William O’Mara IV, a liberal white history professor at Chapman University, was preparing for a rematch in 2022 after losing to Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona in November. Days ago, he sent the KKK photo to Owens with the following message: “Yikes. You may’ve dropped this.”
Owens, a book author and commentator with 2.6 million Twitter followers, wasn’t amused.
She tweeted that she contacted the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for what she described as his “little klansmen act.”
Owens, noted for her politically incorrect views on subjects ranging from George Floyd to Adolph Hitler, had recently wondered online why whites were being blamed for violence against blacks and Asians when most violence against blacks and Asians is committed by blacks.
The comment set off O’Mara, a longtime progressive professor known for his double braided beard, who goes by the name Liam, who then sent his offensive tweet.
In an interview, Owens, who has urged African-Americans to quit the Democratic Party, said O’Mara has sent “vitriol” her way before.
“Liam has followed and harassed me for no other reason than my being a black Republican, for approximately two years,” Owens told The Press-Enterprise in Riverside. “I had never responded to him previously, but the Klansmen hood was a step too far.”
Owens added: “I am a forgiving person. However, Mr. O’Mara has qualified his apologies with excuses and lies. He has called me far-right and rather bizarrely, a racist black woman. That is unacceptable.”
“I made a terrible mistake,” he wrote. “I am officially (resigning) from all my responsibilities within the Democratic Party, and am no longer running for Congress.”
“What I did was a display of white privilege,” said O’Mara. “I will never know what pain can be experienced by members of our community when faced with images of the Klan like the one I used. Its use, like all discriminatory rhetoric, has no place in our discourse or our society.”
O’Mara, who said he sent the tweet late at night when he wasn’t in a good frame of mind, deleted his Twitter account.
O'Mara’s “disgusted” campaign staffers posted a web statement expressing their disapproval.
“We all have various histories with him, but we never imagined that he would commit such an act of hate,” read the letter, which was signed by 16 people. “Liam, through his racist actions, has materially harmed the African American community.”
Calvert took issue with O’Mara’s tweet.
“When we disagree with each other, there are plenty of ways to express those thoughts without the use of hateful, racist imagery,” Calvert wrote on his campaign Twitter account.
White Privilege, Black Privilege...don’t care. I sat on university admissions committees and saw black students be given admission over white students with better qualifications. I’ve seen quotas in hiring do the same thing. I’m pretty tired of this White Supremacy bull crap. Isn’t it interesting how we never heard a thing about BML, Antifa, or White Supremacy until Trump started eroding the black voting block that Democrats have exploited for years. Coincidence? Methinks not.
White Privilege = Inherent Leftist Racism
To whom? Idiotic Moronic Liberals? 😀
The Great Awakening is everyone discovering that the true racists are,
in fact, the ones making all the noise about racism.
And the true crooks are those trying to convict the President we sent to
drain the swamp.
And yes, the election was blatantly stolen, and the PedoDementoCorruptCrat only got a fraction of the votes claimed.
He looks swarthy...
He is such a wimp. He will not/cannot blame himself for his evil manners; but instead indicts every person of European ancestry. It’s his ‘whiteness’ according to him.
We should all be insulted by an grown man who is a professor accusing everyone who shares his European ethnicity as white supremacists. The poor man ‘just can’t help it’. His genes made him do it.
So, it isn’t just Trumpsters that respond to ‘dog whistles?’
Is he even white? I doubt it based on the looks.
He's a college professor. How about using carefully reasoned logic in writing to make your case?
Dunno. But the last four letters in William are ‘liam.’ Some first names get shortened like that.
I’m not sure who the lame “white privilege” attempt at an excuse actually blames. Society? Him Mom and Dad for having him? Himself? His neighbors?
Normal people call that "Raaaaaaacist".
A Demonrat created org.
Meant: Hate group.
Or stoned, tripping, flying...
Ya never know.
He looks like he smells like B.O. and pot.
One might say they were cross with him. Burning cross.
That was very well stated.
And when the Great Awakening begins in earnest, I expect people may be ready to lynch the Media for lying to them all these years.
Aye, that he does. 8>)
