Zohran Mamdani campaigned on a promise to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods”. His tenant official Cea Weaver tweeted that she wanted to “impoverish the *white* middle class” because “homeownership is racist”, declared that “private property is a weapon of white supremacy” and warned that, “we’ll transition from treating property as an individual good to a collective good. Whites especially will be impacted.”
Now Mamdani has shown the first sign of implementing these systemically racist proposals.
Hidden at the bottom of the first page of his proposals to increase revenue through various gimmicks and taxes is a call to increase the estate tax “by lowering the exemption to $750,000 from its current value of $7.1 million” and massively raising the “top rate from 16% to 50%.”
Why specifically $750,000? Why is that the magic number? The proposal doesn’t explain but the demographics do: New York is already one of the few states with its own estate tax. Mamdani’s proposed changes to the state estate tax would make it the state that taxes middle class homeowners the hardest.
While a $750,000 house in many parts of the country might be a mansion, it’s the average price of a home in New York City. The median selling price of a house in New York City in recent years has been between $764,000 and $800,000. The official community survey figure is at $778,600. That means Mamdani’s estate tax would hit more than half of homeowners.
“Under Hochul and Mamdani’s death tax of 50%, children will lose half the value of their parents’ home and family businesses will have to be sold off just to pay this cruel tax,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman,a New York Republican official who’s running for governor, warned.
“With property values where they are today, families could be forced to sell the very homes they hoped to pass on to their children,” Councilman Phil Wong, a Democrat, warned.
The numbers are actually worse than 50% because within New York City, as many as 90% of homes will be hit with Mamdani’s confiscatory tax, as many as 60% of homes in Brooklyn and Queens, but fewer than a quarter in other boroughs. This matches Mamdani’s campaign promise to shift the tax burden towards white homeowners in inner boroughs.
But the real issue for the racially obsessed Mamdani administration is always race. And the estate tax proposal is specifically geared to target and seize the homes of white homeowners.
Not only do Asians (44%) and white people (41%) have the highest homeownership rates in the city compared to black (27%) and Hispanic (17%) residents, but the American Community Survey median home value rates for white homeowners perfectly match Mamdani’s ‘magic number’ of $750,000. Call it Zohran Mamdani’s ‘owning a home while white’ tax.
The $750,000 number was featured in the New York City comptroller’s report on the ‘Racial Wealth Gap in New York City’. Brad Lander, the comptroller at the time, is a key Mamdani ally who connived to help him become mayor. The report was promoted by other Mamdani allies.
It is wildly implausible that the Mamdani administration was unaware of a key DEI report or that it played no role in the planning of a self-consciously DEI and equity focused administration.
Mamdani campaigned on taxing white homeowners. A key housing official talked of eliminating white homeownership. And the administration put forward an estate tax that is an exact match for the median white home values in a report produced by one of Mamdani’s closest allies.
Cases for systemic racism have been made based on a fraction of these ‘coincidences’.
Targeting white homeowners with a massive estate tax will help ensure that they will be unable to pass on their homes to their children. The more homes the Mamdani government can seize and then ‘socialize’, the closer it will come to, as a Mamdani housing official said, turning homes into “a collective good” in which “whites especially will be impacted.” That’s systemic racism.
The Justice Department and the Department of Housing and Urban Development have investigated alleged ‘racial’ housing practices in the past for which a fraction of the evidence for any kind of racial intent existed that it does for Mamdani’s white homes tax. But more recently, they’ve been taking a closer look at DEI discrimination in the urban policies of major cities.
In December 2025, HUD had warned Boston’s racist Wu administration that their DEI program pushing racial preferences violates civil rights laws. Boston’s program utilized “the percentage of ‘residents who are non-white’ to identify ‘high-risk’ areas worthy of public investment.”
The Mamdani administration promised to do the inverse of that in New York City, identifying white neighborhoods to tax higher rates. After initially denying that he intended to do this, “it’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment”, Mamdani chose a tenant official who had urged eliminating white homeownership, and has now come out with an estate tax proposal that matches the median home value for white homeowners from his own ally’s report.
While the proposal has to be moved forward by Gov. Hochul and state Democrats in Albany to become law, the DOJ and HUD have every reason to closely scrutinize this proposal and to warn New York State Democrats that adopting Mamdani’s ‘white homes’ estate tax risks triggering a civil rights investigation.
Mamdani’s tax proposal is his first effort to follow up on his promise to tax white homeowners and white neighborhoods harder. Even if this racist proposal does not move forward, the next one might. That’s why the Justice Department needs to impose close monitoring on the policies of this systemically racist administration where officials have promised to not only discriminate by race, but to eliminate homeownership in general and white homeownership specifically.
There is no room for Mamdani’s racist campaign against white homeowners in America.
It’s not up to the Justice Department to stop the New York Madman – he has been elected (honestly, one assumes) by a majority of his constituants, so let them deal with the consequences of their action.
Half of NYC residents weren’t born in America
Neither were my grandparents.
His plan is to run real Americans out of NY and replace them with Islamic gehadists. To make NYC like Dearborn Mich.
Unfortunately, many whites voted for Mamdani. Yes, they (and their children?) deserve to live with what they created, but they won’t. They will move to Florida and try to elect Mamdanis there too.
Again please research before posting. Many Muslim immigrants were sent to live in NYC to vote. I think they’re at 1 million now and they voted. Young women and gays voted Mandani. Native NYers did not.
But let’s look beyond the Democrat machine and vote fraud that allows Democrat to win and look at the alternative candidates. Cuomo may have won if Sliwa dropped out but to Sliwa it’s all a game so he did not.
And Cuomo is of covid infamy and yet was the best hope! Wow! It almost seemed like a political set up.
Blaming millions of NYers, including a large Jewish population, is a form of hatred that’s uncalled for.
Take out the white angle and what you have is a plan old fashioned hardcore Marxist. But hey, the people of NYC voted for that Marxist looney tune so they’re getting what they voted for. even if it means getting it up the wazoo.
So don’t whimper and don’t cry NYC’ers. Just drop your shorts, bend over and spread’em and keep a stiff upper lip while getting schlonged by Mamdani and his minions.
And is it just me or is Moron Imamdani white as fuck? As if India is a separate race. Yeah, they smell worse than whites of European extraction but so do Ayrabs.
india is asian – not euro
Indians and Pakistanis are Caucasian.
Zohran Mamdani Dada would be or is considered white
1) Per U.S. law for census
2) in India and upper caste/class too
3) In Africa
He woul be considered white just about anywhere in the world except in most Leftist circles
It’s fun, isn’t it, to curse at the people outvoted by a Democrat machine and Muslims and young leftists? .The young voters are so brainwashed by our leftist education system and media that they vote for any Democrat and don’t know they are in groups usually abused by the likes of Mandani’s ideology.
The remainder of the people, who own homes and business and may have generations of history in NYC, are getting the shaft and it’s all because of the left-Islamic alliance and a lack of accurate information.
But go ahead, hate your fellow Americans. Btw, your town and your turn is next,
Muslim-Marxist takeover of a major city is much more difficult if
there is a strong, confident middle class – so Mamdani must
destroy it. Not to mention that his underlying goal of destroying
White Western civilization must be accomplished as well.
What better way to destroy the middle class than making sure
their life investment of home ownership cannot be passed on to
their children. And they are left with nothing.
As for treating private property as a collective good rather than
as an individual good – what does that mean exactly? It means
that if you don’t privately own something – whether your house
or the clothes on your back – someone else will. That someone
is the people who comprise the government. They will decide
how to dispense it, distribute it – and personally profit from it.
The pursuit of your own happiness will be non-existent – because
Muslim-Marxists will forcibly insist that you will own nothing and
you will be happy.
Meanwhile, the Mamdanis will remain FILTHY RICH themselves….
The same middle class that worships at the altar of diversity, tolerance, and “just be nice” attitude?
Fuck them.
If they are not willing to vote for unapologetically hardcore patriots, who will have no use for foreigners and no limits on the language they will use, I have no sympathy.
That means voting for people who will protect their interests. Even if they are considered racists. Even if they are considered Islamaophobes, even if they are mean people who will starve illegal aliens and their children.
If a ‘New Yorkers against Mamdani’ petition to remove him and his army of appointed accomplices from office were signed by at least a million and a half New York City voters who view him as an obvious treacherous menace and existential threat to the well-being, independence and literally physical safety of the citizens of New York, in blatant violation of the American foundational principles of government, using his power with malicious, purposefully destructive biased intent, could be presented to governor Hochul, would she have the guts to remove him from office?
Would the movement to remove him gain traction with the right organizers and city personalities to unite
inter-generational families of New Yorkers against him? Mamdani’s a home breaker. He’s for the dissolution of the American family.
Stopping Mamdani in his tracks and strengthening the inter-generational American family may be the only way to stop a mid term election disaster, as well as a 2028 disaster, from happening.
Very good idea. Great thinking. It needs organization and backers.
A paean to NYCERS:
The warmth of collectivism:
🎶🎶Getting what you voted for
Getting what you voted for
Getting what you voted for
Good and hard🎶🎶
I’m really torn on this one. On one hand, New Yorkers are getting just what they voted for, a racialist, Marxist, Islamic regime. I guess they didn’t realize that when he talked about the “unfairness” of “inherited wealth” and “economic inequality” he was talking about taking away THEIR wealth and giving it to other people. Too stupid to live if they didn’t understand that. On the other, this would wipe out the value of the main asset many people have had and maintained their entire lives and wanted to pass on to their children, including of many who did not vote for him. And I feel awful for them. I guess there are a couple of lessons : 1) get off your butt and go out and vote; and 2) don’t vote “Democratic Socialists.” The “Democratic” part just means they prefer to come to power through elections rather than violent revolution while the “Socialist” part means they still want to steal your stuff.
NY does not have a Recall for NYC Mayors! Only the Governor can remove a Mayor so the SANE residents of NY had better rally and elect the Republican candidate so that SANITY might be re-established in NYC! Time takes a toll on everything and Snake Pislken is too old to ride to the rescue!
Zohran Mamdani Dada is not civilized. He is a savage.
You cannot propose harmful action over an over gain and laugh it off.
If you keep saying the n-word and say you did not mean it. Well,maybe you are an out and out racist!
If you keep proposing or implementing racist and socialist polices that make no good sense accounting-wise or psychology-wise, you cannot be counted a member of civil society.
Hochul is in a panic begging wealthy New Yorkers to return there and it is as though the alternate reality embodied by both her and Mamdani’s Marxist delusion is falling upon deaf ears.
Those who want the destruction of home ownership are those whose identities rest upon multiple pillars demanding the massive appropriation of someone else’s wealth fomented in the bowels of their blatant anger, covetousness, envy, jealousy, hatred and revenge.
Electing Mamdani has been the ruse used by this hateful Islamist to begin the wholesale subjugation of a highly populous city and to facilitate the further infiltration of Islamists there.
Previously, immigration to the U.S. was a strict process and those arriving had to be in good health with someone here to act as their sponsor. Housing, medical care, a living stipend and food stamps were non-existent and your success in becoming a citizen here was an arduous process. Part of it required showing your ability to provide for yourself and your learning to speak at minimum functionally evident English as well as reading and passing a very thorough test of our constitution and form of government. Today, our years of open borders have resulted in us accommodating foreigners with no desire to become loyal to our culture and laws. We are now nothing more than the giant, ever-available teat that these masses feel themselves entitled to endlessly suck from and they do not care who gets fleeced along the way. Wealthy New Yorkers and businesses are already fleeing so the heat on Mamdani is to effectively find monies from other peoples’ efforts. The financial liquidity of the wealthy is sadly unavailable to the middle class for whom their homes are their major investment. Selling it and moving? Who in their right mind will want to buy their homes so they can move elsewhere? No one who can do any kinds of rational financial computations. NYC is now a landscape primed for the financial theft of it’s taxpaying residents who will soon have property legally confiscated as the increase in taxation becomes unaffordable for them.
I will say this, fundamentally we should stop any immigration here for at least 49 years. We have years of deportations to go and more importantly we have to stop the fraudulent grifting of the REAL American taxpayers. Where Americans were once pretty welcoming of people to our country, WE DON’T WANT IT ANYMORE!!
we know the iizzylamo NYC mayor Maddummy is headed for riches by corruption like all demoncRats.
Those who get wealthy do so by also providing jobs.
They may be doctors or lawyers or plain entrepreneurs. They worked for their financial success.
To maintain this wealth, they have to keep investing and be serial entrepreneurs.
All of this provides for jobs and opportunities for others.
Some are locked into NYC to run their enterprises.
Did these upper middle class vote for the NYC mayor?
Fuck the white middle class New Yorkers. They voted for Mandami. They would vote against anyone who criticized him if he yelled “racist!” or “Islamaphobe!” at them. They would rather appease rioters than shoot them.
Let them stew in their own juices. At least until they unapologetically vote for someone who will represent their interests and don’t care what the minorities say or think.
In part, what we’re seeing is Republicans abandoning big cities to radical Democrats. They’ve given up even trying. The damage done by the lefties is obvious to anyone with half a brain, but there’s no one left in these cities to point it out.
New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Charlotte, etc., etc, they’re getting what they voted for.
Unfortunately, what happens in New York doesn’t stay in New York.
Yeah, I noticed that many decades ago, the Republicans abandoned the SF Bay Area to the Democrats. There was no point in putting money into campaigns that were certain to lose.
The world I grew up in was wiped out long ago.
This is what Communism looks like in practice
I would guess that the “white homeowners” probably didn’t bother voting in the mayoral election. That’s on them now. They can redeem themselves by organizing and getting actively involved in putting a stop to Mamdani’s outrageous proposal. A do nothing posture is what will transform NYC into the Islamo-Marxist rat’s nest Mamdani is fully committed to bringing about.
Gotta give Zohran credit for one thing, he’s honest.
He ran and won as an islamic Marxist.
He is doing exactly what he said he was going to do.
Welcome to the Rotten Apple -New Yuganda City
Not far different from a dhimmi tax, and about as fair. I guess some people of colour might get away with being non-Muslims, though.
Madummies plan is to run real Americans out of NYC and replace them with Islamic terrorist.
