I'm going to drop some NOI teachings that apply to this thread. Afterwards I'd like to see this thread locked. You can't just google "yacub" and repost whatever you find on google. It's disrespectful to the Nation of Islam and the Nation of Gods and Earths. The Nation of Islam doctrine is very specific and there are primary sources that don't change. Unless you are quoting verbatim from those primary sources, chances are, you don't know what you are talking about.
For example, somebody said that the Nation of Islam is "afrocentric" and then used X Clan to support their argument. That's nonsense. The Nation of Islam is not afrocentric and you won't find one word in Elijah Muhammad's teachings that are "afrocentric". Furthermore, you won't find one word in any X Clan songs that reflect Nation of Islam or Nation of Gods and Earth's teachings. To the uninitiated they may sound alike, but if you study the teachings themselves, not just a quick google search you'd most definitely agree that the Nation of Islam isn't afrocentric and X Clan doesn't represent the nationof Islam or the Nation of God's and Earths.
So anyway, I'm going to quote something directly from the Supreme Wisdom Lessons, which is a primary source for the Nation of Islam and the only source for the Nation of Gods and Earths. This is in reference to people that say Jay Z is part of the illuminati and/or 5%ers are supposed to be "poor righteous teachers".
PROBLEM NO. 13
After learning Mathematics, which is Islam, and Islam is Mathematics, it stands true. You can always prove it at no limit of time. Then you must learn to use it and secure some benefit while you are living, that is - luxury, money, good homes, friendship in all walks of life.
Sit yourself in Heaven at once! That is the greatest Desire of your Brother and Teachers.
Now you must speak the Language so you can use your Mathematical Theology in the proper Term -- otherwise you will not be successful unless you do speak well, for She knows all about you.
The Secretary of Islam offers a reward to the best and neatest worker of this Problem.
There are twenty-six letters in the Language, and if a Student learns one letter per day, then how long will it take him to learn the twenty-six letters?
There are ten numbers in the Mathematical Language. Then how long will it take a Student to learn the whole ten numbers (at the above rate)? The average man speaks four hundred words - considered well.
Mods, can you please lock this thread, there's too much misinformation being spread and its insulting.
