I have been avoiding business’s and charities that have anything to do with Mr. Neutral or his charming ball and chain period. So I do like it when they highlight the players in Mr. Nuetrals plans I just add them to my loooooooooooong list.
And why is only for black people?

Can't believe anyone other than those who think he is Jesus would believe a word of this statement. The Slimes used to be more subtle with its lies and misinformation.
