CLEVELAND — Boxing promoter Don King urged his fellow African-Americans to support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in a speech delivered in his infamous, inimitable style on Wednesday. King’s remarks included a seemingly inadvertent use of the N word.
“The spirit is loud and clear that we will create a whole new system. We will take this system apart, and we will make America great again,” King said, referencing Trump’s campaign slogan.
King’s speech served as Trump’s introduction at a meeting organized by Pastor Darrell Scott. The meeting was held at Scott’s church, the New Spirit Revival Center, in King’s hometown of Cleveland. It was also attended by other clergy members.
Speaking for more than 10 minutes, King largely focused on the idea that Trump would take down “the system.”
“This is a coming of a man who has taken on a system, a system that is awesome and ingeniously put together, a system of control,” King said. “The mindset, the behavior, the attitudes, the institutions, the law. And then, they have the judges and the courts that uphold the law that makes right wrong and wrong right.”
