WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters urged change at the "Redeem the Dream Summit."

The Democratic congresswoman spoke at the event hosted by the National Urban League marking the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.

She says there's still more work to do, and she's ready to roll up her sleeves.

"And we must be committed to bring about change," Waters said. "What drove more that 250,000 Americans to the Lincoln Memorial 50 years ago was because they had the courage of their convictions, and they had the sense of their power to bring about change. They created the agenda. They demanded change. The question is, 'Do you feel a sense of determination and power to overcome the harm and disparities that continue to haunt us?'"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must do this because there are those who have new tactics and clever strategies to limit our power and participation and undermine a decent quality of life in an effort to control and maintain their power," Waters added. "I think that we all do have the courage of our convictions, and we're prepared to do this work."

I once watched the erudite Ms. Waters address a group called Mothers Against Mandatory Minimums (on CSPAN.) I guess they were a group of African Americans who wanted to catch a break from the sentencing guidelines. I watched, jaw agape, for a few minutes.

Gee whiz, Waters, still want reparations for nothing you were involved in and nothing I had anything to do with?

How much money do you want, you b*tch for having nothing to do with slavery? BTW, you dumbass, did you know that Africans were rounding up tribal peoples to put them on the white boats? Yes! Your black tribal forefathers did that!. It's a fact!

Plus, do you know that slavery still exists in the Muslim countries and you say nothing about it? Do you also know that many Muslim countries circumsize young girls' clitoris? You're an ignorant shit and obsessed with crap that happened long ago. Grow up you dipshit and get with the modern program. You're a punk.

This meeting sounds more like “Black Ku Klux Klan needs to kill more Whitey”

Maxine you ignorant slut!

You should apologize to prostitutes for your actions. You won’t. How your mouth works despite the fact that you have only the brain power for barely life support is truly amazing.

The only and I mean only reason you have a job is the color of your skin. If you were white you would be living on the street in a shopping cart on purpose.

You support illegal alien murders and rapists yet you say you support women. How is that working? Or are your constituencies that ignorant and obtuse to see what you are.

How does it feel to be a Judas goat? Is the power and money worth you eternal soul? I guess we know the answer to that.

A poli-tic whore. Bloodsucking being the operative word.
