"Don King introduced GOP nominee Donald Trump at an event with African-American pastors
Wednesday, when the octogenarian ex-boxing promoter accidentally dropped the N-word.
King, 85, was introducing Trump with remarks in which it appeared he was trying to explain the nature of discrimination in the U.S., when he made the unfortunate gaffe.
"America needs Donald Trump, we need Donald Trump … especially black people," King, who is supporting Trump's presidential bid, said at the Cleveland Heights church where the mogul was set to speak.
"They told me, you got to try to imitate and emulate the white man and then you can be successful so we tried that," King continued, before trying to explain how racism has plagued African-American community.
"If you're poor, you're a poor negro. I would use the N-word. But if you're rich, you're a rich negro," King said. "If you're intelligent and intellectual, you're an intellectual negro." msn
