Are you really so IGNORANT you don't know that richer neighborhoods already pay higher taxes than poor neighborhoods and that poor neighborhoods are mostly minorities?

He is ONLY proposing to increase the EXISTING DISCREPANCY due to ABILITY TO PAY.

Nothing "racist" about acknowledging the FACT that minorities are poorer.

The only one that is racist here is you. You assumed that rich neighborhoods are white. Now why would you do that? Is it because you believe black people cant be rich?

If there is a stupid, immoral, dishonest, absurd, wrong, or disgusting position to defend, you can count on @robosmith to be there doing just that.

Prejudice is to make a judgement about someone before the evidence is available.

Therefore to tax someone based merely on race only is prejudice, for sure.

Sorry, are you talking to the loser who just got elected and is suggesting taxing white people more?  It was his idea, I never brought it up other than to quote him

Not all minorities are poor. And he specifically brought up white neighborhoods, not rich neighborhoods but white neighborhoods. It is 100% racist.

Yes, but by god you have to admire his consistency.  

[CdnFox]

The challenge with this kind of thing is it's spreads racism like wildfire. Especially when the guy goes out of his way to mention white neighborhoods. White people feel threatened and they start looking to turn to groups that don't hate them, those groups have a bad habit of hating other people.

This kind of thing is the worst possible thing America could do right now. At a time when they should be looking at building bridges and bringing people together you're finding new ways to drive wedges.

Voters are desperate for change which is why they can vote for a right-wing populist in one election and a left-wing candidate in the next. What they didn’t want was the status quo offered by the Democratic establishment - a disgraced, elderly politician backed by millions of dollars, much from right-wing sources. Mamdani sounded fairly out there on some proposals but he ran an energetic campaign, hardly surprising given the fact that he was literally half the age of his opponent. The Dems should have two priorities - to sweep away the gerontocracy and start listening to voters. 
 

Quote

With a relentless focus on the cost of living, a relatable online presence and an army of volunteers tens of thousands strong, Mamdani – who would be the first Muslim mayor in the city’s history – defied conventional wisdom that said Cuomo – the 67-year-old scion of a prominent New York political family with a massive war chest – was invincible. And he did it in a way that many Democrats from across the ideological spectrum believe might offer a roadmap for winning back the voters they have lost touch with, in the first major primary election since Donald Trump reclaimed the White House.

“The establishment, at this point, is suicidally clinging to a version of power it no longer even has,” said Amit Singh Bagga, a Democratic strategist and former New York City official. “We have made this choice to not evolve – and if you do not evolve, you will walk your party – and potentially our democracy – up to the brink of extinction.”

Huh...a native African wants to tax white people.

Go figure...

Can somebody correct the spelling of the person’s name in the thread title? It’s Mamdani with an ‘n’.

Can't, as far as i can see shy of deleting the whole thread and starting again. 

Unintentional mistake but we'll have to live with it i'm afraid.

I think you may be missing something. He may be actually picking up on Trump's strategy to troll, aggravate, and inflame.. for whatever reason. 

 

Of course his words will be taken literally by some, his supporters won't. And for Trump supporters they won't take Trump's words literally. 

So it's just tribes at this point.

I mean, we can boil this down to you completely ignoring the subject here and basically saying:

"But what about Trump?"

Tribes indeed.

That’s a design flaw in the forum. Most sites like this can do that.

Seems like it would be very risky to depend on his supporters being as loyal dupes as the MAGA CULT.

You should be abled to edit the title by editing the first post if you do it within the first day or so. Not sure what the time limit is.

Only that's not what the piece of shit is saying, stupid. He's saying whites should pay more taxes because he's a f*cking racist. He's also a communist and he hates this country. 

I'm hoping Congress investigates his ass and finds grounds to revoke his citizenship and kick his ass out of the country.

Agreed,  we can edit our posts but not the topic.  Frustrating but not much we can do about it. I usually try to be careful as a result but every now and then one sneaks past.

robokaren has been so busy yelling and stamping his feet at conservatives that he hasn't taken the time to assess his own racism.

Why would you need to assess it? It seems like it's strong as ever and working perfectly fine to me.

Yes. robocrow already knows that most of us know he's a racist, so that is a good point.

Well that's a completely limp comment.

When a relative unknown with no money thrashes a big beast like this it is well worth asking how it was done. Something dramatic happened here. Chris Hayes and Ezra Klein have quite a few thoughts on the matter:

Quote

The Democratic primary that just wrapped up in New York was a collision between two very different candidates on almost every level: ideologically, outsider versus insider and name recognition. But it was also a collision that I think matters, for much beyond New York City politics, of two very different theories of attention.Andrew Cuomo ran a campaign that was based on a tried-and-true strategy of buying attention. He had this gigantic super PAC with tens of millions of dollars purchasing all the advertising money can buy, absolutely dominating airwaves with negative ads about Zohran Mamdani.And then you had Mamdani, who was running a campaign on a very different theory of attention, a theory of viral attention, a campaign built on these vertical videos that, if you opened Instagram, if you opened TikTok, and you were in any way connected to his ideas or to New York City, this was all you saw.

Hayes has just written a book on attention. He thinks the outcome is significant far beyond New York.
 

Quote

 

To level set, this is someone who had zero attention on him who went to monopolizing attention in the race. I think the way he did it was viral videos. It’s the first time I’ve seen a Democratic candidate be totally native to the medium of our time, which is short vertical videos in the algorithmic feed.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/opinion/ezra-klein-show-chris-hayes.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Mamdani’s skill at making videos is hardly surprising given that his mother is a brilliant film-maker.
