Why we used this label

The case concerns Cea Weaver's remarks tying homeownership and private property to white supremacy. Korchak said it is an insult to every immigrant who came to the United States to say that owning property is racist, and elsewhere in the article she called Weaver's language insulting. That expressly criticizes the remarks, so we labeled it Condemned.
