An economy in which most citizens are doing worse year after year - an economy like America's - is not likely to do well over the long haul.

I think Donald Trump has put America in great danger, and I think he's done a disservice to us even if he doesn't win. I think his effect is going to be kind of lasting.
I can't see America any other way than with a European's eyes. It fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time.
Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here.

As America prepared for war in 1941, discrimination largely shut black Americans out of job opportunities in the growing defense industry.
The thing about being in America is when you are driving with the sun on your back, there's hip hop. I never used to be into hip hop, but there's hip hop in the food, soul food, there's hip hop in the cars.
