I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll sit at the table
When company comes.
…
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed,-
I, too, am America.
— Langston Hughes

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media
“Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”
You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.
