Related: About this forumDon King used N-Word but his statement even more offensive at Trump event at black church (VIDEO)
Don Kings statement at a black church in Cleveland is likely the most condescending statement I have ever heard. It tells black people that they must just accept what is offered and not what they deserve or have earned.
"I told Michael Jackson," Don King said. "I said if you are poor, you are a poor negro. I would use the N-Word. But if you are rich, you are a rich negro. If you are intelligent, an intellectual, you are an intellectual Negro. If you are a dancing and sliding and gliding 'nigg$r'. I mean negro, you are a dancing and sliding and gliding negro. So dear not alienate because you cannot assimilate So you know, you are going to be a negro till you die."
