Maxine Waters dubs the word ‘rioting’ as ‘negative language…against black people’
Sorry, Maxine, but we're going to call this exactly what it is: Riots.

In a new interview this week, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) suggested that using the word “rioting” to describe violent protests is offensive and racist, claiming that it is “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 told The Cut about her “longtime fight over the language of insurrection and unrest versus rioting,” adding that the chaos we are currently living in has caused 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.

Someone posted a pic of a photo-op Mad Maxine had with Antifa reps. 

And anyone is surprised?  She's probably funding the rioting and looting.

Dear Maxine: tell your (black and white) brothers and sisters to stop rioting, and then we won't refer to them as rioters.

FTA, Mad Maxine sez:

Waters told The Cut about her “longtime fight over the language of insurrection and unrest versus rioting...”

She said, "Insurrection?"  It's nice of her to admit that's what's going on, and the President is correct to consider it so.

What Waters is doing is confirming that violence is part of the black character.  The idiocy of her rhetoric will result in nothing good. 

The simple fact remains that as long as black on white or black on Hispanic crime is as high as it is, blacks will remain suspect by law abiding people.  Black on white violent crime is 10:1.  With that ratio, there is no trust.  Waters and ilk like her can crow until pigs fly, and their empty rhetoric will result in nothing of substance.
