I know the discussions I've had with other black women - it's where we are at?

Example - my county Facebook Group of Black women - we have a meet up this Saturday.

We are going to identify and perform outreach to the "Have Not" Black families in our community to make sure they don't fall through the cracks. We are one of the wealthiest counties in America - and wealth disparities are glaring.

We are also an extreme minority out here. Our Magat County Party was handing out "This Is Trump Country" signs this year.

How is that divisive? How is taking care of folks like me divisive when I'm surrounded my a bunch of cold stone bigots?
