What will you do when Biden is President?

I believe bigotry is the biggest chronic problem in the US -- and the Democratic Party is a major purveyor of it.

You are so, so, so right.

I was astounded when one of the most prominent leaders in the world announced that he would nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court.

I think where that comes from is that Joe Biden doesn't actually believe there is any structural racism in the US, so any observed inequalities cannot be fixed by addressing structural racism because it doesn't exist... but he does know he needs the black vote, so the best he can do is say: ok, we'll get a darkie up here and she'll fix your shit.

This is not optimal, but ít's better than nothing.
What he's really saying is: he'll nominate Kamala Harris. I don't think he can legally promise positions as the nominee.

I'd say you're right. The reason he said that is probably to pander to voters who hold some racist (and sexist) ideals.
