Pssst. Don't forget that the nation of islam is different than regular islam.
They think white people are a race of scientifically created devil's, invented by the scientist, yakob/jacob.
They are militant and they're technically a ufo cult.
Yay
From the wiki on noi
It maintains that a scientist named Yakub then created the white race; lacking inner divinity, the whites were intrinsically violent and so overthrew and enslaved the black race. The NOI sets itself against white-dominant society, calling for black people to be economically self-sufficient and separatist; it formerly called for an independent black state in North America. A millenarian tradition, it maintains that the current Allah will soon return aboard a spaceship, the "Mother Plane" or "Mother Ship," to wipe out the white race and inaugurate a black utopia.
