The real question is, is America's hatred of Black women greater than their fear of an unhinged demagogue? Most Americans know the answer to that question, even if they pretend not to. The issue of Biden's age is a Politics of Aesthetics. Trump is statistically the same age. Trump is also going through tremendous cognitive decline with public statements which are incoherent and significant memory lapses. The moment is significant. A Politics of Aesthetics is a distraction. We must vote to maintain our democracy. If we don't, Project 2025, the Republican goals to repeal nearly all human rights for our diverse country, could ensure our permanent silence.

Is there a reason Biden is not stepping aside to engender the first Black female President of the USA? In the spirit of Ubuntu, is the wider objective or a Democratic government more important than the wishes of an individual?
