Subject: Yakub, etc
>From "In These Times", March 21-27, 1990, "More are going back to the future
with Farrakhan":
Farrakhan has followed Elijah Muhammad's teachings religiously. Black
activists who treasure Farrakhan's charisma and intelligence but gag on
his belief system have long hoped he would reject the more outrageous
aspects of NOI [Nation of Islam] doctrine--e.g. white people were
grafted out of black people by a "big-headed scientist" name Yakub and
created specifically to bedevil the planet, unidentified flying objects
are actually manned satellites of a mothership that will rescue only
righteous black people from the upcoming apocalypse, black people will
need no weapons in the inevitable race war because God will attack
white people with natural disasters like earthquakes and tornadoes--in
a bid for wider acceptance.
