This is just more of the same. Reverend Wright, Obama's spiritual advisor and pastor of his "hate whitey" church for 20+ years, Obama's selection of a "kill whitey" artist for his official Smithsonian Presidential Portrait, and Obama's buddy Louis Farrakhan just recently uttering: "White folks are going down. And Satan is going down."

You can't just ignore the common "hate/kill whitey" expressed theme amongst all of them. There's a race war bubbling to the surface, for sure, but the hatred is not coming from whites.
quote from jake tapper after covering that louie Farrakhan speech:

"The difference between Farrakhan and some members of the alt-reich whose heinous bigotry has received a lot of attention this past year: Farrakhan has a much larger following and elected officials meet with him openly. "

Or course she can. But she is promising Reparations IF Democrats are voted back into power. i.e. Free money.

This instead of promising what they will do to improve the Job situation & Crime situation in the very district that she represents but refuses to live in herself.

I think its funny you all are paying so much attention to Maxine Waters. She must really scare you. FWIW she is an interesting character of a politician but not someone who is paid much attention to nationally by black Americans, which is why it is funny you all are paying her so much attention. I hope you keep following her like you do. You're making her more popular than you realize.

Amazing, not. More white people on public assistance than anyone else.

The speaking event in the video didn't look like "someone who is not paid much attention to nationally by black Americans."

And she wins re-election every time.

If that was not true we'd have bigger problems than we thought huh, since most of the US is white.

Just analyzing Food Stamps usage, though, the other forms of public assistance have similar statistics...

Percent of adults in each group who have ever received Food Stamps:

By race:

Black: 31%
White: 15%

By political affiliation:

Democrat: 22%
Independent: 17%
Republican: 10%

it's amusing to watch as the usual suspects desperately try to downplay mad Maxine's popularity with her base.

We're starting to see some push-back against this. Right now it's in jest (see below), but could get very real if we keep demonizing white people, most of whom these days are not racist and have not held anyone down. There's a big difference between the concept of institutional racism, and decrying all white people as devils.
