KEY BLOCK----- CONGRATULATIONS! Any win for Secretary Clinton is a win for every inhabitant of this country because her sincerity is authentic. Her competent leadership will take us forward. Through my tears I type. How very proud am I of her! As well, instead of her detractors chiding her for earning an honest living (e.g., speaking fees) they should be focusing on the fact that her pay likely was not as high as it should have been, citing gender pay inequity.

This is a superb presidential campaign for former Secretary of State Clinton.  Unparalleled are her qualifications, her courage, and her proven track record of success in public service. I supported her candidacy in 2007-2008 and will support her candidacy again in 2015-2016, though my budget then and now is quite humble and meager. Over the coming months, I plan to volunteer in the 20020 and 27101 zip codes. What prompted my communication with you is the unfortunate reality that debate moderators as well as media representatives instigate a false duality, "Do Black lives or do All lives matter?" Please consider incorporating the following when addressing this phenomenon. BECAUSE all lives matter, Black lives matter too. Undeniably slavery, the promulgation of Jim Crow laws, and systematic institutionalized racism and discrimination in the criminal justice system, prison industrial complex, housing, education, healthcare, financing, and employment have afflicted Black lives. Through that adversity, cohorts of Black Americans have managed to establish businesses, healthy families and communities. Each day they exercise their freedom and independence as productive citizens in this country. Candidate Clinton's platform to address existing race-based disparities is worthy of note and feasible, with everyone doing his or her part to empower themselves and each other. In addition to staying abreast of issues through media outlets such as Black Enterprise, The Root, Good Black News (GBN), and Black Electorate, here are three supplemental articles to which individuals may refer: *part 3 in a 5 part series on building wealth (http://www.theroot.com/photos/2014/04/_10_affluent_black_neighborhoods.html); *an assessment of coordinating efforts to preserve and build infrastructure (http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/01/20/communities-recession-harlem-cleveland-chicago/1808587/); and *a comparison of socio-economic status by geographical region (http://www.forbes.com/sites/joelkotkin/2015/01/15/the-cities-where-african-americans-are-doing-the-best-economically/).  Concurrently, here is a hallmark interview via Bloomberg-Hayes Advantage that shares empirical data and delineates how social and cultural cohesion among Black Americans must too increase in order to fortify economic and political empowerment (http://media.bloomberg.com/bb/avfile/Economics/On_Economy/vER.jo_qZ_Uo.mp3). Regarding a matter of less importance, I wonder if you deem Mr. Trump's thanking Former President  Clinton worthy of a retort. For example, if it is not considered too raw and/or inappropriate, ask Mr. Clinton to make a personal sacrifice for the collective benefit of the campaign via undertaking what could be an unpleasant task. He could apologize for assuming his complimentary remarks would not be misconstrued or simply state, with innuendo (smile), "Don, I didn't mean to lead you on."
