Donald Trump, black people have everything to lose if they vote for you

You asked the question.

And, though I imagine it was nothing more than a rhetorical question, it is still a question that, given the subject matter, deserves an answer.

What the hell do you have to lose?"

Well, here goes, in no particular order:

No. 1: My dignity.

No. 2: My self-respect.

Besides getting some of the statistics wrong, and painting us with a brush as broad as the Northeast Corridor, you imply there is no greater hell for blacks than what exists today.

That, of course, is insulting to every African-American homeowner, entrepreneur, college graduate and any other black person who has ever achieved anything worth celebrating.
