I concede that the title of this blog looks pretty silly.
But is it? Read the following excerpt from Craig McCarthy’s article for the New York Post and then we’ll talk:
Mom of Zohran Mamdani aide who said owning a home fuels ‘white supremacy’ has $1.6M house in Tennessee
The mother of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new woke renters’ rights honcho — who’s dubbed homeownership “a weapon of white supremacy” — is a professor at a prestigious college and owns a beautiful Nashville home worth $1.6 million.
Celia Applegate — whose daughter, Cea Weaver is the director of Mamdani’s Office to Protect Tenants — teaches German studies at Vanderbilt University and owns a pricey classic Craftsman home just south of the main strip in Nashville, Tennessee.
Applegate bought the property with her partner, David Blackbourn, in July 2012 for $814,000 and real estate websites now list the pad’s value at more than $1.6 million, records show.
So tell me: is there any record of cea weaver objecting to her mother owning this home – where she has been living for almost 14 years?
And if you can’t show me any, then who was weaver talking about when she posted this comment, years after her mother bought the home?
“Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy.”
And if, knowing that “homeownership” is a weapon of White Supremacy, weaver does not object to her mother owning a home – especially one this far above the means of most people – what does that make her.
Now that we’ve got that settled I’m sure that, knowing this, Mayor mamdani will take steps to remove cea weaver from her newly appointed position.
I figure it will happen about a week after Nicolás Maduro announces he has changed his position on every issue, pledges unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump, and is immediately made our head of Homeland Security.
