On a special episode of Minority Korner our very own political analyst, Ben Randle, joins us to debrief this historic Democratic National Convention as we swing into the general election. We provide our key takeaways, our highlights, our thoughts on republicans speaking, and who inspired us. Was there behind the scenes Democrat drama- or just something the media made up. We have our calls to action, strategies for moving forward, how to deal with white cynicism, and how to jump into the arena as the stakes couldn't be higher- this could be our endgame.
