Black people are the fathers and mothers of civilization, white men are the devil, the Christian god is nothing more than a ghost and only a small percentage of people understand the world.Just another atheist self-elevation form which emerged from the atheist Void combined with black racism.
These are just some of the beliefs behind the bling — the gaudy Five Percent Nation medallions worn by Jay Z and Carmelo Anthony.
Last week, all eyes at the Barclays Center weren’t on Jay Z’s better half, BeyoncĂ© — but on the coaster-size golden pendant swinging from the rapper’s neck as the couple sat courtside. Asked once if the group’s symbol — an eight-pointed star with the number 7 in the middle — held any meaning for him, the rapper shrugged, “A little bit.”
So what exactly do Five Percenters believe?
“The rationale is that the black man is God and created the universe, and is physically stronger and intellectually stronger and more righteous naturally,” says Michael Muhammad Knight, an author of two books on the radical group. “Whiteness is weak and wicked and inferior — basically just an errant child who needs to be corrected.”
The group was founded in 1964 in Harlem by Clarence Smith, who later changed his name to Allah, a former student of Malcolm X who disagreed with the Nation of Islam over the nature of God.
Smith rejected the notion of a supernatural deity and instead believed that all black men had God in them and that black women were “earths” who took on a complementary yet subordinate role to their gods.
The idea is empowering, Knight says.
“Anytime someone is saying you have to accept your conditions of oppression and slavery and pray to an unseen god — that kind of god is just being used to keep people down and to keep people from looking to themselves as a solution to their problems,” he notes. “If there is a problem, no one will fix it for you, except yourself.”
Five Percenters don’t consider themselves Muslim, but their name comes from the Nation of Islam’s belief that 5 percent of humanity are “poor righteous teachers” who exist to enlighten the masses about the truth of existence.
Members will sometimes refer to themselves as “scientists” to drive home the search for truth. And they face a tall task, because under their belief system, 10 percent of the world’s population controls the other 85 percent by spreading the belief in a “mystery God.”
To show followers the way, members must learn the Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet — powerful tools to decipher the meaning of the universe. In both, each letter and number represents a concept: for example, 1 is knowledge, 2 is wisdom, while A is Allah and B is be, or born. The number 7 on Jay Z’s pendant stands for God.
Caucasians, meanwhile, don’t enjoy an exalted status in the narrative of the Five Percenters.
“The first lesson I learned from the Five Percent was simple: F–k white people. Seriously. White people are devils,” Knight, 36, who is white and converted to Islam as a teenager, once wrote.
He insisted the movement has been welcoming and that he views the controversial sentiment as a statement about power rather than biology.

If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic?

Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

How much self-hate can someone spew, without a clue?!? Stockholm syndrome, anyone, a la Patty Hearst?!?
I once drove a van for the Day Reporting Center at the local courthouse. I had to pick up and drop off addicts awaiting trial at the courthouse for "training" in "impulse management." (Presumably, the only reason for criminal behavior is poor impulse control. You'd be amazed at how many addicts can quote chapter and verse from the training materials, all the while continuing to feed their addiction.) One of the self-designated "crack whores" was a white female, about 22 years old. She was always rattling on about "her peeps," especially an older black woman who was also an addict but very quiet and reserved. The white woman got on a bragging rant one night on the way back to her house, regaling the rest of the people on the van with stories about her "street mama" (the black woman) and how she herself was totally black, because she had experienced everything that black people had, and that she "knew" exactly how black people felt about white people. I couldn't resist: I looked in the rear view mirror and said loudly: "Hey girlfriend, you ever look in a mirror?" Everyone busted out laughing, but that quiet and reserved black woman nearly died laughing.
Waco, Ruby Ridge, and now this: all under Democrat administrations. I don't know the persuasions of the judges who found in favor of the Fed confiscation of this land, but I'm willing to bet. Nevada keeps electing Harry Reid, one of the most corrupt individuals in politics (spent his entire adult life in government and somehow is filthy rich).
