Once again, if the anti-semitic feelings and statements of the person can be reliably sourced, as they have in Jeffries' case, then there is no BLP violation. BLP is not a license to whitewash; it is a requirement that we must take extra care -- which is fulfilled in Jeffries's case. Thank you. -- Avi 13:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I saw a newsreel where the reporter claimed Jeffries also made disparaging remarks about Italian Americans. Is there another source for that? I wonder if there was any reaction from the Italian American community. Anyway, it'd be interesting to include in the article. Olockers
removed unsourced claim about his lectures turning into rants.
This article is written from an anti-Kemetic point of view (if not racism) and must be completely rewritten to meet Wikipedia NPOV policy.
Wikipedia must take action against Cultural terrorists that promote anti-kemetism and libel African Scholars.
Example of libel: To asset that Dr. Jeffries originated the People of the Sun, people of the Ice theory is an Cultural Poisoning outrage. This theory was researched and put forth by the European American Micheal Bradley in his book the Iceman Inheritance. This error must be corrected immediately.
The people of the Sun concept comes into recorded history in Classical African Civilization, Kemet (ancient Egypt) and has nothing to do with anti-semitism.
A Proper NPOV and a libel challenge sticker should be place on the front of this article until these issues are corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aunk ( talk • contribs) 16:16, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
This article reads like a hit piece. Has Jeffries done nothing notable except saying controversial things? -- Apoc2400 ( talk) 15:22, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Copied from my talk page:
Some various comments are questions:
I checked up a bit on Pi Lambda Phi, but I didn't think it was worth getting into detail about it in the article. here is a 1958 source about Jeffries becoming president of PLP. This 1964 source mentions it being a Jewish fraternity. Perhaps the Lafayette PLP was primarily Jewish while the national PLP is non-denominational. Per this and this it was created in 1925 and locally known as "Towers". It joined the national PLP in 1940 after the university Board of Trustees delayed it for over a decade. It was closed in 1982 due to low membership, and the building is now an inn. -- Apoc2400 ( talk) 14:35, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Dr Jeffries' parents names were named Leonard Jeffries and Leola Jeffries. Proof: he said it in his class and in his books, he is named Leonard Jeffries Jr. it's a messy page but ehhhhh somebody's got to clean it.......... vap ( talk) 09:18, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Reading this article (and I am no fan) I find the general tone esp in the section i flagged as excessively negative. The lede gives us the impression he got fired and that was that. The equally important information is somehow missing, what happened. e.g. OJ was charged with double murder.... (end), we need to know what happened.-- Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ ( talk) 15:33, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
″During the past 50 years, Dr. Jeffries life has truly been an excellent example of commitment to the current theme of the African Union (AU) which is Pan-Africanism and the African Renaissance. His education, research and publication attest to his growth and development as a Pan-African bridge builder.″
This doesn't seem very neutral to me. The whole section seems to be lionising a racist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.157.104 ( talk) 04:36, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
It might be in the competition. The intro is a mess, and without a single citation to boot not to mention filled with outright odd superlative statements about the subject and ordered in a nonsensical way including things that are nothing more than trivia. It almost seems like Mr. Jeffries himself got to the page, or a very ardent fan at the least. I don't even know where to start cleaning this up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.124.104.62 ( talk) 11:56, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
To focus on just one of the components of a really bad lede: what is a "master-teacher/administrator" and how is that different from being an "educator"? 68.9.50.153 ( talk) 02:29, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
