Unseated Squad Member Addresses Daniel Penny Verdict: ‘Dear White People’
“If you’re threatening people on the subway, you’re not a good person no matter what your skin color is.”
Outgoing New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, best known for pulling a fire alarm to delay a House vote and for losing his primary by a whopping 17 points, took to X to express his outrage over the Daniel Penny verdict.
In the opening post of a 12-post thread (accessible in full by clicking below), Bowman wrote: “Dear White People, I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you. I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us. Some of you are too far gone. But maybe enough of you aren’t and will join us in fighting to end white supremacy.”
Dear White People,
I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you. I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us. Some of you are too far gone. But maybe enough of you aren’t and will join us in fighting to end white supremacy.

Jamaal Bowman continued his thread to “call out the hypocrisy and evil of it all.” He shared that he has “seen countless incidents of brutal police violence and killings in my lifetime.” He referenced the cases of Rodney King, George Floyd, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and Breonna Taylor before shifting his focus back to Jordan Neely.
Adding to his list, Bowman mentioned Tyre Nichols—a 29-year-old black man who died in January 2023, several days after being brutally beaten by five black Memphis police officers. Bowman explained his inclusion of Nichols, stating, “White supremacy is not skin color. It’s a state of mind.” In other words, according to Bowman, the black officers were agents of white supremacy.
Bowman eventually returned to Jordan Neely’s case, asserting, “Neely was sick, but not a threat. He was subdued. Still not a threat. Daniel Penny choked him for 6 minutes. And killed him. We all watched it on camera, and he was still acquitted.”
Interestingly, Bowman did not mention the black man who helped restrain Neely during the incident.
He concluded his impassioned thread by decrying how black people are “harmed or killed,” claiming that “there is never accountability or justice. This is the evil of white supremacy.”
Later, Bowman reposted the first tweet in his 12-post thread, adding the caption, “Seems like I hit a nerve. White people on X going crazy on this one. Must’ve been a lot of truth in what I posted.”
He followed up with another message:
Wow. This has been so triggering for so many of you. Do you realize you’re actually proving my point? If you are that triggered by this, imagine how I must feel when Black people are murdered consistently and there is no Justice. Y’all can’t handle a tweet. Fascinating. https://t.co/RwD9uZAHcI

Unsurprisingly, Bowman faced significant backlash for his remarks. His posts were met with numerous “community notes” from other users, highlighting the obvious inaccuracies and contradictions in his claims.
Rep. Bowman,
Blacks have killed 103,000 more white people than white people have killed black people since 1959.
You live in a dream world in which blacks (who murder at a rate over 10 times that of non-Hispanic whites) are the primary victims of interracial violence. pic.twitter.com/RTLHTXZZhq

Many Whites have addressed police brutality against Blacks. How about you address homicide rates now? pic.twitter.com/nCLB5oSeda

Other users were happy to explain to Bowman why he lost his primary this summer.
Dear Jamaal Bowman,
Us Republicans view people for the content of their character, and not the color of their skin.
If you're threatening people on the subway, you're not a good person no matter what your skin color is.
If you try to subdue such a threat, you're a good person…

Hey Jamaal Bowman, if you’re wondering why you lost your primary, it’s because of racist comments like this one from you.
I’m glad you’ll no longer be in Congress soon.

He was even called out by one black man who noted that during his four years in Congress, he’d done nothing to enact change for those whom he professes to care so much about. Instead, he “stirs the pot for clicks and cheap outrage. … Is this really the legacy you want? Screaming into the void while doing nothing for the people you claim to represent?”
Jamaal, why are you dodging another black man raising valid concerns? It’s not about being “triggered” by your tweet—it’s about your refusal to engage in a meaningful conversation about real solutions. You say you’re “triggered” by the lack of justice, yet you sit in a position…

What Bowman needs to understand most is that the “Al Sharpton-style” of race-baiting no longer resonates with the public. The nation has moved past the unfounded hysteria over “systemic racism” that swept across the country following George Floyd’s death in May 2020. The divisive narrative that America is inherently racist—propagated by the Democratic Party and amplified by the legacy media—has run its course. Daniel Penny’s acquittal by a New York jury serves as a clear signal that America has entered a post-2020 era. At last, a measure of sanity has returned to the national conversation.
Goodbye, Jamaal.

“Dear White People, I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you.”
Neither do I. STFU and go away
Amen.
Tired of the black racists like Bowman in our midst. Fortunately, for them especially, their bigoted claims are false.
With his unhinged, racist anti-White rants, Jamaal is trying to get noticed.
Sorry, Charlie. Only the best tasting rants are good enough for Starkist. Al Sharpton-style of race-baiting no longer works with the white fishes.
Not true, think Carlin Clark
Well
Apparently Carlin Clarke is a product of the woke black culture and when she was given the athletic of the year award by Time Magazine… are they still functioning?
They also gave one to Hitler, if I remember, correctly
Anyway
She bent the knee and acknowledged her white privilege
And wants all the black women who came
Before her to
Gain financial benefited cause, they are the real foundation of WNBA
What a piece of sad BS Catlin
First of all, basketball was invented by a white person and often blacks are given athletic positions, ie scholarships, jobs, based on the idea that blacks are more athletic than an equal white athlete
I know this because not only has that been admitted by black coaches and athletes but my daughter, white, was always the best player on her basketball teams from AAU, HS, D1 and had to prove herself endlessly. Yes, White girls can jump and score and rebound
So instead of bending the knee the groveling to the black masses, ignoring all the young girls who looked up to you and wanted to be just like Cat
You throw that all away with your disgusting groveling
she can always hang with Swift, who we’re are also sick of cause I will
Never Ever watch or buy anything connected to you again
So
Sick of these race hustlers and race apologists
I agree with you on Clark’s despicable wokeness but there is actually physiological evidence that Blacks are more athletic in sports involving the legs due to an Achilles tendon difference that is more common in Blacks than whites.

So in fact they do have an inborn privilege in athletics.
Here’s another easy read one about the center of gravity advantage.

This is why they can stick all those “came from nothing and worked harder than all wypipo” stories where the sun don’t shine.
White supremacy to Bowman and his ilk,
— the ability to solve algebra and word problems
— speaking properly and clearly
— being generally civil
Shaddup retard, even your side can’t stand you
Dear Black people.
Play the Cris Rock YouTube video: “How not to get your ass kicked by the police.”
Sound and simple advice. Very funny
If you make the cops chase you, they’re bring an ass-kicking with them.
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
It will take the reader very little effort to confirm that Albert Schweitzer considered them a subspecies that must be treated as children. And he was a devout Christian and polymath who devoted his life to helping them.
Dear Mr. Bowman:
You’re a real Dem. Keep up the great work!
Love,
G. Soros
Racist POS
What is it about former educators who toss their hats into the ring? Bowman, Tim and dingbat wife Gwen Walz, and of course “Doctor” Jill.
When will American voters quit voting these dimwitted activists to positions of even greater power over us?
