I asked myself, 'How are you going to change all these people, they have different values, different customs, different language, different interpretations?' So thatโs the time I joined the Ku Klux Klan in Miami. The reason I joined is to see if I could change them. So I dissolved that organization in a month-and-a-half, alone. [Applause] Then I joined the White Citizen Council. The WCC hates foreigners โ all foreigners. So I joined that organization; I dissolved it in one month.

Lacking a true sense of self worth, many live to impress others.
