Wait, what? Jill Biden tried to change a two hundred year old tradition of inviting only winners to the White House and not losers? Isn’t that like symbolic or something? I mean, when the two hundred year old white tradition in Tennessee was broken of expelling black representatives Justin and Justin for them breaching the tradition of white “decorum”, only recognizing the winners and disenfranchising the “losers” that was wrong? After some reflection on this issue, it may not have been bad to invite “both sides”. Recognizing the game and how it’s fairly played is better than recognizing only winners. Destroy these traditions and rules that recognize fairness of play. The winner recognition mentality is a tradition based on a autocratic warlike mentality that “There can be only one.” In America, over two hundred years of white male rule, finally Martin Luther King and other Civil Rights leaders were awarded for their struggle, the recognition of their dignified play not over who wins the fight. If Malcolm, Medgar Evers, MLK, Fannie Lou, and all won the “fight” for civil rights, why is a supermajority of whites still overturning the elections results in majority black voting districts like in Tennessee, the Houston school district taken over by the State of Texas governor, the Florida prosecutor fairly elected fired by DeSantis, the elected black judges in Jackson Mississippi being overthrown by the controlling white GOP legislature who are replacing them with specially directly appointed judges — and that’s just the last six months of insurrection. The winner take all mentality is a problem that’s invade the American mindset.

I’m not saying Jill is right through her spontaneous offer, she was just a superfan with power, and understand Angel’s anger at feeling like her full recognition is being diminished by a white lady who wants to recognize white state Iowa. Her anger is historically justified. But, I’m just saying we might be able to recognize the struggle, the even playing field, that created the “winners” and “losers”. It was Title 9 of the civil rights act that John Lewis and Martin King fought for that created this equal opportunity for women in sports in general that created this acknowledged long fought for “victory”.
I’ll be processing this controversy for a while, as it is not a shallow debate as it may appear at first glance, and an apology won’t solve it, only real recognition can, which means maybe we have to change tradition to do that. We are still a long way from practicing on a level playing field, as the angry white ousters of Justin Jones and Justin Pearson showed us. Their loss was out gain, and underlined the struggle isn’t over and the “losers” in the struggle are sometimes the victors of inspiration for those looking to level the playing field of opportunity for all.
Thanks for opening this debate though and writing on it.
