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.
Drunken words are sober thoughts. I’m sure he thought his status as a professor would shield him, what with being ‘woke’ and all. I’m enjoying seeing all this stuff coming full circle back to the left. Cancel culture indeed.
Not so, the guillotines are being placed for everyone.
He was trying to blame his evil white racist invisible twin brother.
So what exactly are her politically incorrect views on Adolph Hitler?
Or is the evil Press California Staff just engaging in their usual racist and sexist libel of strong black women?
Put up or shut up.
“ Owens, noted for her politically incorrect views on subjects ranging from George Floyd to Adolph Hitler”
Huh, what?!
I wonder what her politically incorrect views on Hitler are?
Probably saying that the liberals are wrong in calling Trump a “Nazi” when in fact it is the liberal’s stance on things that are more like Hitler.
Black Irish?
‘I made a terrible mistake. It was white privilege’
Doesn’t look white to me in the pic
ALL the original klansmen were democrats.
When democrats realized they couldn’t stop the civil rights movement they jumped on board and went to the head of the parade - and changed from: “Blacks can do no right” to “Blacks can do no wrong”.
Both position are dreadful and both harm the black community.
Democrats then used their hate tactics against their new target - traditional white Americans... It’s as if Germans - after leaning it’s evil to put Jews in ovens - decided it was OK to put Asians in ovens.
What he did was a display of DEMOCRAT privilege.
A lot of white people died for the Union during the U.S. Civil War. They had the "white privilege" of dying to end slavery in the U.S.
He looks smarmy.
With totally deranged lunatics like this “professor” teaching at the universities, it’s no surprise so many of our universities are so totally screwed up.
He looks Irish as Paddys pig.
Politically Incorrect to who?
No biased in that writing, huh?
If anyone would like to contact the administration at Chapman college and get this racist pig fired, contact emails can be found here:

He is also a Democrat so the Klan connection made perfect sense.
Not the first time this kind of “woke” (asleep and really stup id a@@ “professor” types and Attorney Generals) crapola about Black Republicans being “klansman” (a complete IMPOSSIBILITY for the 1920’s era Second Klan- its largest membership then over 2 million nationally, marched in DC with full “hoodies” and US and other flags- including the abuse they BEGAN against the Battle Flag of the Army of N. Virginia-CSA).
See: the current and newly elected Lt. Gov. of North, Mark Carolina
Robinson, gun owner, RKBA advocate whose eloquence in anger against the Greensboro City Council on television nationwide led to statewide support of his candidacy in the Repub primaries and swept into Lt. Gov. office on the Trump support in NC and 2nd Amendment. So now— the jew-”ish” Atty General accused Robinson of being a Klansman (this is insane but oh so clever of the Communist Statists). The black and white gun owners of NC know where this is coming from. The frauds who are Gov. Cooper and the AG Josh Stein— full of crap.
And... they continue ridiculous lockdowns on the basis of false positive covid “infections” that are not tracked as to age (ie. in the 99.99% survival age brackets- who will recover fully)... nor any other proper precautions as DeSantis in FL has done (protect the vulnerable patient population).
Black Klansmen— just beyond belief the whackos at this sterilized Statist Communist propaganda.
One of the 'Black-Irish', who are not of Nordic descent, but rather were Spanish Armada survivors
who washed up on the shore in 1588 A.D., and then settled permanently there .
Also, Spanish traders were already known to mix in there with the Irish Country folk.
