Latasha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, said the president’s possible gesture was admirable, but “we cannot just have symbolic progress.”

President Joe Biden got down on one knee in the East Room during the celebration of the 2021 WNBA champions Seattle Storm, on the eve of the vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act in the House and days before the anniversary of the March on Washington.

While the WNBA has been at the forefront of professional basketball when it comes to issues of social justice and police reform, this is not the first time the president gotten down on one knee with a sports organization. One photo cited by a White House source pointed to a picture with the Los Angeles Dodgers, celebrating their Major League Baseball championship.

Latasha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, said the president’s possible gesture was admirable. However, Brown cautioned “we cannot just have symbolic progress.”

Cliff Albright, co-founder and executive director of Black Voters Matter, said their focus remains on “passing comprehensive police reform on policy and voting rights,” and getting the president to recognize “that the filibuster has metaphorically had a knee on us for a long time.”

The House is poised to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act on Tuesday. South Carolina Congressman and House Majority Whip James Clyburn is expecting the bill to also pass in the Senate despite the filibuster still being in play in that chamber. The filibuster has been the delay tactic in getting voting rights passed in the Senate thus far.

They would get beaten by an avg high school boys team.

You’re a spring chicken! Here, the age of POTUS Trump, with little of his stamina. IOW, “Waiting For GOD” and asking Him
to allow my witness for answers to the ongoing chaos.

Stay strong, FRiend, God Bless.

The virtue signaling and propaganda is as strong as the stench from rotting meat here.

Biden’s just getting in the proper form to “negotiate” with the Taliban.

Adding my Welcome Back remarks to all the rest you’re receiving.

I read where you basically disconnected from the sleazy political scene and took a break.

Well Done. We all need to decompress from time to time.

Biden is scum, absolute scum.

Hope you are doing well :)

Losing elections hurts but it is what it is.

Watching a Successful Coup is another thing.

And that’s what I watched with the antics in all of 2020.

We let them burn down cities, commit violence against folks on our side, and the WORST, we let them make the election one a communist or dictator would be proud of.

But I’ve snapped out of it

almost :)

ROFL!!!

I spent 4 hours at the nursing home with my Aunt Fran today.

She’s 85 pounds, in early dementia...and she asked me to try and find an apartment for her under $1,000 :)

I don’t know which part was crazier. That she thinks she’s ever getting out or that she thinks you can find an apartment for that price in NYC :)

Thanks man.

Like I said in another post, losing sucks but I can deal with it.

It’s successful coups that I have a problem with.

3 plus more years of this guy.

God help us

ROFL!!

I have an email contact on here that would post my demise if it happened.

I think! :)

That’s a great saying :)

this side of the sod

Thanks :)

Yeah they’re crazy

[dp0622]

Hey thanks man :)

People were wondering what happened to you so you had or have a following here. :)

Weird stuff. I assumed Biden was kneeling because there was a child down there. How many of the people in the picture actually play basketball? Why is Biden the only one kneeling? Is everybody in a mask because Biden being almost 80 is considered co-morbid?

I don't see any indication that the photo has any copyright restrictions on it.
