I cannot quickly find the original quote. Was this the full quote from the Detroit Free Press Magazine?

“Nugent told the Detroit Free Press magazine that “apartheid isn’t that cut and dry. All men are not created equal. The preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man. I mean that with no disrespect. I say that with great respect. I love them because I’m one of them. They are still people of the earth, but they are different. They still put bones in their noses, they still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their hands….These are different people. You give ‘em toothpaste, they f—-ing eat it…I hope they don’t become civilized. They’re way ahead of the game.” In the same interview Nugent expounded on his racial views, “I use the word n——r a lot because I hang around with a lot of n——rs, and they use the word n——r, and I tend to use words that communicate….”

When faced with criticism over such comments, Nugent promises, “I don’t mean to offend. I’m a fun guy, not a sexist or a racist.”
