Some may remember Leonard Jeffries for being the public face of academic racism and antisemitism in the 90s. His views seemed deranged then, but have long since become mainstreamed within academia and the Democrats.
Jeffries headed black studies at New York’s City College and had all sorts of exciting racist views.
Before his July 20, 1991 speech, Dr. Leonard Jeffries was already known for his teaching that blacks are racially superior to whites because blacks, whom he calls “sun people,” have more melanin in their skin than whites, whom he calls “ice people.”
In November, 1990, Dr. Jeffries organized the “Second National Conference on the Infusion of African and African-American Content in the High School Curriculum” in Atlanta. Over 1,000 predominately black educators from around the country attended. According to the November 26, 1990 New Republic, the Atlanta conference reflected “the conviction that all Western knowledge is a corruption of Egyptian, i.e. black African thought [and therefore] schoolchildren, black and white, should be taught everything from a black African perspective.”
Dr. Jeffries declares: “All of the human race is African. We know for a fact that the ancient Hebrews came into the Nile Valley. They came into an African context. Thesis, antithesis. They came in without ten commandments, they went out with ten commandments.”
Speaking at the taxpayer-funded Empire State Black Arts and Cultural Festival in Albany, New York in July 1991, Jeffries complained about a “systematic” and “unrelenting” attack “coming from the Jewish community,” against blacks. “Russian Jewry,” he stated, “had a particular control over the movies, and their financial partners, the Mafia, put together a system of destruction for black people.”
During the same speech, Jeffries said that he had once headed a Jewish fraternity in college. Boasting that he had then been known as “King of the Jews”. But according to the President of Greek Life at the college that Jeffries attended the school has never had a Jewish fraternity.
“Let me clarify my views,” Dr. Jeffries said, after a long exegesis on the role of Jews in the African slave trade, “if they say we are destroying Western civilization with our proposals, then I say let it happen quickly, because Western civilization is nothing more than an institutionalized, sophisticated form of barbarism.”
Jeffries came up recently when Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson turned out to have been part of the Harvard black students group that invited the racist to speak. But Jeffries has an even more direct connection at the top of the Democrat political establishment.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is under fire for defending his antisemitic uncle and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan after an op-ed he wrote in college over 30 years ago resurfaced this week.
After he was elected to Congress in 2013, Jeffries told the Wall Street Journal that he only had a “vague recollection” of the controversy surrounding his uncle, Leonard Jeffries — a former college professor and department chair of Black Studies at the City University of New York.
That was obviously a ridiculous lie. The Jeffries story was huge at the time and it was Hakeem’s uncle. Black nationalists are still furious about it. So there’s no way Hakeem was unaware of it. He was very aware.
“Do you think that a ruling elite would promote individuals who would seek to dismantle their vice like grip on power?” Jeffries wrote in the piece, published in the Black Student Union’s newspaper, The Vanguard.
“Dr. Leonard Jeffries and Minister Louis Farrakhan have come under intense fire,” Jeffries continued. “Where do you think their interests lie? Dr. Jeffries has challenged the existing white supremacist educational system and long standing distortion of history. His reward has been a media lynching complete with character assassinations and inflammatory erroneous accusations.”
Jeffries’ office maintained on Wednesday that he does not agree with his uncle’s view and believes in “bringing communities together.”
Louis Farrakhan. Enough said. But support for Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam and assorted black supremacists pervades politics and academia. Nearly every Congressional Black Caucus member, including Obama, had met with Farrakhan. And the House Dem Minority Leader used to cheer Farrakhan on.
After the story broke, House Dems lined up to defend Rep. Hakeem Jeffries including Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
“As native NYers, Leader @RepJeffries and I became fast, dear friends. I saw how he embodied the Jewish values of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and gemilut hassadim (giving love and kindness). While others foment antisemitism, Hakeem Jeffries always leads in the face of hate,” she despicably tweeted.
There’s no antisemitism that Jewish House Dems won’t enable.

Don’t worry the jino vote will still be D on election day.
They will dismiss or make excuses for this…for they have the proper liberal extremist credentials.

Great article, thanks Daniel.

Hello Dr.Greenfield, in your interesting and alarming article you say: “I saw how he embodied the Jewish values of tikkun olam (repairing the world) ”
Now that seems odd, as isn’t it the Hebrew scriptures themselves that warn us that is just what we cannot do – repair the world? Jeremiah, speaking under inspiration, wrote: “It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” – Jeremiah 10:23
And Genesis tells us that when our first parents decided to cut themselves off from their Creator, their Source of Life, they found they could not even keep themselves alive, let alone run this beautiful and complex planet. So how can we, their damaged and dying children, put things right?
Surely it is only our Creator, the God of Abraham, who can? And in his Inspired Word, he promises us that He will. Have any of His promises ever failed? They never have and they never will. Isn’t that the very meaning of His name?
Daniel Greenfield says
That’s a quote from a Democrat congresswoman defending Hakeem, not from me.
sue says
Hello Dr Greenfield, and thanks for the response. I just thought it odd she would see that as as Jewish value. Though for sure we can all try to make the world better by applying the Golden Rule – treating others with the kindness and respect we would want for ourselves – but we cannot repair the world. We cannot restore the link so fatally broken in Eden. And it is the Hebrew Scriptures that make that clear.
I suppose I ought to write to her really.

I first learned of these Marxist Communists that called themselves “Democrat Socialists,” while a student at SUNY Binghamton in the 1980’s. This group called themselves “Looking Left.” Looking Left is similar to the AOC Squad groups of today. There were also mainstream liberal/Democrat Party groups which allied themselves with Looking Left. Looking Left distributed the most insane Leftwing conspiracy theories. They hated Jews, Israel, and the US. Jeffries started at SUNY Binghamton just after I graduated. He was heavily involved with the Looking Left group. In my opinion, Jeffries appearance as a moderate is fake. He is really the radical Looking Left character.

“…their vice like grip…” Jeffries must be one of those “better educated” people Mickorn was talking about, that doesn’t know the difference between vice and vise. I love the way they wuz robbed of their great ideas by YT, and left with nothing. Stole ’em right out of their heads, lol.

I actually laughed out loud.
Debbie Washwomen Schultz, just as despicable as Nadler, Schumer, etc.
Hakeem embodies Jewish values? Hysterical.

Melanin, hunh? I notice black people get white skin rashes when they live in cold or even mild climates. They need skin lotion like us whiteys don’t. That doesn’t happen to us Ice People.
My girlfriends are all black, by the way, so spare me any accusations of racism.

I was thinking yesterday how their skin goes bad when they get older, even though they should have better protection against the sun. Must be something else going wrong, like DNA.

Purple lips. Damn, that guy is ugly.
And he isn’t half black. He’s half Indonesian. I used to live there and I know what they look like. Hell, I married one.
Mullatoes don’t have straight hair. He does. He keeps it cut very short to try to hide it that he doesn’t have nappy hair but he’s a phony. Mullatoes don’t have straight hair.
That punk isn’t black.

“There’s no antisemitism that Jewish House Dems won’t enable.” Your best line, Daniel!
commonsense says
Just a few months ago, all Jewish Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against the proposed removal of Jew-and-Israel hating Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Wasserman-Schultz was among those who voted to retain her. Wasserman-Schultz, her Florida cohort, Rep. Lois Frankel, and all the other House Democrats who are Jews have, by this action alone, shown how their avowed support for Israel and concerns about rising overt antisemitism ring hollow.

Statement: “Dr. Jeffries declares: “All of the human race is African. We know for a fact that the ancient Hebrews came into the Nile Valley.”
Question: If all the human race are African, where did all the ancient Hebrews come from?

Lawmakers Mum As Ticketmaster Doles Out Tickets For Farrakhan Hate Rally
Ticketmaster makes money off event where Farrakhan assailed ‘stranglehold that Jews have on this government’
The ticketing giant hated by Taylor Swift fans and everyone else who has ever tried to buy concert tickets is now under fire from Jewish activists for selling tickets to a Louis Farrakhan event in which the minister defended Adolf Hitler and predicted another Holocaust against Jews. But many of Ticketmaster’s biggest critics on Capitol Hill don’t seem to care.

We can see clearly the Superiority of the Negro over the Caucasian by looking over at 99% of the countries in Africa and EVERY single Negro American community from Coast to Coast and then look over at EVERY European country and EVERY single neighborhood across America that is mainly populated by European Americans..
Its a no brainier…
So why is there such a thing as ”black studies” or even African Studies as I certainly have never heard of White Studies or European Studies but would all of that not be included in the Studies of cultures around the World, in Geography, History etc?…
The Negro from the Caribbean, to the USA, to Africa is no more similar than the Caucasian from Germany, Britain, Italy, Australia, as people of the same Race does not mean group thought.
We have the United Negro College Fund, the NAACP for colored people, ”Traditional black colleges” but don’t you dare think of a United Caucasian College Fund nor a Traditional white college because that would oh so racist..
Black Americans want to separate from everybody else, Class Rooms, Cafeterias, National Anthem and Graduation Ceremonies while promoting some sense of superiority while forgetting that most of the things we are ALL using in our daily lives was invented created or discovered by Caucasian men or both the Christian and Jewish Faiths.
The truth hurts.
