stirring up

(and many, many Latinos resent the illegal immigrants too)
Trump can get a lot of black and Latino votes...

Being African-American I thought Don King was ALLOWED to use that word.

I wonder if that person would have an issue with Hillary! having her closest aide (Huma) being the wife of a pedophile - thereby condoning (by association, mind you - just like Trump) pedophilia.

We forget that Don King grew up at a time when the N-word was widely more openly used and so was the word Negro, who some consider derogatory in 2016.
