New York’s Racial Equity Plan Shows Democrats Haven’t Learned a Thing
9th April 2026
Remember when New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on the campaign trail that he wanted to increase taxes on richer, “whiter” residents? It seems he meant what he said.
That much should be obvious following New York Mamdani’s announcement on Monday that he’s going forward with a so-called Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan.
The plan released by the mayor’s office says that “New York’s history has been one of colonization, exploitation, and racial oppression.”
It’s striking that a Muslim man born to Indian parents in Uganda, who only became a U.S. citizen in 2018 and yet is now mayor of the nation’s largest city, sees no irony in condemning New York’s history of “colonization.” But that’s just how it is on the Left. Only some colonizers are the bad ones.
