Born in July 1949, Calvin Butts is one of the most prominent figures in new York's black clergy. He is the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, a historic house of worship in Harlem, New York.
... Butts is a great admirer of militant black leaders like Malcolm X, to whom he has referred as an "inspiring figure" and "our black shining prince."
...In 1983, when then-Mayor Ed Koch raised doubts about an alleged instance of police harassment of blacks, Butts charged, on no specific evidence, that the mayor was "worse than a racist."
... In 1998, Butts smeared New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as a "racist" and accused him of moving New York "toward [being] a fascist state."

Well escuze me, but (no pun intended) if my last name was B U T T S, I think I’d be a changing my name. I wouldn’t want to be the butt of jokes, etc.,......
Another fake preacher leftist, anti American baloney blow hard. How long has the ministry been such a scam and high paying job?
Black churches buying Rolls Royce’s for their “minister”, etc.
I guess it’s the “African American” version of Elmer Gantry.

Yes, However, his “Go to Hell, white man” was directed at Rudy. No big surprise that a little chicom walking around money will tide him over.

Has Hillary re-connected with her Black Panther friends that she defended in her early years?

Worse still... Calvin Butts is by far the best NY black leader, occasionally daring to criticize the real causes of black poverty and alienation.
