I especially appreciated hearing the President [Barack Obama] affirm that "black lives matter" and that it means that some citizens are feeling more pain, and experiencing more negative effects than others, and he offered up the stats.

I am not afraid of anything. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because I am excited and enthusiastic.
