On July 11, Georgia state Rep. Mesha Mainor announced that she had left the Democrat Party to become a Republican, telling social media, “I will NEVER apologize for being a black woman with a mind of my own.” Since then, the former Democrat has shared some of the utterly hate-filled racist emails sent to her by members of her former party. Trust me when I say some of these messages are very graphic and difficult to read. Instead of flying off the handle, Mainor responded in a manner that can only be described as class.
