Disclaimer: Mr. Jason Gastrich loves people of all races and colors.  The phrase about Bustamante disliking blacks came from a speech he gave.

On February 9, 2001, during a Black History Month speech before 400 members of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Bustamante casually referred to an African-American labor organization as the “Nigger” labor organization; using the evil “N” word and continuing obliviously with his speech for another 10 minutes while 100 outraged listeners rose and left the room. 

Due to his so-called "slip," he apologized.  Some people rejected his apology, though.  “You don’t make a slip like that,” said audience member Gwendalyn Bello, “unless it is something you say normally."
