208. Biden out and endorses Kamala. Will Dr. King be right about White moderates and liberals?

The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo

Dr. King said that White moderates (I'll add liberals) often tell Black people to wait for freedom; that they believe in freedom on an installment plan. This is how I see what has been happening with democratic politicians who said President Biden should drop out but wouldn't openly endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. It would be a tragic error if the Democratic Party did not fully embrace Harris. It would just be the latest example that King was right.
