The Black Magic Mask (2023)2016 election cycle took its latest bizarre turn Wednesday when boxing promoter Don King dropped the N-word while introducing Donald Trump at an event in the battleground state of Ohio.

King said he once told Jackson that, as a black person in America, "'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. If you are intelligent, intellectual, you're an intellectual Negro. If you're a dancing and sliding and gliding n*****, I mean Negro, you are a dancing and sliding and gliding Negro.'"
King laughed after he accidentally dropped the most loaded word in American history. Seated behind King, Trump smiled as well.

Even before King's unforced error, Trump's campaign has already been packed with racial controversy.
He was slated to hold a "town hall meeting on African American concerns" at the Cleveland church -- but the broader conference was hosted by Sean Hannity, a white Fox News personality who has already said he plans to vote for Trump.
The day before, Trump said "African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they've ever been in before. Ever. Ever. Ever." That comment reportedly drew applause from a mostly white audience. But it was widely criticized because 400 years of chattel slavery, the Jim Crow era and history in general.
Donald Trump Jr., meanwhile, has a long history of flirting with the white supremacist movement online. The latest instance of this came Monday, when he posted a specious meme comparing Syrian refugees to Skittles.
