He continued to attack the couple, saying, “There is a silver lining — interracial marriage has a very high divorce rate. So here's some advice — dump some weight, including that brain dead n***a hubby of yours. Get a brain yourself and marry a good white man and have a dozen beautiful white children instead of any ugly [kids]...with your...husband.”
