By "he" you mean the casino manager of that time, not Trump I suppose. But yea seems it was in this order.
I'm going by whatever that story is, whether it's trump or someone else doesn't really matter in this context. It's just Xav is completely delusional about what consist of protecting black employees...

According to Jay Leno, you don’t get to say no to mobsters. Looking at that scenario from atop a moral high horse is just too much privilege for my tastes; from the ground, it looks like giving select employees the day off was a sound and rational decision.

Sound and rational, yes. Also extraordinarily disrespectful.
Giving your employees the option to take a (paid) day off instead of mandating it would have been an equally sound and rational decision. In the case cited, it also would have saved the business from a $200,000 fine, most likely.
We don't know the complete story, but there are always creative solutions to unexpected problems. If you are going to do business with the mob, then you better learn to get creative, and do it yesterday.

Yeah, some random floor manager should go out of his way to piss off a murderous psychopath, instead of discretely protecting their employee. Good thinking.
It is really true that the average liberal is entirely out of touch with reality.

Here's another example or liberals out of touch with reality.

Mob boss walks into your business with some associates and six bodyguards. Two of the guards have one hand inside a suit jacket, and you know (from others) they have their hands on an Uzi or other fully automatic machine gun.
Feel free to get creative? Or be very predictable?

You can move the goalposts as far back as you want.
It doesn't change the fact that situations in which treating others with respect has been made impossible for you by circumstances are extraordinarily, astronomically rare, no matter how hard people will bend over backwards trying to convince you otherwise (also known as an "excuse").
And though my previous post, which you quoted, was kind of off-topic, this post is decidedly not.

Keep calling them out Dr. Trump.
 GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Seems like a pretty open-shut case to me. He could have made a stand against racism, like any man with honor would have and told that racist mobster to get the hell out. Put him on the ban list, alongside other racists. Trump seems to like those Whitey Bulger types. And judging by the way he's running the country, that's effectively what he is. A racist mobster, a brute, a thug.
