Warnock’s former church repeatedly hosted antisemitic, Black supremacist professor
...
At the time of his first appearance at the Abyssinian church in 1991, Leonard Jeffries was embroiled in a legal battle to retain his position as the Black studies department chair at City University of New York (CUNY). He was ultimately removed from his position after a years-long dispute over racist and antisemitic remarks, including blaming Jewish people for the transatlantic slave trade

The AJC report said Leonard "preaches Jew-hatred like a religion"
...
In July 1991, three months before his first Abyssinian speech, Leonard claimed the portrayal of Black people in movies was "a conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood, where people called Greenberg and Weisberg and Trigliani and what not," the AJC report said.

The report also noted Leonard’s racially charged rhetoric "teaching that blacks are racially superior to whites" and his references to Black people as "sun people" due to "more melanin in their skin than whites, whom he calls ‘ice people.’"

the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), dubbed Jeffries an "anti-Semitic" speaker in a report covering antisemitism on college campuses.
...
"In the spring of 1988, a white student wrote an account in the student newspaper of his experiences in Jeffries' class, Black Studies 101," the ADL continued. "The student recounted numerous times when Jeffries constructed large parts of his class around anti-white arguments."

The ADL also noted the 1990 New York Times article that "reported that in an April 1990 class on African heritage, Jeffries said that ‘rich Jews who financed the development of Europe also financed the slave trade,’

Prior to a February 2012 keynote speech in Chicago from notorious antisemitic preacher Louis Farrakhan, Leonard was quoted as saying during a discussion panel, "The evil genius of the Jewish community was to put together their powers to make business their religion and make it part of their culture."

Butts also refused to condemn Farrakhan for calling Judaism a "gutter religion" in 1986, causing members of the New York Philharmonic orchestra to boycott the Abyssinian church.

Butts, who died in October of this year at age 73, once described Warnock as "one of the brightest and most intelligent and academically prepared young clergymen in the country."

After his death, Warnock described Butts as his mentor.

"Calvin Butts taught me so many things," Warnock said last month. "Calvin Butts taught me how to take my ministry to the streets. The work of the Lord doesn't stop at the church door. That's where it starts. His pulpit was the public square."

Warnock has come under fire for his own praise of Farrakhan, who has called Jews "wicked," "satanic" and has compared them to "termites."

During a 2013 speech, Warnock praised Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam as an "important" voice for Black Americans.

"Its voice has been important for the development of Black theology," Warnock said at the time, referring to an ideology developed by Black preachers during the Civil Rights era to combat White supremacy within Christianity.

"It was the Black Muslims who challenged Black preachers and said, ‘you’re promulgating … the White man’s religion. That’s a slave religion. You’re telling people to focus on heaven, meanwhile, they’re catching hell,'" Warnock said.
