A Democratic Socialists of America-endorsed congressional candidate has a history of publicly making racist remarks against white women, once ridiculing them as “ugly colonizer women.”
Darializa Avila Chevalier, a former organizing lead for Mayor Mamdani’s campaign in Upper Manhattan and The Bronx, slammed men of color for engaging in interracial relationships in a Feb. 2019 post on Twitter, now X.
“Black men [handshake emoji] Arab men fetishizing ugly colonizer women,” the post stated.
Chevalier, 31, who is running in the Democratic primary against incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat to represent Harlem’s 13th Congressional District, also boasted about slamming the door on an “old white lady.”
“I held the door on an old white lady at Popeyes… Her: is that a BDS shirt? Me: Yes, she wrote, referring to the “Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions” campaign against Israel and Israeli-owned businesses, “Her: Do you know what they do to– Door closed before I could find out what they do” she wrote on X in Sept. 2019.
District 13, which encompasses Harlem, Washington Heights and parts of the Bronx, is 24% black, 17% white and over 50% Hispanic according to the most recently available US Census data.
The lefty firebrand committed to abolishing prisons, and legalizing prostitution and the private consumption of all drugs, according to her DSA candidate questionnaire.
“I am an abolitionist and oppose reform that entrenches the expansion of the carceral state, I will support steps to reduce its impact and support reforms that meaningfully address the root causes of harm in our communities through prevention as well as reparative and restorative justice programs,” she said.
The socialist also called for government-run farm cooperatives, reminiscent of the farm programs of Stalin and Mao.
“[The federal government] should create government-run agricultural cooperatives to tackle awful labor and environmental practices, as well as the immense food waste in our system,” she told The DSA.
The aspiring congresswoman is a former anti-Israel activist at Columbia University from 2012-2016, where she worked with the now-suspended group Students for Justice in Palestine and started the movement to divest from Israel, she told the DSA.
Chevalier also helped lead the “tentefada” encampments on the school grounds that terrorized Jewish students, which led to a Trump administration lawsuit against the university that resulted in a historic $221 million settlement.
Chevalier claimed she converted to Islam three years ago at a March 6 speech at the Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Queens, headed by radical Sheikh Fadhel Al-Sahlani, who has denied the Holocaust and praised Hamas’ barbaric Oct. 7, 2023 attacks
The political newcomer outraised her opponent $270,000 to $230,000 in the first quarter of the year, Federal Election Commission records show.
Chevalier, who is running on a platform calling for the abolishment of Immigration Customs Enforcement and ending U.S. military support for Israel, is so opposed to the Jewish state she even criticized socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) for not being pro-Palestine enough.
“It’s a litmus test for the crazies at DSA, you have to check all the boxes, ‘have you terrorized Jewish students at Columbia University? Check,’ ‘How do you feel about white people? Hate them? great,’ these are the people taking over the Democratic Party,” political analyst and professor at Mount St. Vincent JC Polanco told The Post.
“If every other word you use in a sentence isn’t ‘colonizer,’ you’re not going to do well in the Democratic primary. To talk about black and Arab men with this terminology is terrible,” he added.
Chevalier did not return a request for comment.
