Nephew of Hardcore Black Racist Leonard Jeffries, Hakeem Jeffries, Says Democrats Won't Work with Trump's New CoS Stephen Miller Because He Gives Them the Ick

They just want to make eggs more affordable.

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that his party will not work with Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's new chief of staff, during an appearance on ABC's "This Week" Nov. 8.

"There's not going to be any opportunity, certainly, to work with Stephen Miller and what he represents," Jeffries said.

Miller was tapped to replace former chief of staff Susie Wiles on Nov. 6 and will step into the role on Nov. 9.

He is a long-time advisor to Trump, dating back to his first term, and the top architect of the Trump administration's anti-immigration crackdown.

I just want to point out that this racist grifter's racist grifter uncle pushed the most absurd of black racist conspiracy theories and antisemitc claims.

But he worked with Uncle Leo.

The president of City College said yesterday that he considered Dr. Leonard Jeffries Jr.'s conduct "racist" and "anti-Semitic," but had decided not to dismiss him as chairman of the black studies department because it would "deepen the sense of crisis on campus."

The president, Dr. Bernard W. Harleston, said Dr. Jeffries's dismissal would have produced "conflict," both within the college, where the faculty senate is insistent upon the principle of academic freedom, and in the Harlem community around the college where Dr. Jeffries has supporters.

Still, Dr. Harleston said, Dr. Jeffries's behavior was "particularly offensive to me." He said he told Dr. Jeffries that, but declined to disclose the conversation.

In an hourlong interview, Dr. Harleston provided the first extended explanation of his handling of Dr. Jeffries, whose speeches and comments have set off a widespread and emotional debate both about the correctness of his claims and his right to make them in the name of academic freedom.

Dr. Jeffries attracted public attention with a speech at a state-sponsored cultural conference in Albany in July. In that speech, he accused Jews of financing the slave trade and disparaged Russian Jewry for Hollywood's portrayal of blacks. He also described a colleague as City College's "head Jew" and described Diane Ravitch, an assistant United State Secretary of Education, as a "sophisticated Texas Jew."

The New York Times, of course, refuses to tell its readers exactly what this hateful racist was ignorantly preaching.

The defunct liberal propaganda magazine Time showed a little leg on Jeffries' claims:

The professor offered the following observations:

-- "Russian Jewry had a particular control over the movies, and their financial partners, the Mafia, put together a financial system of destruction of black people." This was "a conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood" by "people called Greenberg and Weisberg and Trigliani . . ."

-- "Rich Jews" operating in Seville and Lisbon and Hamburg and Newport, R.I., and other cities financed the African slave trade.

-- Whites are "pathological," "dirty," "dastardly, devilish folks."

Leonard Jeffries, chairman of African-American studies at New York's City College, put on a surreal performance. For long stretches of his speech before an Empire State Black Arts and Cultural Festival in Albany last month, Jeffries made an intense and affecting case for blacks to study African history and learn the buried side of their own stories in America. But he kept veering obsessively back into a snarling racism. Strange to watch: the intelligent angels of his nature were wrestling with nasty little cretins. The cretins won a few rounds.

Diane Ravitch, Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education, is a "sophisticated Texas Jew," Jeffries said, "a debonair racist." He repeatedly called her "Miss Daisy." Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who has written against Afrocentrism, is "a weakling . . . slick and devilish." White people, including "very nice white folks," "distort history in what I call racial pathology. They are as diabolical as that." Jeffries sang out falsetto imitations of various Jews and other whites, manic little strokes of mockery and emasculation. Through it all, he invoked the liberating powers of truth. When he was finished, the audience gave him a rather tired standing ovation. He had gone on for almost two hours.

Whenever you hear ignorant black fake academics talking about melanin granting blacks superpowers, or claiming it was really blacks who built the pyramids but then rewrote history to deny them credit for the wonders of the ancient world -- that all comes from Jeffries and his completely-fabricated alt-history conspiracy theory "Afrocentrism."

Meanwhile, via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit. the Very Smart and Educated left is digging up dirt on Stephen Miller, including the scandalous fact that he was skeptical of the Duke Rape Hoax claims.

These very smart members of the Reality Based Community somehow missed the word "hoax" in "Duke Rape Hoax."






Driscoll links an old video from Mary Katherine Ham where she takes you on a tour of the non-crime-scenes involved in the non-rape-scandal.

I'm sure Jeffries' unpersoning of Stephen Miller has nothing at all to do with him being Jewish.

22 In previous thread noted the vile barbarity of several Dem congresscritters, who keep chanting Miller "has blood on his hands". Posted online statements.

Miller and family live on a military base because they wouldn't be safe living out in the world. Senior presidential advisor, now chief of staff (and he/his family aren't the only Trump admin. senior people who have to shelter on military facilities, unable to live in the regular world).

Of course rivers of blood cover the idiot Dems (and their voters, and much of the garbage GOP) here. How many 10s of thousands (100s?) of murders, assaults, rapes, etc committed by illegal aliens who not only shouldn't be here at all, but are sheltered by Dem electeds, cowardly/useless "law enforcement", et al. Released from jail time and again, ICE detainers ignored.

Miller & Co. - simply enforcing the law. Idiots and illegals resisting arrest/interfering with LE get treated just as they are in any other situation. Their blood is on their *own* hands, obviously.

I guess I'm not surprised that black racists would assume everyone in Africa is black. It is not like they have ever visited or moved there, but it remains their talisman that keeps them from facing reality. Pssst--don't tell them Cleopatra was Greek. That might cause their heads to explode.

If blacks in Sub-Saharan Africa built the pyramids, then what happened to them since then?

I suppose it's colonialism and the African slave trade (mostly from West Africa) that ruined them?

Well africans do actually own slavery at least the slaves that went to the British empire and the Americas.


Those slaves most certainly did gather together and walk up to the slave ships at the docks to turn themselves in. They were rounded up by their stronger black brother tribes and sold to the evil white man.

Cultural Appropriation.

Hippocrates (5th century BC) in Airs, Waters and Places argued that cold regions produced hardy and fierce people, warm regions produced different temperaments.

Aristotle: Europeans courageous, Asians intelligent but less spirited, Greeks occupied middle ground.

Montesquieu, Ellsworth Huntington, Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs and Steel) also oriented ethnic differences due to climate.

Posted by: gnats local 678 at November 09, 2026 05:25 PM (CWTWj)

Which makes some sense in a specific way.

The harsh winters of Europe forced whites to cooperate in extraordinary ways to survive through the winter.

Meanwhile people in warmer climes had a lot less to worry about, when they could just walk over to the nearest fruit tree and eat dinner, along with plentiful game to hunt nearly year-round.

That part, I can agree with to an extent.

But Jeffries' Melatonin theory making blacks superior is straight out of the Hitler & KKK playbook.

He started out with a decent theory but turns it into complete racial eugenics propaganda.

Slavery wasn't the worst part of it.

They hung up slaughtered people in various states of disassembly around the palace of tribe leaders of "The Woman King". Dried and caked blood from pre-death torture all around.

The smarter ones who've actually read a history book, know this.

But like all ideologues if the fact is inconvenient, then it's forgotten.

This is how we've gottne to the point today where the only people who've ever been enslaved on this planet are black West Africans transported to America.

When every half-way intelligent person knows that slavery has existed for tens of thousands of years.

America, itself, from Canada to Argentina had slavery long before Europeans ever arrived, because the natives were steady raiding each other and taking slaves.

And let's not even get into the Muslims and their centuries of slave trading. But nah, it must've been the Jews all along - who as we all know, were slaves in Egypt.

Neither of them ever asked "why" without supposing they knew the answer first; both had the medieval view that "this is the nature of things and such may not be moved as such things are essential to being; changing their nature changes what they are, fundamentally"

Trump sounds conciliatory on immigration and Democrats immediately refuse to even speak with his team. Oh well, he tried. I guess it's back to deportations.

Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at November 09, 2026 06:04 PM (JQfkC)

Rightly, or wrongly, the president usually take the blame or credit for the state of the economy.

I expect the economy, with all the headwinds behind it thanks to Trump's policies, will be quite decent in 2028.

Things could happen though, the AI bubble, or sovereign debt crisis around the world for starters.

I'll say, though, if the Republicans want to win the presidency and perhaps take back congress, the economy needs to be humming, and inflation needs to be tamed, with gas prices at a reasonable level.

153 Whatever they propose will be a tax on income but it will be called something else. Failing that the sales and gas taxes are easy enough to increase. The newly minted democrats in Texas are going to get their tax increases one way or another they have already said that.

For the ones who voted Dem, well, you didn't like high gas and diesel prices, so you made a decision, and now you'll get igher gas & diesel prices, higher bills from the store, and a higher tax bill come April.

162 (Video montage of Jeffries defending Israel)

For Jeffries, Schumer, and their ilk on both sides of the aisle, politics is a corporate job with better than average pay & benefits. They don’t care about us.

I hope everybody here signed the petitions against him and Schumer. And call your reps. If they’re allowed to continue this charade nothing will change. They don’t work for people. Both take Aipac and Wall Street money. They’re bad people. They gotta go.

We are not responsible for Israel! They have healthcare and an education system because of our billions every year. Look around Hakeem, your own country needs that money!

Hakeem has to go. Since the speaker of the house does not have to be a member of the house I vote Stacy Abrams.

A bit astroturfed but I wish he talked about reperations for black people with half  as much passion as he does about israel's right to exist.

I wish someone would challenge him for Speaker of the House. This man makes my skin crawl. Also, I recently found a 5000 year old book and it says that land belongs to me. God ordained it. I was chosen. How do I go about kicking everyone out? Genocide? No problem.

For such an easy money-saver, I'm perpetually surprised none of the reliable Blue states have passed universal healthcare at their state level. Should be an even BIGGER win, since the Feds already insure the most expensive (elderly and poor). Really weird California doesn't pass it, reap the benefits, and leap ahead of the entire rest country economically, and lead the way for other states to adopt the success and lead to it being implemented at the national level.

IIRC, all of the aid sent to Israel was purely military.

It took me exactly 30 seconds to look this up:

$3.8 billion annually is the standard baseline amount of U.S. foreign aid provided to Israel under the current 2019–2028 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

This annual total is structured as follows:

$3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grants, which must be used to purchase U.S.-made military equipment.

$500 million specifically designated for joint missile defense programs
