You know you’re in for a treat when Rep. Jamaal Bowman kicks off a thread with, “Dear White People.” It seems this is Bowman’s response to Daniel Penny’s acquittal of criminally negligent homicide in the death of beloved Michael Jackson impersonator Jordan Neely. Bowman doesn’t even know why he even feels the need to keep talking to white people. In short: He doesn’t.

Bowman will have plenty of time to fight white supremacy since he lost his reelection bid.

This is a really long thread; we might skip around a bit.

“Countless incidents.” He’s talking here about “brutal police violence” so maybe it’s not about Penny.

Anyone, Bowman goes on to namecheck Eric Garner (“All he was doing was trying to sell a few cigarettes to survive an economy that failed him”); Philando Castile; Trayvon Martin; Breonna Taylor; George Floyd (I cried. And couldn’t stop crying”); and Jordan Neely. Neely had been arrested 42 times, but we’d never heard of police being violent with him.

Again, Penny’s not a cop. Maybe if police were properly funded and supported, there would have been an office on that subway. And telling people you’re going to kill them makes you a threat.

Another hundred instances? Really? How many times have we seen a white man killed in cold blood on camera in our newsfeeds? Not often — those incidents don’t make the news. “How many times have you even heard about this?” is telling.

Once again, Penny wasn’t a cop.

You’re damn right Kyle Rittenhouse is free. And by the way, he didn’t kill any black people despite the common perception.

Maybe worry less about “white supremacy” and more about black-on-black violence, which is the real killer.

We’re certainly relieved that as non-black people we don’t have Bowman representing us in Congress … he only seems concerned about “the community.”
