New York Citys hard-left leadership is once again under fire after Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdanis newly appointed chief equity officer, Afua Atta-Mensah, was exposed for a series of racially charged social media posts targeting white liberals, particularly women.
According to The Post Millennial, the controversy erupted after posts from Atta-Mensahs now-deactivated X account resurfaced within days of her appointment. The New York Post reported that Atta-Mensah, whom Mamdani hailed as his most trusted choice to drive racial equity in City Hall, had shared and amplified a stream of inflammatory political content before abruptly deleting her account roughly a week after taking the job.
Among the material flagged by the New York Young Republicans Club were multiple posts disparaging liberal white women, a key constituency of the modern Democratic coalition. In one exchange, Atta-Mensah endorsed a tweet declaring, we dont talk about white liberal racism enough, replying, Facts! It would need to be a series of loooooonnnnnnnggggg conversations.
She also reposted part of a thread asking, Whos not police but FEELS like police to you? and boosted a response that singled out white women at nonprofit organizations. In another instance, she reacted enthusiastically to a tweet likening certain white women in nonprofit spaces to Amy Cooper, the infamous Central Park Karen who called police on a black birdwatcher in 2020, responding: THIS IS A WHOLE WORD!!!!
Atta-Mensahs online footprint further revealed a pattern of radical rhetoric steeped in class warfare and hard-left activism. She frequently used the term comrade, amplified a declaration that there is NO moderate way to black liberation, and in 2021 echoed a Succession-inspired call to tax the wealthy to the white meat, responding, Tax Them To The White Meat!!! with a clapping emoji.
Despite this record, Mamdani publicly celebrated her appointment, saying, There is no one I trust more to advance racial equity across our work in City Hall, and praising her as someone who has dedicated her career to serving the New Yorkers who are so often forgotten in the halls of power. His office insisted to the press that it had not instructed appointees to scrub or delete their social media accounts, even as Atta-Mensahs vanished almost immediately after scrutiny began.
The uproar over Atta-Mensah follows closely on the heels of another personnel scandal involving Mamdani ally and tenant activist Cea Weaver. Weaver had openly called to seize private property, branded homeownership a weapon of white supremacy, and posted anti-police statements, yet Mamdani stood by her despite public backlash and concerns about extremist ideology driving policy.
Zohrans team tried to be more careful after the Cea Weaver disaster, but we caught Atta-Mensah before she could scrub her digital footprint, said New York Young Republicans Club President Stefano Forte, accusing the mayors inner circle of tolerating anti-white racism.
For many conservatives, the episode underscores a broader problem in progressive governance: a City Hall more interested in ideological crusades and racial grievance than in equal treatment under the law, public safety, and the basic responsibilities of municipal leadership that President Trumps supporters have long argued are being neglected in Democrat-run cities.
