Our history still haunts us. The UN Working Group on Persons of African Descent visited the US a few years ago and made it abundantly clear in their report that we are failing miserably to combat systemic racism. The same goes for sexism.

Electing more women and more persons of color has substantial value...for *all* of us, and the future of our species.
