When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When all you have is racial grievance, everything looks like racism. That is the case for Jamaal Bowman, the only dude in an all-girl band known as “AOC’s Loon Squad featuring The Black Squad.” The New York Rep. thinks literally everything is a pillar of white supremacy including the filibuster, the Electoral College, and student loan debt.
Bowman has already accused Republicans of white supremacy but apparently that wasn’t enough, because he sees white supremacy everywhere. Check out this thread:
The filibuster is a pillar upholding white supremacy. It’s time to end it.

The electoral college is a pillar upholding white supremacy. It’s time to abolish it.

Student loan debt is a pillar upholding white supremacy. It’s time to cancel all of it.

The democrats, Bowman’s own party, recently used the filibuster to block COVID-19 relief until after the election so that President Trump wouldn’t get a big win before people headed to the polls. Considering that democrats, including Bowman, say Trump was the most racist President ever and a white supremacist, it would seem as if the filibuster helped bring down white supremacy.
In the last 4 presidential elections, the Electoral College elected a black person 3 times (Obama twice and vice president Kamala Harris once). At 75% electing a black person, the Electoral College sure is a shitty pillar upholding white supremacy.
The vast majority of people with student loan debt in this country are white. Cancelling student loan debt would overwhelmingly help out privileged white people, so in reality it’s the cancelling of the debt that would be a pillar of white supremacy.
Using the liberal way of thinking, Bowman is 0-3 in identifying white supremacy, since all of these things, in one way or another, prop up the democratic party. Then again, the democratic party is the most racist organization in the history of the United States. Bowman gets a technical win but it does beg the question: why is he a democrat if he opposes white supremacy so fervently?
But the thing is, Bowman literally thinks everything is racist:
The myth of American exceptionalism and the lie of white supremacy don’t just hurt Americans of color.
They box white Americans into a false identity of superiority, keeping them from fulfilling their potential and existing as humans.
That’s what the extremists are defending.

We will reimagine every American institution that stands on a foundation of white supremacy. Including the police. pic.twitter.com/Zhq0sKjMOU

Our country has a domestic terrorism and white supremacy problem.
Only when those problems are solved can we build a truly exceptional nation. pic.twitter.com/UTkXE8b5c3

America, Americans, and all police officers are white supremacy? I guess that pretty much covers it all.
I’m not kidding. Jamaal Bowman sent 13 tweets with the words “white supremacy” between January 7 and January 22. That’s almost 1 “white supremacy” tweet per day.
This is a slight variation on the rule that racism is everything that liberals hate. White supremacy is everything Jamaal Bowman hates. Liberals hate everything so everything is racist and Bowman hates everything so everything is white supremacy.
