Michelle Obama Urges People to Be ‘Mindful’ of Buying’ White Owned Clothes Brands

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has urged people to be “mindful” when buying from white-owned clothing brands.

During a recent interview clip circulating on social media, Obama says she actively tries to buy clothes from people of “color” in order to “make it a point.”

“If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like, and I know that they’re a person of color, I try to make it a point, but the clothes have to be available.”

“You know, I think we can all do some work to think about that balance in our wardrobes, you know.”

“What does our closet look like and who’s in it? Who are we supporting in it? You know, and I think if you have the money to buy Chanel, then you have the money to buy everybody.”

“And so let us be mindful, I think would be my advice.”

Mamdani Housing Czar: ‘White, Middle-Class Homeowners are a Huge Problem’

Cea Weaver, the ‘tenant advocate’ and housing czar of the Zohran Mamdani administration, was in the news a few weeks ago when it was first revealed that she believes in collectivized housing. Now we are learning more about what she believes.

In the clip below, she describes white, middle-class homeowners as a problem. This is the sort of insane ideology you might hear on the campus of Bryn Mawr College, which Weaver attended. The point is that this woman sees home ownership as an obstacle to progress.

The people Mamdani is surrounding himself with are insane and dangerously stupid. Home ownership is one of the most basic ways that average people can build real wealth.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

‘White, Middle-Class Homeowners Are a Huge Problem’: Mamdani’s Communist Housing Czar Called To ‘Undermine the Institution of Homeownership’

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D., N.Y.) top housing official, Cea Weaver, bemoaned “white, middle-class homeowners” during a 2021 podcast appearance. Her goal as an organizer, Weaver said, is to “undermine the institution of homeownership.”

“White, middle-class homeowners are a huge problem for a renter justice movement,” Weaver said in previously unreported remarks on the Bad Faith podcast in September 2021, hosted by Briahna Joy Gray, a former press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) who was fired by the Hill after rolling her eyes at the sister of a hostage in Gaza who urged Gray to believe Israeli women whom Hamas had raped. Also on the podcast was activist Arianna Afeni Evans, most famous in the D.C. area for being arrested at a metro station for fare evasion in 2025.

“Unless we can undermine the institution of homeownership and seek to provide stability in other ways, I don’t know—it’s a really difficult organizing situation we find ourselves in.”

During the podcast episode, Weaver laid out a plan to use the government to attack landlords and prevent them from evicting tenants, in addition to fighting against homeownership.

“We need a national movement to pass universal rent control to limit landlords’ ability to endlessly profit on our homes, to give tenants the right to form a tenants’ union where they live, and to really block evictions,” she said. “But rent control is not enough: People need money. We need to tax billionaires and transform that into cash assistance for renters. And we need to chip away at homeownership, and that means—that means Medicare for All, that means, like, a deep investment in real social service programs.”

DOJ to investigate ‘anti-white’ taxpayer-funded ‘BIPOC youth’ swimming program in Oregon over civil rights violations

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division said it will investigate a taxpayer-funded program in Eugene, Oregon, that limits participation to “BIPOC youth.”

The social media account Libs of TikTok posted a flyer on X for the “BIPOC Water Safety and Lifeguard Cohort” in Eugene. The flyer states, “We invite BIPOC youth to join us where they are at being comfortable in the water. Whether working on increasing water safety skills or pursuing lifeguard certification, this cohort is here to support your goals. Funded by the community safety payroll tax in partnership with the Youth Empowerment Program.”

BIPOC is an acronym for “black, indigenous, people of color,” meaning the program is restricted to participants of those racial backgrounds. According to the City of Eugene’s website, the class is offered for free, unlike other youth programs, and is funded through the community safety payroll tax in partnership with the Youth Empowerment Program.

Libs of TikTok criticized the program, writing on X, “Your tax dollars are being spent on anti-White discrimination,” while tagging Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon. “This is illegal.”

Dhillon responded on X, confirming that the DOJ would look into the matter. “Racially discriminatory government programs are presumptively illegal,” she wrote.

Do the White Thing: Trump’s EEOC Tackling Anti-white Job Discrimination

Here’s an interesting question for those claiming that anti-white bias, and anti-white-male bias in particular, is imaginary.

Why do, as a 2021 study found, more than a third of white students claim racial-minority status on college applications? Is contagious masochism sweeping white America?

The Donald Trump administration knows the answer, and its Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is, essentially, delivering it.

The Washington Post reports on the story, writing:

In mid-December, the nation’s leading workplace civil rights enforcer took to social media to pose a question: “Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?”

Andrea Lucas, chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, appeared in the video, urging those who have to contact the agency “as soon as possible.”

“You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws,” she says in the video, which has amassed nearly 6 million views on X.

… [This] underscores the sea change at an agency central to President Donald Trump’s civil rights agenda — one that began with executive orders gutting the last vestiges of affirmative action, and buttressed by his purge of the EEOC board and a newly installed Republican majority.

Now “fully empowered,” the agency will focus on stamping out “illegal discrimination” stemming from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and “anti-American bias,” Lucas said recently….

Enforcement “will stress ‘individual rights over group rights’ she said, and eschew identity politics,” the Post adds.

Of course, this only makes sense because, constitutionally speaking, there’s no such thing as “group rights.” Our Constitution guarantees rights to individuals.

Student Exposes Instructor’s Anti White Comments

As first reported by Campus Reform, “Audio recorded by a student at Weber State University reveals what the student says is evidence of his debate professor’s ‘anti-White’ attitudes.”

If this wasn’t hateful and irrational enough, the instructor also asserted that science and the concept of space were “White Fantasies.”

In addition, this “educator” argued that those concepts were “fake”.

The instructor also endorsed a plan to “launch all White people into outer space,” echoing radical anti White and anti-Jewish hater Louis Farrakhan.

“Our argument will be that space is not real,” says the instructor, who the student identifies in a separate video as Ryan Wash, while guiding students through a debate topic meant to address the validity of the US working with other countries for space exploration. ”

A student at Weber, Michael Moreno, recorded his experiences with this instructor, who served as his debate coach.

The student made a video chronicling all these experiences with this anti-White teacher, as well as other hateful anti-White experiences.

Among the “gems” these instructors were caught teaching were “Whiteness then works, and then appropriates science and technology to say, ‘this is true while this is not true because it’s not verifiable,’” said Wash, going on to say that this is a “hyperfocus on the experiential” for those who do not “capitulate with whiteness.”

Moreno then raised the topic of Black astronauts who have been to space. Wash dismissed the example and pressed Moreno to prove that any black people have been to space, suggesting “we cannot know for sure if any have.”

Moreno posits that “the instructor may claim to have been simply engaging in a debate exercise, but argues that only using one’s own experience as evidence is fundamentally flawed and therefore not a legitimate debate exercise, not to mention assuming that the assertion that space is real has something to do with ‘whiteness.’”

In another segment of the video, Moreno argues that people who have gone through something as an experience are proof that something exists. The instructor, however, responds by calling that assertion ‘colonialism.’

The instructor also argued, “Whiteness as a structure definitely rules the world, that’s our uniqueness argument.”

Whites Protected by Employment Discrimination Laws

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Newsmax on Wednesday that Minneapolis Public Schools will learn they cannot discriminate against white people.

The Department of Justice’s civil rights division, which Dhillon leads, is suing Minneapolis Public Schools, accusing them of imposing race-, sex-, and national origin-based preferences in hiring, layoffs, reassignments, and reinstatements in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Dhillon noted on “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE,” that it has always been against the law to discriminate based on skin color, even against white people.

“The Department of Justice was never run before by an administration that cared about protecting the rights of all Americans,” Dhillon said.

“And yes, white Americans and men are protected by our employment discrimination laws.”

The complaint filed by DOJ says that since July 2021, the district has enforced collective bargaining provisions that intentionally favor “underrepresented” teachers — defined as Black, Indigenous, and other people of color — over white and Asian teachers.

According to the lawsuit, the 2021-2023 and 2023-2025 collective bargaining agreements required Minneapolis administrators to override standard seniority rules during layoffs and involuntary reassignments when a teacher was deemed “underrepresented.”

In those cases, district officials were instructed to skip the protected teacher and instead excess or reassign a “nonunderrepresented” teacher with more seniority.

“When we see egregious examples like paint-by-numbers and color-by-numbers, hiring in Chicago and Minneapolis, we open investigations,” Dhillon said.

“When we gather the evidence; we file lawsuits,” she added.

“This is a very clear case of not only disparate impact run amok but the types of affirmative action we are not having anymore in this country.”

“Disparate impact, DEI, that’s all over from the federal government’s perspective,” Dhillon concluded.

Minneapolis Public Schools SUED by Trump DOJ Over Blatant ANTI-WHITE Discrimination — Teachers of Color Shielded From Layoffs, Black Men Teachers Given Special Privileges

The Department of Justice has launched a major civil rights lawsuit against Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), accusing the district of engaging in open, systemic discrimination against teachers based on race and sex.

According to the federal complaint filed, the DOJ alleges that Minneapolis Public Schools and its school board adopted a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that explicitly shielded “teachers of color” from layoffs, while forcing white and non-preferred teachers to be fired, reassigned, or skipped over, regardless of seniority or qualifications.

The same race-based rules apply when teachers are reinstated. Under the contract, teachers of color are rehired first, even if white teachers were laid off earlier and have more experience.

According to the complaint:

“The United States brings this action to stop the Board of Directors of Special School District No. 1, Minneapolis Public Schools (Board), Special School District No. 1, the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), and MPS Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams (collectively, Defendants) from discriminating against teachers based on their race, color, sex, and national origin in violation of federal law.

Since at least July 1, 2021, Defendants have contracted with a teacher’s union to provide black teachers, teachers of color, and “underrepresented” teachers preferential treatment in employment decisions—such as involuntary reassignments, layoffs, and reinstatements—based on their race, color, sex, and national origin. This preferential treatment is plainly discriminatory and unlawful.”

The lawsuit also highlights a separate and even more explicit discrimination scheme involving an organization called “Black Men Teach.”

Under a special memorandum of agreement embedded in the contract, Black male teachers receive exclusive benefits unavailable to women or non-Black teachers, including:

  • Protection from layoffs and reassignment
  • Priority hiring at certain schools
  • Five additional paid days off per year for training and professional development

Only Black men are eligible for the program, meaning white teachers, Asian teachers, Hispanic teachers, and women of any race are automatically excluded.

Federal lawyers argue this amounts to open race- and sex-based discrimination, flatly prohibited by civil rights law.

“Discrimination is unacceptable in all forms, especially when it comes to hiring decisions,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

“Our public education system in Minnesota and across the country must be a bastion of merit and equal opportunity — not DEI.”

“Employers may not provide more favorable terms and conditions of employment based on an employee’s race and sex,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

“The Department of Justice will vigorously pursue employers who deny their employees equal opportunities and benefits by classifying and limiting them based on their race, color, national origin, or sex.”

EEOC chair makes appeal to white men who may have discrimination claims

Andrea Lucas, the chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), called on white men to come forward with employment and workplace discrimination complaints. 

Lucas said Wednesday in a video on the social platform X that white men may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws, and should contact the EEOC as soon as possible. 

The EEOC, established under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, enforces federal antidiscrimination laws in hiring or the workplace, which make it illegal for employers to discriminate against an applicant or employee because of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetic information.

“The EEOC is committed to identifying, attacking and eliminating all forms of race and sex discrimination, including against white male applicants and employees,” Lucas added.

Most employers with at least 15 employees and the majority of labor unions and employment agencies are subject to EEOC laws, according to the commission’s website. The laws apply to hiring, firing, promotions, trainings, wages and benefits. 

Lucas, appointed by President Trump in November, had served as acting chair since January. She has been on the commission since 2020, when Trump appointed her during his first term. 

Prior to her time at the EEOC, she worked at the law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and clerked for U.S. District Judge James C. Cacheris. Cacheris, who died earlier this year, was appointed to his post in the Eastern District of Virginia by former President Reagan. 

On her LinkedIn page, Lucas promoted a page on the EEOC’s website concerning what people should do if they experience discrimination due to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. The Trump administration has targeted federal DEI initiatives since the president returned to office in January.

Georgetown Professor Sprints Away, Tries to Assault OMG Cameraman After He’s Caught on Hidden Camera Calling Black Conservatives “Coons” 

A Georgetown professor was caught on hidden camera calling black conservatives “coons” and saying he “works with stupid white people.”

Jonathan Franklin, a Georgetown professor, went on an undercover date with James O’Keefe, and when he realized he was talking to O’Keefe, he flipped out.

O’Keefe’s disguise? A pair of glasses.

Franklin called black podcast host Candace Owens a “sellout” and conservative Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas “coons.”

“I work with stupid white people,” Franklin said.

Franklin actually trashed James O’Keefe while he was on the undercover date with O’Keefe.

“Well, the thing is, I actually am James O’Keefe,” James said as he removed his glasses.

After Franklin found out he was on a ‘date’ with James O’Keefe, he ran out of the restaurant.

When O’Keefe and his cameraman attempted to confront Franklin outside, he tried to assault the cameraman.

Antisemitic Social Media Posts Force Mamdani Appointee to Resign

Zohran Mamdani hasn’t even taken office, yet his administration is already showing signs of trouble.

On Thursday, disturbing antisemitic comments shared online by Mamdani appointee Catherine Almonte Da Costa, set to step into the role of Director of Appointments, resurfaced, causing a firestorm.

The vile rants included comments about “money-hungry Jews” and saying the Far Rockaway train “is the Jew train.”

The Anti-Defamation League of New York and New Jersey shared Da Costa’s posts and demanded answers from the Mamdani administration.

The group said on X, “Mayor-Elect Mamdani has announced Catherine (Cat) Almonte Da Costa as his Director of Appointments, tasked with ‘bring[ing] top talent into this administration.’”

“Her social media footprint includes posts from more than a decade ago that echo classic antisemitic tropes and otherwise demean Jewish people. Tweeting about ‘Money hungry Jews’ is indefensible.”

“We appreciate Da Costa has relationships with members of the Jewish community, but her posts require immediate explanation — not just from Ms. Da Costa, but also from the Mayor-Elect.”

“Vetting the appointment of city leaders will be Ms. Da Costa’s responsibility and the Jewish community deserves to know:

1) Were these comments previously identified by the Mayor-elect’s team? If so, why were they excused?

2) What will be the policy of the new Administration if comments like these are discovered during the vetting process?”

The organization shared screenshots of Da Costa’s tweets, which remained up until Thursday, when it appears she deleted her account.
