Richmond casino promoters make racially inflammatory remarks on local radio 

Written by on November 3, 2023

Radio entrepreneur Cathy Hughes may have upended her push to build a casino in Richmond by letting her opinions fly on the radio.

Just days before Richmonders head to the polls to vote a second time on a proposed casino partly owned by Urban One, the media company Hughes founded, casino opponents published a series of audio clips revealing racially inflammatory remarks made by Hughes and other Black casino proponents on local radio programs geared toward Black audiences. 

The clips include numerous examples of Hughes implying that opposition to the casino is driven by racism . . .
