New York City<\/a> Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> is pointing to stark racial wealth disparities \u2014 including a gap of more than $180,000 between White and Black households \u2014 to justify expanding diversity initiatives, raising taxes and cutting police positions.<\/p>\n

Mamdani last week released a 375-page “Preliminary Racial Equity Plan” that argues systemic racism is a key driver of those disparities, with White households holding more than $200,000 in median wealth compared to less than $20,000 for Black households.<\/p>\n

MAMDANI PLAN POURS MILLIONS INTO \u2018RACIAL EQUITY\u2019 OFFICES AND SIX-FIGURE DIVERSITY JOBS, CUTS 5,000 NYPD JOBS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Mamdani administration says the report will serve as a roadmap for future policy, including restoring diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs <\/a>and directing resources toward closing racial gaps in income, housing and education.<\/p>\n

The push aligns with Mamdani\u2019s broader $127 billion agenda<\/u><\/a>, which includes higher taxes on wealthy residents and corporations, a potential 9.5% property tax increase if state lawmakers do not act, and a reduction of roughly 5,000 NYPD officers.<\/p>\n

MAMDANI UNVEILS NEW \u2018RACIAL EQUITY PLAN\u2019 FOR MORE \u2018EQUITABLE FUTURE\u2019 THAT PROMPTS QUICK DOJ PUSHBACK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“This is not an indictment of any one New Yorker,” Mamdani said during a Tuesday press conference. “It is an indictment, however, of policies and politics that have persisted for far too long.”<\/p>\n

City officials described the plan as the first time a New York City administration has required major agencies to evaluate their work through a racial equity lens and identify disparities. The plan sets goals across seven areas, including the economy, housing, public safety, health and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The report traces racial disparities in the city back centuries, citing historical factors including colonization and slavery.<\/p>\n

The rollout quickly sparked pushback from conservatives and the Trump administration, which has sought to roll back race-based initiatives since taking power last year.<\/p>\n

“Sounds fishy\/illegal,” DOJ Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon posted on X. “Will review!”<\/p>\n

“Straight-up racism against White people,” the conservative influencer account Libs of TikTok posted on X.<\/p>\n

“The reality is Mamdani is implementing blatantly racist policies that reward and punish people based on their skin color,” conservative commentator Paul A. Szypula posted on X.<\/p>\n

The city has opened a 30-day public comment period as officials consider next steps.<\/p>\n

Mamdani’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
