Former Congressman Jamaal Bowman has claimed that black people are suffering from serious medical conditions because they are called the N-word so regularly.
Appearing on a CNN panel on Thursday, Bowman outlined his theory that rates of cancer, obesity, and heart disease are higher among black Americans because of people allegedly using the N-word.
“I’m a black man in America,” Bowman explained.
“The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the n-word directly or indirectly every day.”
I actually watched the video to make sure the quote was real…. Lmao

Bowman’s rhetoric was so bizarre and extreme that even the Democratic Party ultimately rejected him.
In last year’s Congressional primary, Bowman lost to former New York State Assemblyman George Latimer by over 20 points.
In the wake of President Trump’s landslide election victory, Bowman openly attacked white people for not supporting his political ideas and claimed that some are simply “too far gone.”
“Dear White People,” he wrote at the time. “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.”
“I just wanna call out the hypocrisy and evil of it all and just continue to hope.
”I won’t rely completely on you because I know what’s most important is to work with my community and other like minded allies in the fight for justice.”
I just wanna call out the hypocrisy and evil of it all and just continue to hope. I won’t rely completely on you because I know what’s most important is to work with my community and other like minded allies in the fight for justice. But I guess I’ll just offer this:
