The Nation of Islam believe that white people were created in an ancient greek lab by a scientist named Yakub (Who is also the biblical Jacob). Because most white people don't and never will experience actual racism something that sounds like a racist conspiracy theory against them is humorous to them and so they have co-opted it. The problem is that it very easily and depressingly often takes a step further and ends up becoming a joke on black people.
Thank you, I'm starting to understand now. I've heard the reference before (ironically only from white people) but thought it was a meme I didn't get and never understood the origin until now.
There is a lore of this man, named Yakub in Arabic, but Jacob as in English... in the Nation of Islam...
He is a self-hating African man, with an intelligent brain (in fact, he was born with a big head)...
He tried to group up the most light-skinned people, and decided to do eugenics on them on an isle called Patmos, where he practiced eugenics and selective breeding for thousands of years before dying...
I wanted to respond with "hey, what the fuck does this mean" or "I don't get it" but upon further reading, that's it. There's nothing else to get. It's exactly as you said. Thank you for explaining.
Next question, what does crackers "posting yakub stuff" mean? And why is it banned? Does it mean posting stuff that would be considered yakubian white devil shit or is it the referencing of yakub that's bad?
I thought the yakub stuff was about, I guess, the almost racist jocular self-flagellation of those white people, because, well, they were made by Yaqub, according to that lore...
Then again, it could just easily used to mock black people, by proclaiming they believe in this, as the other poster said...
What is yakub stuff?
