Cunningham, who served as a criminal court judge, drew national attention after his estranged brother came forward with allegations that Cunningham was racist and homophobic, and regularly used the N-word.
In an interview with The Dallas Morning News, Cunningham said that he was not a racist, but acknowledged setting up a trust for his children that promised them a provision if they married someone white.
"I strongly support traditional family values, that if you marry a person of the opposite sex, that’s Caucasian, that’s Christian, they will get a distribution,” he said.
