Auntie Maxine: Police Think Their Job ‘Is to Keep Black People in Their Place’

By  Keely Sharp

On Sunday, Rep. Maxine Waters told Spectrum News 1 that police in the United States think “their greatest challenge and their greatest choir is to keep black people in their place.”

Host Tanya McRae asked, “We again witnessed racial tensions explode in this country after the death of George Floyd. Why do you think this country has such difficulty learning from history and making real changes when it comes to violence and injustice done to black people.”

Waters replied, “I believe that it stems from the history of this country. It stems from slavery when whites were absolutely in charge, and they absolutely controlled the lives of people and their families. They decided to separate families and send the boys in one direction, the girls in another the mothers to the big house. I mean, they’ve always been in charge. I think that this thinking about the need to control, the need to you know, make sure that people stay in their place, so-called, has been what has basically what has happened in America all of these years. And I think it continues in various ways. Sometimes a little bit more sophisticated ways.”

She added, “The police, I think really believe and in some ways are led to believe that their greatest challenge and their greatest choir is to keep black people in their place.”

Really? So police just wake up every morning and set a goal on how many black people they can “put in their place” that day? What about police officers who are black? Is it also their goal to oppress their own race?

The race card can’t be played in every single scenario. It’s insulting for Democrats to think that people are dumb enough to fall for it.
