Former congressman Jamaal Bowman sparked outrage with his explanation for health problems in the black community. He blamed chronic diseases on racism during a CNN debate, drawing widespread mockery online.

Bowman shouted that heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes plague black Americans because of racist language. He claimed the stress of being called the N-word daily causes these health issues. This happened while arguing with Republican Marc Short about political violence.

Many Americans found Bowman’s claims ridiculous. They pointed out that personal choices like diet and exercise matter more than words. Others joked they could blame their own weight problems on hearing about “white privilege.”

Bowman’s outburst ignores basic facts about health. All Americans face stress, but personal responsibility affects outcomes most. His excuse-making hurts the people he claims to help by removing accountability.

This isn’t Bowman’s first scandal. He previously pulled a fire alarm in Congress during a vote. Then he lied about it to investigators. His pattern shows disrespect for rules and truth.

Bowman’s extreme views highlight why voters rejected him last election. Hardworking Americans want solutions, not excuses. They know real progress comes from strong families and faith, not blaming others.

Liberals like Bowman push this victim mindset constantly. They’d rather complain about racism than teach healthy habits. That’s not leadership—it’s failure.

Our country needs unity, not division. We must reject these poisonous ideas and focus on what unites us as Americans.
