A conversation with RepMaxineWaters on the history of protest, the language of insurrection, and the 'unbelievably racist' rhetoric that Donald Trump has used

Photo: Aaron P. Bernstein/Getty Images In 1979, Maxine Waters was serving her first term as a California state assemblywoman from Los Angeles when one of her constituents, a 39-year-old widow named Eula Love, was shot eight times and killed in her own front yard after a dispute with police over a $22 gas bill.

Maxine Waters: I’ve been reflecting on what was going on back in the day, when I was confronting Daryl Gates, starting when the police shot Eula Love, which brought me in contact with the police commission and brought me to taking a look at what was going on with police community relations. Take a look at one of the quotes from Daryl Gates on choke holds.

MW: I had a long talk with my grandson who is very politically aware and pays attention even though he’s in the entertainment industry, about what’s different [about this moment].

MW: Look, the criminal-justice system has never really worked for black people. It’s not designed to work for black people. For the most part, police officers have been majority white and juries have been majority white, and it’s just in the past ten years that we’re starting to see black people who are judges and attorneys general and higher up within a criminal-justice system. So we have always had to struggle in a criminal-justice system.

RT: I thought of him when you were talking about Daryl Gates line about “blacks” versus “normal people,” and his statement this weekend that his supporters “love the black people,” that made so explicit that he sees black Americans as wholly distinct from his base, and his vision of “making America great again.” It’s an acknowledgment that he doesn’t see African-Americans as part of the whole of the nation he leads.

RepMaxineWaters Racist Maxine Waters regards White people the same way she accuses White folks of regarding Blacks. She is a race baiter, pure and simple. Trouble is, she not pure but, she's a baiter. A disgraceful, hate filled woman.

RepMaxineWaters Mother Maxine how could folks see us as equal when in the constitution it has never been amended 3/5of a person? We need to start there.

RepMaxineWaters Don’t call it rioting? So when blacks are destroying businesses and looting the stores what should it be called?

RepMaxineWaters Have you heard rap music?

RepMaxineWaters It's such a part of the picture that people of color think it about themselves....espouse it in our speech! By the way why do we refer to ourselves as 'black?' Might be a good place to start!🤔

RepMaxineWaters Let's talk about all the negative language coming from black people against the democratic Plantation that you're running

RepMaxineWaters Says the woman that has not done a damn thing for her district which has been violent, poverty stricken, uneducated for the last 30 years. Again, who’s at fault? 💙🖤💙

RepMaxineWaters The only people I see rioting are police. Trump wants Law & Order? Great. When the cops start acting that way, then we will see

RepMaxineWaters Younare a disgusting mean liar.

lollybowean RepMaxineWaters Black tangible actions not words are needed from Representative Waters and that applies to the rest of the CBC. The quote, well that's obvious to anyone with common sense.

RepMaxineWaters St*u. Strealing a TV has nothing to do with Floyd's death. And this professional propagandist lives in a big expensive house and enjoys governmental security. She doesn't give a s*** about the small businesses destroyed by rioting. Literally. ST*U. Pathetic white pandering.

RepMaxineWaters Yes, i love this & it is REALLY important!

RepMaxineWaters

RepMaxineWaters Fu

RepMaxineWaters Ms. Harris needs to take notes if she wants to be VP candidate that we Americans will stand behind.

RepMaxineWaters Maxine is so honest, I get goosebumps.

RepMaxineWaters Now protestors say they won't leave the streets until officers behind bars. Democrat cities, don't expect your city to exist, it could take up to a year before a trial. P.S. I WILL NEVER KNEEL TO PROTESTORS FOR ANY CAUSE. ProtestsDestroyingCities

RepMaxineWaters There’s a few things to consider here: 1-The veil is lifted- you see clearly, 2: maybe Americans of color should have our own constitution- there wasn’t one black man in the room in 1776? So let’s start with our own constitution

RepMaxineWaters

RepMaxineWaters Most young kids don’t graduate from high school, poverty is through the roof and hating the cops is taught from birth. If RepMaxineWaters cared about anybody of color, she would resign because she has FAILED them for decades. 💙🖤💙

Audio: In 'Unhinged' Call, Trump Tells 'Weak' Governors to 'Dominate' Protesters“You’ve got a big National Guard out there that’s ready to come in and fight like hell,” the president told governors during a video teleconference Does no one else find it hilarious that we’re at the point that media is angry that trump asked governors to stop people from burning down buildings and businesses and beating innocent people up? He’s the enemy for asking governors to stop that. Hilarious. Here’s a guy who considers himself macho by tweeting and bullying. He could have offered empathetic words to unite in a time of crisis but seems bent on violence and civil strife. The scum of humanity Enough with the propaganda from the narcissistic sociopath!
