Maxine Waters Classifies Term ‘Rioting’ as ‘Negative Language … Used Against Black People’

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), in an interview published Wednesday, explained why she rejects the term “rioting” in describing violent protests, contending that the word is part of “negative language used far too often in a description of black people by folks who fundamentally don’t see black people the same way they see whites and others.”

Waters spoke to The Cut about her “longtime fight over the language of insurrection and unrest versus rioting” and told the outlet that the unrest in recent days brought her to reflect 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” years ago.

Again she conveniently forgets or dispenses with over 300 years of North American history.

A riot has a lawful and time honored definition. Do the things that fit the definition of rioting and what you're doing is rioting. Pretty simple. Own it or stop it.

Maxine talks a big game and is a blow hard but would be nothing without ignorant constituents that she has bamboozled over the years. She is a hypocrite and couldn't care less about black people who are merely a convenient tool to enable her to run her big mouth.

Northwest Woodsman: Mad Max gets my vote for the most stupid and repulsive politician on the planet. Someone please tell me what form of coercion or bribery she engages in to get stupid, ignorant people to continually vote her into office.
