Mamdani’s Independence Day message says more about his own politics than the country that gave his family extraordinary opportunity.
ohran Mamdani, New York’s self-described socialist mayor, could not resist using the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration to trash the very country that he and his parents voluntarily sought out.
As is his custom, Mamdani speaks in stereotypes and generalities, offering few if any examples, all laced with his accustomed unctuous hypocrisy.
Let’s deconstruct his incoherent July 4 riff:
America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit. How small they are. How weak, how unoriginal . . .
At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another.
Thus spoke the pampered rich kid from Uganda, who immigrated to America with his now-endowed professor father and elite filmmaker mother, the latter reportedly supported by millions of dollars in grants from the Qatari royal autocracy.
Upon arriving, the Mamdanis joined what is statistically America’s wealthiest and most highly credentialed ethnic group: the enormously privileged Indian American community. (But how was that possible in Mamdani’s version of a racist America that supposedly detests the wrong accents and skin colors?)
When this nepo baby includes himself among the supposedly “victimized” (“the rest of us”), should we laugh or cry?
If Mamdani wishes to invoke the tired Marxist oppressed-oppressor binary (“how small they are” versus “the rest of us”), then, by his own revolutionary vocabulary, he once belonged to a settler-colonial Indian expatriate elite.

Mamdani melodramatically alleges of America: “The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit. How small they are. How weak, how unoriginal.”
I would argue that the United States has asked nothing of the Mamdanis, much less demanded gratitude from a family whose books, films, and activism have consistently reflected anti-Americanism.
Far from demanding that the Mamdanis express gratitude for exchanging Uganda for America or begrudging their rapid rise to multimillionaire status, America might reasonably ask why Mamdani is so angry at the country that welcomed his family and afforded it such extraordinary opportunities. Why is he so eager to slander it as xenophobic and racist?
Does he think there is less opportunity—but more oppression, misogyny, and religious and racial intolerance—in America than in Uganda or India?
As for America’s past sins, some 165 years ago, roughly 700,000 mostly white Americans slaughtered one another in a war to abolish slavery—an ancient and evil institution that had brought ten times as many Africans to Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Latin America as to the American South, while more than 15 million others were sent into the Muslim world through slave trades facilitated by African rulers who sold rival tribes into bondage.

Typical democrats being typical democrats. Their hate of Americans Citizens and Israel’s existence would be worthy of a movie script ONLY but regrettably IS the democrats and rinos hate of Americans and Israelis. No movie script though. IS current real life in America.
The original “Usual Gang of Idiots” at MAD Magazine would’ve had a field day with Mamdani.
I’ll admit it - it’s extremely difficult for me to gaff what happens to NYC.
I’m sure he does.
Mandummy is a painful red carbuncle on the a$$ of NYC. His policies are alternatively derived from works of fiction and from Outer Space. They are the mental workings of someone who is culturally NOT a NYer, someone who is NOT of limited means, someone who has virtually no work experience or practical experience of any sort. So he has nothing in common with your average NYer. How arrogant then, is his incessant dictation of what people are to believe and what people are to do. Add to the mix his antisemitism and his hatred of Israel, and you have a dangerous mass which must be removed to save the health of the rest of the city. I firmly believe, reading of his constant ravings, that America is included on his “I Hate ___” list as well. His lovely wife is a metastasis of the corruption which began with him. May her plane be lost on her trip home from her hate fest. And may he happen to get “lost” somewhere.
Another racist socialist/communist. Democrats even had to change the term racist to not include a group in a majority……..because what they have advocated is clearly racist. Mandami is kind enough to tell you who he is, just so many in NYC are blinded by race baiting, communist propaganda, and democrat run media, they are incapable of perceiving it.
Math is against Mandami, he cannot deliver more with shrinking tax base and a plethora of corrupt officials with hands out. Yes, NYC, you’re headed towards Implosion and more damage is a guarantee as Mandami and his crooks dance ever tighter on a smaller financial pinheaded.
Actually conquest via immigration and high rates is a Muzz thing going back 1400 years. It comes from when Muhhamed was driven out of Mecca. Where Mo had no preaching success. Immigrated to Medina where he began his life of murder and conquest for war booty.
It is called Hijrah —— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijrah
a rich kid commie from rich commie parents
Who is 'they'? Talk about being small, this guy is a privileged gasbag whose primary political skills are divide to conquer and spouting the tired old failed economic philosophy of a man (Marx) who was of the heritage (Jews) that many of his political base want to kill. How weak and unoriginal.
Says the Ugandan with a different shade of skin who is mayor of America's largest city.
Zohran ISLAMamdani - D eceiver POS
Mandani it’s not stupid he just appeals to people who are
Mamdani graduated (?) from Bowdoin with a lowlife degree in useless “Africana Studies,”
then freeloaded most of his life living off taxpayers in subsidized housing,
a fitting start to his misbegotten life as a “ding-a-ling liberal,”
plus he flopped bigtime trying to be a “rapper” in “fun-filled” Uganda .......
Mandummy is a turd-sucker of the lowest order.
He is that....and more.
So outrageous......not to be believed.
Does Mamdani think that most of us in this country have any use for him & his family? I think most of us do not.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if someone were to hit something a bit more important than this pig fornicator’s ear with a 7.62 round!
