Controversial boxing promoter Don King has taken his talents to the Trump/Pence campaign, introducing the Republican presidential ticket at an outreach event in an OH church – where he promptly made waves by dropping the “N-bomb”.

Bloomberg first reported King was joining Team Trump on an OH campaign swing starting Wednesday morning.
“King said he once told Jackson that, as a black person in America, “‘if you’re poor, you’re a poor Negro.
While King was going on, Trump held a straight face until heard the N-word, to which he let out a smirk for the remainder of Don’s “flattering” introduction.
While he’s no longer promoting boxers, Don King is still a champion of the bloodthirsty and brain-damaged, and he doubled down on his commitment today by taking the stage in Cleveland to endorse Trump’s bid for the White House.
King’s case for Trump boils down to him thinking it’s important “to knock the system”.
He made his statement in response to an audience member’s question about what the NY businessman would do to reduce crime in predominantly black communities across the nation, said the two people, Geoff Betts and Connie Tucker.
But Trump himself appears to be struggling to stick to his non-racist talking points.
Betts, a distributor of hair products, said he is registered to vote as an independent and that he attended the town hall because he was curious about what Trump would say to try to win over black voters.
Veteran boxing promoter Don King has joined Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on an OH campaign swing Wednesday. “Not Donald Trump the man, but to knock out the system to help him and get their rights”.
Trump reacted to both police shootings that made headlines over the past 48 hours, first the shooting and killing of a black motorist with his hands up at the hands of Tulsa police.
Current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat who supports Clinton, slammed Trump’s call for more stop-and-frisk as “appalling”.
“I understand very well that after more than three centuries of being taught, conditioned and indoctrinated to hate the black man as your inferior, it is unrealistic to think that now you can just change to respect him”, he wrote. We did it in NY; it worked incredibly well.
Then he added, “If you are dancing and sliding and gliding n–, I mean negro, you are dancing and gliding and sliding negro”. King wanted to speak at the Republican National Convention in July. Terence Crutcher. Too many others.
Earlier, Mr Trump stepped up his rhetoric on the state of America’s minority communities, telling a crowd that “places like Afghanistan are safer” than some U.S. inner cities.

“Our next president is going to inherit a hell of a lot of problems and it is going to take a problem-solver to get us back where we want to be and where we should be”, he said. Even if you’re speaking for Donald Trump, as a black man, represent yourself better.
