News about Louis Farrakhan

After being the mediator between police and Rudy Farias, a 25-year-old man who was mistakenly reported missing by his mother in 2015, a Houston civil rights activist found himself at the forefront of national coverage. Many observers were left wondering what role community activist Quanell X was playing in the meeting between Janie, Rudy, and police, after which the activist said the young man was sexually assaulted by his mother. Quanell told DailyMail.com Santana contacted her to inform her that she had been convicted of a felony unfairly as rumors of her case surfaced.

Since defending Professor Leonard Jeffries in a newly discovered op-ed from his time in college, Hakeem Jeffries has been "clearly" that he does not reveal his uncle's anti-semitic views. "I've made it clear that I did not endorse any of the controversial views that were voiced by my uncle more than three decades ago, not now.' Not ever. Jeffries, D-N.Y., said in reaction to a query from DailyMail.com, and "either significant" is also significant. "I've said, my track record and public service, as well as the black and Jewish communities that proudly represent in Brooklyn, are among the many communities in which I work.'

DAVIS: Jeffries writes these resurfaced essays in the hope of bringing an end to the 'existing white supremacist educational system and long-standing historical distortion.' The backlash was described by the author as 'high-tech lynchings.' And that's not all. When the Black Student Union at Binghamton University invited Leonard Jeffries to speak at the school Hakeem, then an executive board member of the student union, was all for it! A Jeffries' column not only condemned his uncle's right to speak (I'd like to hear him speak out against conservative speakers on campus today), but also slammed black Americans in a threatening way. We now live in dangerous times. Political divisiveness is giving way to political violence. We need cool heads in Congress, smart leaders who can articulate passionate opposition without preaching hatred. I find this appalling as a black American and a centrist.

Professor Leonard Jeffries, the minority leader's Black studies professor, was subjected to backlash in the 1990s after making remarks about the participation of 'rich Jews' in the slave trade and the promotion of Jewish leaders as part of a scheme, planned and executed out of Hollywood' to denigrate Black Americans in films. In 1992, Jeffries wrote an article defending his uncle and the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan while a Binghamton University undergraduate. After the scandal, the Black Student Union, in which Jeffries was a member of the executive board, had welcomed the university professor to speak out. The younger Jeffries began his column by alerting that the "rise of the black conservatives" will threaten to'sustain the oppression of the black masses,' referring to Justice Clarence Thomas' confirmation. According to a copy of the paper that was unearthed by CNN, he likened black Republicans to 'House n*****s' who'sought to imitate the white master.'

With his Mar-a-Lago meeting with Fuentes and West, incoming Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who is no stranger to criticizing Trump, accused him of 'empowering' militants. Trump'needs better judgment in who he dines with,' said House Majority Leader James Comer.' They're just the two most recent Republican voices to speak out against the meeting - a strong condemnation of a party leader who recently declared his intention to run for the White House in 2024. After the three dined together at his Palm Beach resort last week, Trump is being chastised for associating himself with far-right activist Fuentes and the disgraced rapper, both men who have promoted antisemitism and hatred.
