@ Michael Roberts maybe not, but that is beside the point. Many people do care what government officials say and how it will affect their futures.

Unless of course the Democrats have been part of this systemic racism thing as well. 

Yes, everyone in "the system" is part of systemic racism. That's how it works. 

As a Black man my absolute worst experiences with police have been with Black cops.

@ Jabari Even though you won't read this, you have some awesome debate skills. And reading comprehension problems as well. 

Last time, 

1. I fully agree with the outcome. 
2. I am not "right wing" nor do I read FoxNews
3. Trump is a fucking idiot. 
(Added #2 and 3 since people like to judge)
4. I am concerned about government interference in the court system. That's it. 

This stuff is so so obvious I wonder why I have to even comment on it. (numbers 1 and 4).

As an Asian man, my worst experiences in real life are with supposed Liberals. They somehow think they have a license to be racist.

Beyond the “boogeymen” on either side of the aisle, most Americans can’t name the representative in their own district, much less elsewhere in their state, and even less in another state. 

Again, to quote the judge that presided over the Chauvin case: 

“A congresswoman's opinion really doesn't matter a whole lot”

I’m also having trouble determining what Rep. Waters said that hadn’t already been said in the year-long, global discussion over the BLM movement. Right-wingers are convinced that Maxine Waters was the tipping point in an omnipresent dialogue.

And again, completely irrelevant. The issue is that she has an opinion at all. And she should have known better to wade into an ongoing court proceeding. All she has done is create a nice talking point for Fox News and introduced doubt. (I checked their web site a few minutes ago. I see they are running with this). Very irresponsible on her part, or an any government official with the ability to pass laws.

 QUOTE:
Rep. Waters

Those three letters in front of her name is what is wrong with what she said. Nothing to do with "right-wingers".Private citizens world-wide are perfectly free to have any opinion they want.

The Right loves to demonize the "Angry Black Woman", Waters is just the latest target. She had no affect on this case, and they know it. Like I said, it's just trying to change the narrative. Which should be that, y'know, justice was served.

Having lived in Los Angeles, I can assure you that Waters represented her district in what she said. And does not hold power over the Minnesotan court system.

@Michael, for the nth time, that has nothing to do with it. 

@Jabari, you are just looking more and more irrelevant to the conversation. What I am talking about has nothing at all to what you are talking about.
