Mamdani Pressed on ‘The View’ Over Appointee Who Labeled Homeownership ‘Weapon of White Supremacy’ 

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was confronted on national television Tuesday over controversial past statements made by one of his appointees, as well as other members of his administration, during an appearance on The View, as reported by Fox News.

The exchange centered on comments made by Cea Weaver, whom Mamdani appointed as director of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants.

Weaver has drawn attention for prior social media posts criticizing homeownership and calling for communist electoral victories.

During the interview, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin raised concerns about the message sent by the mayor’s staffing decisions.

“Some appointees have come under fire for past social media posts, this often happens when new administrations come in,” Griffin said.

“Your new chief equity officer made several now-deleted comments disparaging liberal White women. Your tenant advocate tweeted that homeownership was a weapon of White supremacy and called to elect more communists, among other posts. What message do you think this conveys to New Yorkers, and how would you push back on this?”

Mamdani responded by directing attention to his own public statements and priorities as mayor.

Don Lemon Calls Churchgoers ‘Entitled White Supremacists’ Mob After Storms Their Church

Former CNN news host Don Lemon drew renewed criticism this week after making sweeping claims about religion, race, and American society, accusing certain religious groups of entitlement rooted in what he described as “white supremacy.”

Lemon made the remarks while discussing what he characterized as intimidation tactics used by religious conservatives, arguing that some believe the United States was built exclusively for white Christian men.

He framed the issue as both racial and ideological, asserting that this mindset marginalizes others and distorts the country’s founding principles.

“Is a certain degree of racism there, and there’s a certain degree of entitlement. I think people who are, you know, in religious groups like that, it’s not the type of Christianity that I practice, but I think that they’re entitled, and that that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a white supremacy, and they think that this country was built for them, that it is a Christian country, when actually, we left England because we wanted religious freedom,” Lemon said.

He continued by claiming that religious freedom in the United States is selectively applied.

“It’s religious freedom, but only if you’re a Christian and only if you’re a white male, pretty much. And so, yeah, I absolutely 100%, but it’s an intimidation tactic,” Lemon added.

Lemon, who previously hosted a prime-time program on CNN before being dismissed by the network, also reflected on how he has become a prominent figure in debates over race, sexuality, and politics.

Zohran Mamdani Appointee Calls to ‘Seize Private Property’ and Describes Home Ownership as White Supremacy

In a newly resurfaced video from 2018, Zohran Mamdani’s new ‘Tenant Advocate’ appointee in New York City, advocated for seizing private property and implied that home ownership is white supremacy.

She talks about how property is going to be collectivized and says it will mostly affect white people.

Do the people of New York City even realize what a completely insane band of radicals they have just put in power?

The New York Post reports:

Zohran Mamdani’s new NYC tenant advocate called to ‘seize private property,’ blasted homeownership as ‘white supremacy’

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed tenant advocate called to “seize private property” and blasted homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in a series of pro-Communist social media posts.

Cea Weaver, Mamdani’s new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, made the statements and urged her followers to elect more Communists in several lecturing posts on her now-deleted X account that were unearthed by internet sleuths.

“Seize private property!” she said on June 13, 2018.

“Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy,” she said then.

Weaver also pushed to “Elect more communists” in December 2017 — when a Harlem street corner was being renamed in honor of former Manhattan Rep. Vito Marcantonio, who was a Communist.

University Writing Center Rejected Proper English, Calling It “Linguistic White Supremacy”

There was a time when being a white supremacist meant something (for starters, that you were one in a million). Today, though, it appears that anyone can be a white supremacist. Why, all journalist Larry Elder had to do to become “the black face of white supremacy” was seek California’s governorship. And now all you need to do to become the linguistic face of white supremacy is uphold Standard American English (SAE).

That is, according to certain “intellectuals” — such as those at the Metropolitan State University of Denver’s (MSUD’s) Writing Center.

Yes, that’s right. Don’t dare tell students not to speak like a cross between Snoop Dogg and the rapist in the film Deliverance. Otherwise, you could be guilty of “anti-black linguistic racism.”

No, “Woke” Is Not Dead

Reporting on the story Monday, National Review (NR) wrote that MSUD’s writing center urged educators to dispense with SAE

in since-deleted materials published under its “Anti-Racist Practices for Your Classroom” guidance on the university’s website.

The writing center even rejected that SAE exists at all, and “fully support[s] students in using their English (whatever that may be) in communicating their thoughts and ideas,” according to a page that has since been removed from its website.

The center’s reasons for rejecting SAE include the assumption that there is a “correct” way to write, the implication that there is a “standard” when the United States does not have a regulating body, that SAE “is a social construct that privileges white communities and maintains social and racial hierarchies,” and that SAE privileges white society over other ethnicities.

Having gotten blowback, however, the university is now doing damage control. As NR also informs:

MSU Denver told National Review it is aware of the content and that it does not reflect the official policy of the university.

“The University has removed that content and is working with the Writing Center to review it to ensure alignment with the institution’s mission, values and academic best practices,” an MSU Denver spokesperson told NR. “MSU Denver remains committed to rigorous academic standards and preparing all students for success in life and careers.”

So that should be it for the story, right? Not exactly.

Tim Walz Lashes Out Blaming “White Supremacy” After Massive Minnesota Somali Fraud Exposed

A viral investigation into alleged misuse of Minnesota state funds has ignited a fierce public feud between Governor Tim Walz and independent journalist Nick Shirley, culminating in a heated exchange of accusations over the weekend.

Shirley’s 42-minute video report, which garnered over 100 million views on X, purportedly showed multiple state-funded daycare centers — receiving millions in taxpayer dollars — appearing closed or inactive during business hours.

In the wake of the report’s release, Governor Walz faced intense backlash after appearing to dismiss the findings on X, writing, “This is what happens when they scapegoat and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy.”

Critics immediately seized on the Governor’s comment, accusing him of using racially charged language to deflect from legitimate questions regarding the stewardship of public funds.

On Sunday, Shirley appeared on Fox News to directly address the Governor’s characterization, rejecting the “white supremacist” label as a political tactic used to silence dissent.

“If you have 100,000 people that will vote for you because you’re going to enable this stuff… and you’re going to call a white person racist for calling out facts, this is what’s going to happen,” Shirley told the host.

He further ridiculed the state’s oversight during the segment, remarking that the alleged fraud was “so obvious a kindergartner could figure it out.”

Meanwhile, Governor Walz’s office issued a formal statement responding to the allegations, asserting that his administration has “worked for years to crack down on fraud” and has already launched investigations into the specific facilities highlighted in the video.

The spokesperson emphasized that the administration has strengthened oversight mechanisms and previously closed one of the centers featured in Shirley’s report.

Despite the administration’s defense, the controversy continues to escalate, with federal authorities now signaling they are deploying additional resources to investigate the scope of the alleged fraud.

Insanity: Loyola University Maryland’s Department of English Claims Literature Promotes “White Supremacy”

In the latest insanity from liberal education, according to The College Fix, “Loyola University Maryland’s Department of English recently announced its commitment to ‘anti-racism,’ claiming literature promotes ‘white supremacy.”

The department of English proclaims on its website, “Literature and the literary canons have been used to validate “white supremacy.”

It’s clear that DEI and Woke ideology remain the dominant ideology at Loyola.

The department is even considering renaming the website.

The department also echoes Woke slogans like “black lives matter,” “racism is based in white supremacy,” and “confronting racism requires that we actively facilitate conversations about it in the classroom.”

This department is biased and has an anti-Western civilization bent in that it views Western and English literature as inherently bad.

The English department even made the absurd promise to “acknowledge the centrality of whiteness in the history and evolution of literary canons.”

The department pledges to “hire a professor of African American literature and include more authors of color in their curriculum. It will examine all classes and commit to “making anti-racist teaching central in each one.”

This sounds more like a struggle session than anything else.

They went even further than that, absurdly saying they would “avoid centering the experiences of white students” in the classroom by “interrogating the presumed invisibility of whiteness in the classroom and the concept of the ‘universal reader’ as always being white and male.”

Loyola University in Maryland was founded by the Jesuits, a Catholic order.

According to The College Fix, “The school’s English department sees that Jesuit mission as a “commitment to serving an urban, majority-Black city with a history of racial injustice.”

Even a Professor at Emory called out this Woke direction the school’s English department is headed in.

Prof. Bauerlein rightly argued, “The position of the Loyola department gives neat evidence for why English has become such a marginal discipline.”

Professor Claims Pro-Life Americans are a Bunch of White Racists

A professor at the University of Kentucky claims that the American pro-life movement is closely linked to white nationalism and political extremism in a book set to be published next month.

Campus Reform reported that Carol Mason’s From the Clinics to the Capitol: How Opposing Abortion Became Insurrectionary, set to be published in August by the University of California Press, argues that opposition to abortion has played a significant role in shaping what she describes as anti-democratic movements in the US and abroad.

According to the publisher’s description, the book contends that “white nationalism and authoritarian populism have taken hold in America under the guise of opposing abortion,” and that “antiabortion stories, images, and policies have primed Americans to embrace attitudes and politics once deemed extreme.”

Mason is a professor in the university’s Gender and Women’s Studies department. Her academic interests include “critical studies of whiteness,” “race and reproduction,” and “Right-Wing Movements,” Campus Reform reported.

In the book, she analyzes decades of pro-life materials, linking them to a range of ideological developments including Cold War conspiracies, religious fundamentalism, Tea Party populism, and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

It also claims that American pro-life activism has supported the “global rise of the Right” through tactics, personnel, and funding.

Karmelo Anthony’s spokesperson calls for unity ‘in the fight against White supremacy’ after first-degree murder indictment

A spokesperson for Karmelo Anthony, the now 18-year-old who admitted to fatally stabbing student Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet, has asked people to stand with them “in the fight against White supremacy.”

Dominique Alexander, the founder and president of the Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), took to X to announce that “the legal process will move forward toward trial.”

“This case involves multiple minors and sensitive details that I cannot and will not speak about publicly,” he said. “That is why, from the beginning, I have refused to let this be tried in the court of public opinion.”

He then continued by speaking directly to those who he says have “targeted” Anthony. 

“To the racists, the bigots, and those filled with hate who’ve targeted Karmelo, his family, and even myself – you do not intimidate us. We are not backing down.”

“This case is yet another example of what it means to be Black in America, where even our self-defense is questioned, scrutinized and politicized. My involvement – like many others — came as a direct response to the overwhelming hate, threats and outside influence that have surrounded this case since day one.”

Alexander concluded by asking Anthony’s supporters for prayers, to support due process, and to “stand with us in the fight against White supremacy.”

School board tells teachers ‘family’ is a white supremacist term

A school board distributed the teachings of a faculty member who was hired through a race-based initiative to tell staff that families are a product of white supremacy.

The faculty member, Dr. Laura Mae Lindo, focuses her research on “addressing social justice” and was hired at a local university through what is known as a “black hiring cluster.” The “equity-based” hiring initiative was for black and “Indigenous” people only, with Lindo being one of 10 ethnicity-based hires.

Given Dr. Lindo’s past discourses on “race in comedy” and the “whiteness” of philosophy, her teachings on families should come as no surprise.

Internal training documents obtained by True North reporter Melanie Bennet showed that not only were staff at the Waterloo Region District School Board in Ontario, Canada, given materials that said “family” is a white supremacist term but also that ideas like “objectivity” and a “sense of urgency” are part of a white supremacist culture, as well.

Professor says monuments to American pioneers ‘reinforce white supremacy’

A University of North Dakota history professor who studies the American West believes monuments depicting the pioneers “reinforce white supremacy.”

In an interview this week with KJZZ Phoenix, Cynthia Prescott (pictured) discussed her research on pioneer monuments, including a book that argues the artwork promotes “white cultural superiority” and “gender stereotypes.”

Much like with Confederate monuments, the professor said America should re-examine artwork honoring American settlers.

“A lot of people have talked about Confederate monuments in particular, as being monuments that were put up in the late 19th, early 20th centuries for the purpose of enshrining a racial hierarchy. And through my work, I argue that Western pioneer monuments were doing very similar cultural work,” she told KJZZ.

Prescott, who chairs the History and American Indian Studies Department, said the purpose of pioneer monuments was “to reinforce white supremacy over peoples of color.”
