Donald Trump was introduced Wednesday by convicted murderer – and legendary boxing promoter – Don King, who used the N-word in talking up the Republican presidential candidate at a black church in Cleveland.

Just a few hours later, King flew with the real estate mogul aboard Trump’s plane to his rally in Toledo, Ohio, where he introduced GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence.
Trump later thanked and hugged King as he took the stage. He said the system, which he claims is racist and sexist, is the enemy.
King, who is black, said the word as he argued that African-Americans can not achieve success by emulating white people, as they will remain “negroes”. All the time, Trump was sitting right behind him – and grinning.
King also said he thinks Trump will save the nation.
“He’s the only gladiator to take out the system. and create a new system”, King continued.
But after recently taking on the position of another “optimistic” Black face on team Trump, it’s evident that King might want to take a break from the mic for a while. “So we tried that”.
After repeatedly saying the word “negro”, King slipped, “If you’re a dancing and sliding and gliding n****r”, King said before correcting himself and again using the word “negro”. “I was speaking to Michael Jackson, but I was speaking in the vernacular we’d use on the street, and I slipped”. But if you rich, you are a rich negro. “You’re going to be a negro ’til you die”. “If you are a dancing and sliding and gliding n***** – I mean negro – you are a dancing and sliding and gliding negro”, King said, laughing along with the crowd after the slip-up.

“So dare not alienate because you can not assimilate”.
