The California Democrat was highly critical of the U,S, in a Fourth of July Twitter thread. She cited the existence of slavery when the U.S. was established in 1776 as well as issues such as the current voting laws and the deaths of Black people during police encounters.
"[T]he Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal. Equal to what? What men? Only white men?" Waters tweeted Sunday. "Isn't it something that they wrote this in 1776 when African Americans were enslaved? They weren't thinking about us then, but we're thinking about us now!"More Related News
