Maxine Waters indicates that all Democrat Presidential candidates have "blemishes" in their record of dealing with Blacks

On MSNBC Maxine Waters said:

the 2020 presidential hopefuls who are white had “blemishes on their record about their relationships with black people.”

She went on to say:

“But let me just say this; most white candidates live in white communities. They go to white churches. Their children go basically to white schools, etc., etc. So, you know, they all have blemishes on their record about their relationships with black people. And so the way they change oftentimes is if we are able to organize and to protest and to force them to understand what they’re not doing in terms of equality and justice and force them to have to recognize that and do the right thing.”

“And so I think if you look at all of the records, you’ll find that the interaction with black people has not been stellar,” she continued. “They have not done anything that is so great that one can be said to be so much better than the other. They all need to understand their responsibility to all of the people. Many of these white candidates will go down to Selma, Alabama, for the first time to walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. They hadn’t done it before. Many of them will go to a black church for the first time in their lives.”

She added, “So we’re dealing with all of them. And now that the black vote has become very important and very influential. We need to use this opportunity to ensure that they’re making the kind of commitments that they can keep up with, that the promises they’re making will be kept, and we’ll know in the conversations that they have whether or not. They’re trying to learn something about black people overnight, or whether or not they really have given thought to it, they’ve been there, and they can identify what they’ve done in the past. And that goes for all of them.”

While she undoubtedly didn't intend to she was making the case that conservatives have made for decades; Democrats today talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

After all does anyone really think that if nearly 3000 white people had been shot in Democrat run Chicago last year that there wouldn't be a cop on every street corner?  But since mostly Blacks and Latino's were shot Democrats just don't care.

Meanwhile here's Trump before he ran for President:
