On Monday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) tore into Kanye West for West’s heresy in questioning the hegemony of the Democratic Party among black Americans.
Asked by a Politico writer about West, Waters stated, “Kanye West is a very creative young man. … But we also think that sometimes West talks out of turn and perhaps he needs some assistance in helping him to formulate some of his thoughts. We don’t think that he actually means to do harm, but we’re not sure he really understands the impact of what he’s saying, at the time that he’s saying it and how that weighs on, particularly the African-American community – and for young people in general.”
She continued: “I understand that he is getting pushback from a lot of young people on the internet … but we’re hopeful that his creativity will continue to be demonstrated in his work. And I think maybe he should think twice about politics – and maybe not have so much to say.”

“Talks out of turn”? “Maybe not have so much to say”? West’s entire point is that he should be able to speak out in ways Maxine Waters doesn’t like.
Waters’ nonsense is incredibly paternalistic, obviously. Imagine if a white person said something like this about, say, LeBron James. Oh, wait, it happened, and the entire Left called Laura Ingraham a racist. But when a two-bit grafter like Maxine Waters calls out Kanye West for saying obvious things about the monolithic support for the Democratic Party among black Americans, then she’s treated as perfectly normal.
And there’s tremendous irony to Waters calling West uninformed, a person who needs help formulating his thoughts. This is a woman who called the Los Angeles riots an “uprising.” This is a person whose husband, a major stockholder in OneUnited Bank, stood to see major benefit from her position on the House Financial Services Committee.
This is a Congresswoman who said that Putin was invading Korea (not Crimea), said that she was once a Millennial (nope), promoted abortion by saying, “I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion” (wut) and claimed that she never called for Trump’s impeachment after calling repeatedly for Trump’s impeachment. But somehow Kanye’s the uninformed one? And Waters is the great font of wisdom?
An IQ below seventy is a moron, below fifty an imbecile, below thirty an idiot, and below that—Maxine.
Translation from Maxinese to English:
“Kanye, git yo ass back on da plantation”.
Yes, Miss Maxine. I hear’s ya.
The old hag is terrified that the Democratic racial scam is unraveling. Enough to blow her wig right off her head!
Waters belongs on the set of “The Planet of the Apes” …no make-up needed.
Another example of a house nigger telling a field nigger to shut up. What is sad is how she believes she’s doing the inverse of that.
If I call Maxine a nigger, is anyone here going to lose their shit?
While I find the term a bit harsh, I do firmly believe that there are absolutely some folks of African descent who should ONLY be referred to by that term and she is clearly one of them.
Leftists won’t allow blacks to step out of their stereotype and become thinking people.
But we also think that sometimes West talks out of turn
That’s the most racist comment I’ve heard in a while.
Kanye goes Trumpist and Dutchman goes SJW. Let me off this crazy planet!
West takes a right turn and things go south. That’s more fucked up than a football bat.
The left is losing power and cannot wrap their ignorant heads around what the future looks like with no one catering to their whim……They may just have to get jobs for the first time in a long time……
She needs to be told the facts of the 1st Amendment…obviously she missed that part of her swearing into office.
Maxipad thinks amendments are things you put on your Hotdog.
Maxine and Hank, running neck and neck for dumbest Negro in Congress. Fact
Greetings,
I am absolutely enjoying watching the snake eat its own tail. I think it would be hysterical if the Black vote was no longer guaranteed to the Democrats. It can’t be lost on them that the Dems have done ZERO for them other than have them live off of crumbs in exchange for votes.
I hope she stays in office. We need more Democrats like her.

Gratz Kenye,
When the best they can come up with is Maxine,
That’s kinda like a Win don’t ya think
In the fabled words of Velvet Johnson world renowned pimp :”DA BITCH CRAZY”
It would be awesome if Kanye went further than just supporting Trump, but started calling out all these race hustlers by name, and listing their depredations on their “brothers and sisters”!! I’d invest in a popcorn farm then, for sure.
Man, the tyranny that oozes from the left. “No free speech for thee if you disagree with me”. Thank you, Maxine, for proving West’s point! Rest assured that if Kanye takes it too far, he’ll get Cosby’d for sure.
It’s a crying shame that Maxipads mammy couldn’t have an abortion. She is just too stupid to realize that if her mammy did she wouldn’t be around to march or spew all her hate filled vomit.
