The idiotic racialism of Jamaal Bowman
In the wake of the Daniel Penny verdict, the soon to be departing, progressive member of Congress Jamaal Bowman addressed a thread on X to “Dear White People.”
What followed was typical dreck. “I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you,” Bowman opened his missive. “I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us.”
What was most notable about this sorry little exercise was that Bowman thought writing a note to “white people” made sense in the first place. It’s a little like beginning a letter, “Dear Earthlings.”
