  1. You are paving the way for so many other people. God bless you and your mom.

    1. @DeathCrunch and no, my piercing is Aztec in origin. I’ve stretched my septum. You see, there are some of us who still express and embrace our culture. I completely understand how hard it must be for someone of your limited brain function to grasp the concept. Have a nice day ma’am.

    2. @masterlogray You hate women, we get it. I’m not sure even why you’ve projected that I’m a women other that that you’re an incel, hate women and that you don’t agree with an option of mine.
      Also, noone asked and noone cares that you’re LARPing as as a culture none of your family have has ties with for 700 years. You want an award for cultural appropriation?

    3. @DeathCrunch the fact that you gathered “I hate women” from any of that is mind blowing. I thought you were a woman because of your extremely feminine profile picture and the way you speak. Are you okay? Do you need to speak with someone? There are tons of online thereapists that can help and assist you. Incel…… wow… haven’t heard that word since reddit made it popular about 6 years ago. You are truly a gem.

    4. @masterlogray The octopus with handguns was feminine to you, uhh, sure. Of things to meaninglessly gender I think you’re beyond help. We all know what you’re trying to do saying I speak femininely, whether it’s inherently homophobic, mysoginistic or both is the real question.
      Reddit made it big, did it? That an interesting fact. It’s wrong, but mansplain it more for everyone that didn’t ask.

    5. @DeathCrunch mansplain hahaha. You sound very upset. It’s okay. Sometimes when people make fools of themselves on the internet like you did you tend to get Uber defensive and start lashing out and pointing the finger. Take a nap.

  2. That’s a very inspiring story how they came from nothing and now have the dream of there own business and makingthere way . God bless 🙌 🙏

  3. Eso es todo carnal 🙏🏽🇲🇽 that’s us and our cultura 💪🏽

  8. God bless this man and all the other men and women who are on the flow of showing not only themselves but the whole country that anything is possible
