    Yakub was a black scientist who lived 6,600 years ago and began the creation of the white race through a form of selective breeding, referred to as “grafting”, while he was living on the island of Patmos.

    Hmm okay then.

      The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a religious organization founded in the United States by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930. A centralized and hierarchical organization, the NOI is committed to black nationalism and focuses its attention on the African diaspora, especially on African Americans. While describing itself as Islamic and using Islamic terminologies, its religious tenets differ substantially from orthodox Islamic traditions. Scholars of religion characterize it as a new religious movement.
