She took an oath of office to uphold the United States Constitution—but it was written by the same type of men, just a few years apart, that wrote the Declaration of Independence. Yet, she no longer recognizes the Declaration as anything but racist. So, she must also believe the same of the Constitution. Yet, she swore to uphold it—instead she is using her position as a member of Congress to divide us and support insurrection.
“House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) criticized the Declaration of Independence in a tweet on July 4th, suggesting it is a racist document because it was written almost 250 years ago, when there was slavery in the United States.
She tweeted Sunday:
July 4th… & so, the Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal. Equal to what? What men? Only white men? Isn’t it something that they wrote this in 1776 when African Americans were enslaved? They weren’t thinking about us then, but we’re thinking about us now!”
We do have systemic racism in America—Waters, and her buddies are the advocates for it.
Maxine Waters Criticizes Declaration of independence

House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) criticized the Declaration of Independence in a tweet on July 4th, suggesting it is a racist document because it was written almost 250 years ago, when there was slavery in the United States.
She tweeted Sunday:

While most of her Republican and Democrat colleagues in the House tweeted celebratory messages, she and several other African American Democrats tweeted messages that highlighted racism in the country’s history.
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) said the 4th of July is about freedom “for white people.”
“When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people,” she tweeted. “This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.”
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) also used the occasion to tweet about race.
“Let us reflect on the full story of America today. Black people were not freed in 1776. Despite a system stacked against us, we must continue to use our collective power to change that system,” he tweeted.
