  1. To the enslaved, support and condone make no difference.
  2. @umbrarchist I promised that when I had more time I would go into a brief explanation of the Yakub theory as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Although I don't KNOW if it's true or not since I wasn't around to witness it...I believe it because it makes more sense than some "evolution" garbage that White folks and ONLY White folks came up with...and people of color later on began to just "accept" like most things White folks present to them....to explain their origins. Forget the bullshit you've seen and heard on the internet CLAIMING to explain Yakub, who he was, and what he did or what Elijah Muhammad said about the making of White people. Forget those Youtube disinformation videos of some big headed nigga with a gold chain and robe on claiming to be "Yacub" preaching to White folks, which seems to be an effort to discredit the ACTUAL theory and fill it full of lies and ridiculousness to the point that most folks wouldn't dare take it seriously. I'm going to give you a simplified but accurate version of what he taught without the contamination. First of all the Elijah Muhammad taught that humanity is TRILLIONS of years old and that many many civilizations and worlds have come and gone. They go in cycles. As advanced as THIS world appears to be, we've had FAR more advanced worlds and civilizations before this one and will have many many more FAR more advanced worlds and civilizations after this one is destroyed. Infact, as a quick aside..... As an engineer you may be interested in the fact that the Nation of Islam claims that there are about 60,000 books of mathematics...many of which are MUCH more profound and higher than this lightweight stuff practiced and taught in the West like calculus, trigonometry, etc.. He taught that of those 60,000 books of mathematics, ONLY ONE of those books were given to White folks for them to build their civilization upon but the other 59,999 are far more profound and advanced. This is the type of mathematics we built the pyramids and other monuments with that are still standing despite thousands of years and Earthquakes. Anyway..... During this particular cycle...about 7000 years ago, a boy named Yakub while playing with two pieces of metal and noticing that they had a magnetic effect on eachother discovered that "unalike" objects often attract the opposite of what they are. This discovery as a boy set him on a journey of research and study and as he got older he discovered while looking through a microscope (yes we not only had microscopes but MORE than that) that there exists in human beings two genes...a darker and a lighter. You see this today when two Black parents will produce a darker child and a lighter child. Sometimes they even produce an albino...but that's a different subject all together. He said he would make a new people who are lighter and lighter until they are White and use their "unalike" being to attract and rule over the rest of the Black world. He started preaching this around his community and eventually gathered a following and him and his followers of about 60,000 were exiled to an island out in the middle of the Aegan Sea On that island he convinced his followers to start this experiment of making a new "white" people who would one day rule the world and he implemented a protocol of SELECTIVE BREEDING to produce this. First of all it should be noted that Yakub and his followers were Black but weren't African. They were of the Asian Black race. There are TWO types of Black people...the Asian Black man and the African Black man. The Asian Black man...most notably found in India today...is very dark but has straight hair, thin nose, and thin mouth like what we'd attribute to White people. Unlike the African Black man who has kinky hair and broader features. His selective breeding process was simple.... Of the current population, make sure only the lightest skinned ones would mate and reproduce with eachother. If dark skinned people wanted to mate...they could only mate with a lighter skinned person. Two dark skinned people couldn't mate with eachother and if they did and a baby was produced....that baby was killed. Now at first, you only had Black and dark brown people mating with eachother so there wasn't that big of a noticeable difference, but each generation got lighter and lighter and after a few generations....NO Black people were around..only brown skinned people. Then tan, then yellowish, until after 600 years of this, White people...many of whom had blonde hair and blue eyes.... were produced. This occurred approximately 6000 years ago. After this population of White people came into being, they went back to the main lands of Asia and Africa to conquer and rule over the people using deception and violence. There is much more to this story after this event, but I'll end it right here for now. While you weigh whether to accept or reject the NOI's theory of Yakub, here's a few things for you to consider: 1. All over the world today regardless of nation or race, you find this support and love for the lighter complexion and disdain and rejection of the darker complexion. Seems pretty unusual since so many people are naturally born dark skinned; so why would they have such an ingrained hate or dislike or themselves, unless it was INSTILLED into their culture at some point in the past. 2. Scientific articles have been out for some time now but resurface from time to time claiming that ALL people with blue eyes came from a common ancestor about 6000 years ago. Blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor | ScienceDaily Everyone With Blue Eyes May Descend From a Single Human Ancestor (popularmechanics.com) Humanity has been on the planet HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of years (or trillions of years if you believe Elijah Muhammad), so is it just a coincidence that this ancestor with blue eyes happened to be dated the same time as Yakub's experiment? 3. Going back to the point about advanced mathematics and how the ancient Black man's math was far more advanced than what we have today. Whether it's true or not, the actor Terrence Howard is all over the internet claiming to have "discovered" a new type of math. This is nothing new. Black men constantly "invent" things that are far more advanced and beyond this Western civilization's science because this civilization is limited. Like I said, the NOI claims they were only given ONE book of 60,000. If this is true, we didn't actually invent it; it already existed and was practiced by our Ancestors...but White folks just didn't know about it and thus couldn't teach us. We THINK we invent a lot of this stuff but it existed MILLIONS of years ago and it's in our very NATURE to figure it out and express it today. Infact, MUSIC...which we clearly excel in...is mathematics. Holding a beat, sequencing, rhythm -these are advanced forms of mathematics...PRACTICAL mathematics....that even little Black kids on the sidewalk can whoop the hell out of the average "well educated" White man in. Say what? You say Western science is much more advanced than that Voodoo and Santeria that Africans and Indians use? Well, Voodoo Doctors can make snakes and other animals grow inside human beings...can Western doctors and scientists to that? The science and knowledge of our ancient Ancestors are FAR more profound and advanced than this lightweight shit White folks have. Which is why they often call their so-called professions a "practice". While they PRACTICE science...we MASTERED it. The average Black PIMP on the streets can whoop the hell out of the average White psychologist on how the mind actually works...lol. There is much more detail to this theory and those who know it well will know that I kept a lot of the information out in order to simplify it, but I'll let you digest it and decide on it's validity. If you have questions or want more details about certain things, I'll answer and provide them if I can.
  3. I believe the knowledge was passed down from Wallace Fard Muhammad before he disappeared. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  5. Governments consistently create conditions that benefit some and do little or nothing for others.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. On the other hand... Fixing and better is relative to the person or group of people. A problem to one person or group may not be of the same magnitude to others. Same thing applies to better. A mansion doesn't seem any *better* than a single-family home or townhouse to someone living in a crowded apartment.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. You dream , do research, then decide what closes matches the two and the research. This is complicated if you are other over or under emotionally connected to the choice. Will post more later
  8. Nah. Most Black churches are still being headed by cisgender men. I'd imagine those pastors are perfectly fine with a congregation of dudes who are uninterested in women. Less competition. For those pastors who are switch hitters...there's more variety in the congregation. Gives church retreat a whole new meaning. Blsck churches are busy running a business based on spiritual entertainment. They don't have a whole lot of bandwidth for civil rights issues. i believe Black Christians are fine with Atty. Ben Crump handling the business from a legal perspective.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Support is when you promote and practice something....condone is when you tolerate and allow.
