Mr. Clean, the self-appointed New Messiah of Unity and Harmony, has been badly sullied by the controversy surrounding his long association with the pastor of his church, who on numerous occasions, has said some very disparaging things about white people those same folks, who to a large extent, are responsible for many of his primary victories.
