If he said it there should be a link.

FWIW, I don't doubt it is true, if he didn't say it out loud he probably thought it!

It’s humorous on many levels. And not outrageous from his point of view. He’s the one who said that various African-American pop stars”worked for him” when he ran those casinos.

Many years ago on this forum, I used two jokes that I borrowed from Abbie Hoffman. Some discussion that I no longer remember reminded me of a couple things he had said when we were hanging out in the 1980s about Reagan's attitude towards black Americans. A few people thought I was serious. Yikes! So while I have retired those jokes from internet use, I do appreciate this OP.
