This is a Dive media special presentation. This is the 1st part of a round table discussion between the hosts of all the Dive Media podcasts (Across The Intersection, House 2 House, She Works!, About This Love, & H.B.C.U.). We all came together to discuss the recent video regarding police brutality. We then went into the deeper discussion on the presence of racism (both current and historic) and we did our best to present a higher perspective. We did not look to offend anyone nor present only 1 specific view point. But to discuss this issue thoroughly, even the more uncomfortable parts.

The crew discusses the concept of leaders 'assuming the sale' when addressing people they know living to themselves. In TWITN they discuss the recent mini-series about the life of Madame CJ Walker. And how certain narratives we clearly 'forced' into the story. As always check us out at http://divemedia.co And you can support us at http://patreon.com/divemedia1
