Cornell followed his conscious, after the Democratic Primaries, Stein was the only Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #33

Yup. His conscience told him to help Trump become president. That's my point. DanTex Mar 2019 #38

He said, of Obama, "...the first black president has become the first niggerized black president" George II Mar 2019 #166

It wasn't just Obama, Cornell said the American Nation had become niggerized since 9/11 Uncle Joe Mar 2019 #167
