New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed chief equity officer deleted a personal X account containing inflammatory posts disparaging white women shortly before taking her senior role in City Hall, according to materials reviewed by the New York Young Republicans Club, as reported by The New York Post.
The official, Afua Atta-Mensah, was appointed last week to lead the city’s equity initiatives.
Her now-deactivated account on X contained multiple posts and reposts criticizing “white liberal women,” endorsing radical rhetoric, and using language critics say conflicts with the mission of inclusion associated with her position.
In announcing the appointment, Mamdani said, “There is no one I trust more to advance racial equity across our work in City Hall.”
Mayor Mamdani on Thursday appointed his Chief Equity Officer and Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Equity & Racial Justice.
Her name is Afua and she’ll be putting forth a Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan.

Atta-Mensah had previously worked on Mamdani’s mayoral campaign and held roles with several social-justice organizations.
According to screenshots obtained by the New York Young Republicans Club, Atta-Mensah frequently referred to others as “comrade” and retweeted statements such as, “there’s NO moderate way to black liberation.”
RACISM: NYC’s new equity chief pushed race-based taxes and urged liberals to “tax them to the white meat.” Mamdani says he trusts her most to deliver racial equity. Believe him.

Among the resurfaced posts were multiple remarks critical of liberal white women. In one exchange responding to a post that read, “we don’t talk about white liberal racism enough,” Atta-Mensah replied, “Facts! It would need to be a series of loooooonnnnnnnggggg conversations.”
In another post from September 2024, she reposted a response to a thread asking, “Who’s not police but FEELS like police to you?” The reply read, “white women at nonprofit organizations.”
Atta-Mensah also responded to a post comparing white women to Amy Cooper, who became known as “Central Park Karen” in 2020 after calling police on a black birdwatcher.
“A lot of y’all are Amy Coopers to the Black women in your non-profits every day,” the original post read. Atta-Mensah replied, “THIS IS A WHOLE WORD!!!!”
A separate series of posts from 2021 showed Atta-Mensah reacting to commentary about the television show “Succession.”
Responding to a post that said the show made the user want to “tax these people to the white meat,” Atta-Mensah wrote, “Tax Them To The White Meat!!!” followed by a clapping emoji.
The X account was deleted within a week of Atta-Mensah’s Thursday appointment, according to the New York Young Republicans Club, which said it archived the posts before they disappeared.
We have the receipts and we are here to win. These tweets by Afua Atta-Mensah are just the tip of the iceberg and New York is not going down without a fight.

The deletion occurred as Mamdani’s administration was already facing scrutiny over social media comments by another senior aide, tenant advocate Cea Weaver.
Weaver’s past posts included calls to “seize private property,” statements that “Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership, is a weapon of white supremacy,” and remarks saying, “The Police Are Just People The State Sanctions To Murder W[ith] Immunity.”
Mamdani stood by Weaver despite the backlash. His office told The Post it does not direct appointees to delete their social media accounts.
City Hall did not respond to requests for comment regarding Atta-Mensah’s deleted posts.
Critics accused the administration of attempting to avoid further controversy by quietly removing Atta-Mensah’s online history.
“Zohran’s team tried to be more careful after the Cea Weaver disaster, but we caught Atta-Mensah before she could scrub her digital footprint,” said Stefano Forte, president of the New York Young Republicans Club.
“Anti-white racism is a feature, not a fringe problem, of Mamdani’s inner circle,” Forte said.
“The mayor said there is no one he trusts more than Atta-Mensah to push ‘racial equity,’ and make no mistake: tweets about taxing ‘white meat’ reflect the approach of the entire Mamdani administration to reshape New York.”
