Personal Quote:

I don't apologize to people who try to intimidate. I don't apologize to people with an agenda. I never apologize for the truth. And the truth here is that racists come in many different colors. Texas is my country, truth is my religion - and fuck 'em, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. See more »
