Nation of Islam can sound silly to people who don't know about it but you need to think of it in the context of Black neighborhoods in Jim Crow era Chicago, Harlem, Brooklyn, Detroit, etc. when its values were directly modeled from and representative of the Black experience at the time
Thomas Gomez
although recently it has become much more like mainstream Sunni Islam (which tbf is basically an entirely different religion)
Yakub is said to have been born in Mecca at a time when 30% of original black people were "dissatisfied" He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz. Yakub acquired the nickname "big head", because of his unusually large head and his arrogance. At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel.This insight led to a plan to create new people. He "saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man. By the age of 18, he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the "original black man" contained both a "black germ" and a "brown germ". With 59,999 followers, he went to an "isle in the Aegean Sea called Pelan", which Muhammad identifies with Patmos. Once there, he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies, and created a brown race after 200 years. Yakub died at the age of 152, but his followers carried on his work. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics, the white race was created. The brutal conditions of their creation determined the evil nature of the new race: "by lying to the black mother of the baby, this lie was born into the very nature of the white baby; and, murder for the black people was also born in them—or made by nature a liar and murderer".

In his speech he had some pretty harsh criticism on muslims & arabs, calling them racist & unhygienic . But he said he respected muslims because they did not alter the koran as opposed to christians
It's debatable. Some say he was light skin Black, some say he was Indian, Persian, Pakistani, Maori, Arab, etc. Very mysterious man. Nobody knows when, how, or where he died as he vanished in 1933 and was never seen again.
Sebastian Green
Based and redpilled.
Gavin Garcia
I'm just watching reading the subtitles while listenings to the radio. It's like a Trump speech all over again, but about God instead.
Matthew Perry
Black Americans really are the most pathetic group of people in the world, aren't they
Isaac Diaz
We need to make this required listening on Jow Forums. We need definitive board culture and this is it.
Julian Garcia
This is some next level bullshit
John Brown
t. yakub's pawn
Alexander Walker
topkek. a splinter group, the 5 percent nation has a "Supreme Alphabet" here's a few >(A)—Allah: The "Asiatic Blackman." “Asia” is the body; “attic” is the mind; “black” is the dominant force; “man” is the higher intelligence; a backronym for arm, leg, leg, arm, head; the Father of the Universe; all in all. >(C)—Cee or See: to see is to have insight, to comprehend through the mind’s eye; to see is to have insight to see through the physical, to understand. >(Y)—Why: "Why?" is the question that is most frequently asked by the 85 percenters because they can't Wisdom their Power to Show and Prove their Godlyhood >(Z)—Zig-Zag-Zig: from Knowledge to Wisdom to Understanding
why are racists so cringeworthy and retarded?
Angel Lee
if you read their holy book its very interesting and deliberate when you analyze the letters
Brody James
They've recently incorporated some elements of dianetics into it. I personally think Farrakhan is on the church's payroll.
Nolan Bell
Hol up hol up Are there actually people on this board who believe in the whole yakub shit. Like not ironically or just to be edgy?
Levi Rivera
They also have supreme mathematics which is just gematria with African American characteristics.
To their credit, they did produce a number of a good rappers.
Robert Bennett
NOI is legit fucked up. Black nationalism in general was pretty weird. They still get airtime because politicians and activists see them as an easy constituency to pick up.
>WE WUZ JOOS N SHEEIT >WE WUZ EGYPSHUNS N SHEEIT So, you enslaved yourselves?
Easton Collins
You should be ashamed to call yourself a Simeonite.
Samuel Hughes
That specific group doesn't believe the Egyptians were black; they also don't consider Africans black either. They also believe that Central and South Americans are.
Wyatt Sullivan
I'm still sure Obama was (too much) redpilled about sionism and American involvement in the ME.
He pulled out too fast.
Austin Kelly
How much of an idiot you must be to believe that bullcrap?
Brandon Gray
as stupid as an american
Bentley Green
I think it's what they want to be true rather what is; it's like some sort of performance piece. The development of African American folk history and religion is pretty interesting.
Jeremiah Anderson
What's happening when Farrankhan dies ?
Kayden Phillips
lmao look at them, look like white people with dark skin lmao
