donald Trump is asking the Black community what they have to lose if they vote for him. I am asking what do you feel you would lose.?

I am not a Trump supporter and don't believe a word he says. He offers no real plans or solutions to change anything. All the time he lived in NYC, with all his billions did he ever build a school or a clinic or do anything to help the inner city?

    Not only did he fail to build clinics or any other institution to help the inner city, he actually (and illegally) denied qualified Black people apartments in his buildings. He actively discriminated against Blacks in his developments. He was investigated and sued by the Justice Department over his unfair practices.

    During the 1990s African American income grew tremendously. By 2000, 56% of African American households had an annual income of $35K or more compared to just 36% in 1969. However due to the recession that number dropped to just 51% by 2014 reversing much of these gains. The most dramatic change during the most recent recession was the percentage of Black households making under $15K (from 19% in 2000 to 24% in 2010) which was well below the poverty line for families.

    Our free trade capitalist system that has led to a record GDP and a higher standard of living for everyone. Our homes(Trump is a big fan of eminent domain, especially in the inner city). Our loose immigration laws which has made america the greatest and most culturally diverse country on earth. Our freedom of speech and of the press( Trump also supports "loosening" libel laws to make it easier to intimidate opponent). And most importantly our rights, since Trump has shown no devotion to freedom and will likely allow the social authoritarians to step all over him.

    Your reasons are sound. But Trump is appealing to many people who aren't meticulous at reasoning.

    No, and he has a history of racial animus starting in the 70s.
