Any coli brehs a part of the Nation of Gods & Earth? How did the teachings affect you?

I've always heard some sideways stuff until a homeboy from Brooklyn kinda put me onto the teachings and not just how the organization came about. After doing a little more independent research, this group is WAY more interesting to me that I was led to believe by the sleep southerners in Alabama.
I think its good because it made people want to explore the concept of self and empowering black people but any religion that is based on hatred is :camby: to me
Five-Percenters are discouraged from marrying anyone of the white race as doing so would dilute the purity of their blood but the anti-white racism is primarily targeted at white men.
at the end of the day like all religion its a bunch on made up shyt :yeshrug:

1) 5% arent a religion 2) The Supreme Wisdom was created in the early 1930's. Do you think Elijah Muhammad would have been as successful without refering to the white man as being the devil when Black people were still being hung around this time? Do you think a "Lets all hold hands and pray for our enemy" philosophy would have worked?

Its gonna be alot of cats hating on the nation in this thread if they get the chance, and there will be others who praise it too highly and make it to be something it is not. But if you take the lessons for what they are they can be highly valuable to you. Some nikkas in NY learned the lessons and use it as a badge to terrorize the block, but dont let those people dissuade you from learning my breh.

Can you expand on this? I know next to nothing about the 5% outside of the general history.

Well alot of the time when 5% get knowledge of self and get there 360 degrees of knowledge, alot of people in the community start to look up to them and follow them without question. When you have that type of following and people look to you as a leader they will do ANYTHING you say. For example Supreme (the famous drug dealer from queens who is famous for his clutch on the drug game in the 80's and the beef he had with 50 cent) was able to get a whole lot of people behind him in the beggining because he was a 5% and people looked up to him for it. So he basically convinced everyone on his block to pump crack for him based off of people looking up to him for his religous knowledge lol

i use to be affiliated with the NGE in college, the problem is that in order to follow that doctrine you have to live in an alternate reality damn near

- there are no poor white people
- the black family is doing just fine
- black on black crime is a myth
- other groups harm black america outside of white people

I know the government is corrupt, I agree that the black man is the original man, I agree that we need to establish our own self sustained economy in our communities, i just kept butting heads with muthafukkas.

but there are about 10 elephants in the room that those nikkas refuse to acknowledge, i refuse to dumb myself down or lie to myself in order to be in a group

They have the same principles as Masons...it's gang shyt

Like they'll show u two towers ( as a vague example) and tell you what it means, let's say women's legs... 3 years down the line they'll say actually youre now 820 degrees "that's what we tell apprentices"..The twin towers actually means the duality of life

The more u get into it, it's just gang shyt

Like asking a crip "how long u been a crip? " ... He knows the gang answer is "since the day I was born nikka"

If he answers erm 5 years 3 1/2 months u know he ain't a real crip

Same shyt

Them mason nikkaz though have u fukking goats in a coffin to get into their gang...on video... so u know not to slip up even if u president:whoa:


5% ******s are students of that shyt though gawd... but at least they're pro black :salute:

speaking from personal hands on experience bruh

now this i don't agree with...5%er's aren't gangs...i've heard it called the prison religion in that a lot of people get introduced to it in prison

but they ain't even out here committing crimes or harming people in the name of the 5% nation though
