where did white people come from? heres my personal opinion?

Question

According to the Nation of Islam (NOI), Yakub (also spelled Yacub), was an evil scientist responsible for creating the white race — a race of devils, in their view. Yakub created white people by a process of "grafting" from the original black population of the world. It took 600 years for Yakub and his successors to fully whiten his creations. This was achieved under a despotic regime on the island of Patmos. The reasons for Yakub's actions are unclear. According to NOI doctrine, his progeny were destined to rule for 6,000 years before the original black peoples of the world regained dominance, a process that began in 1914.

The doctrine of Yakub was first proclaimed by Wallace Fard Muhammad and was later developed by his successor Elijah Muhammad.

The name Yakub is a variant of the Semitic name referred to in European language versions of the Bible as Jacob or in modern Jewish communities as Ya’akov. Fard Muhammad appears to have adapted the Biblical Jacob's role as the father of the tribes of Israel to reposition him as the originator of white people as a whole (including Jews). The idea that Jacob/Yakub was the founder of a deviant, corrupt people is probably adapted from late nineteenth and early twentieth century anti-Semitism, in which the concept of racial degeneration was commonplace. The notion that the Jews were an artificial people arising from corrupt racial mixing is found in the works of Alfred Rosenberg and other racialists. Yakub's grafting activities seem to refer to the ideas of eugenicists, popular at the time. The figure of Yakub generalizes racial antipathy to all white people, of whom Jews now form a sub-group.

In recent times, the so-called doctrine of Yakub has been rationalized within the NOI as an allegory for the evolution of whites from the original black-skinned human populations of Africa, and as a parable warning of the dangers of eugenics. Yakub's 600-year experiment is seen as colorful storytelling, little different from the Bible's account of God creating Eve from Adam's rib, or the creation of heaven and earth in six days. In his autobiography (written with Alex Haley), El-Hajj Malik Shabazz (Malcolm X) notes that, in his travels in the Middle East, many Muslims reacted with shock upon their discovery of the doctrine of Yakub.

The African American Playwright Amiri Baraka wrote a play titled A Black Mass based on the mythology of Yakub

Answer 1

This is all a bunch of crazy talk. As the original groups of early humans moved out of East Africa into Asia and Europe, over thousands of years evolution allowed for variation in humans based on survival of environmental factors. There were no ancient "evil scientists."

Answer 2

This theory is not in the Koran. And stuff like this makes the NOI look like/sound like a cult. And the murder of Malcolm X by followers of the NOI was very cult like. The Nation does have the good sense not to talk about such nonsense now.

Answer 3

Sorry to say but your opinion is racist.White people are all devils?I know I am but there are many good folks too that are white.
Racism is stupid and wrong even if you have semi religious texts to back it up.Your question and the theory you represent level the intelligence and moral values of the average KKK theory.
Please get an education.Maybe you could start with listening to Words of Wisdom by Tupac.It will show you what the struggle is really about.

Answer 4

By white you mean "indo-Aryan" the people from Europe, west Asia and parts of central Asia, they came from What is now Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, krygstan, Tajikistan and Uighur province of China.

One group went to whats now India, the other went to whats now Iran. Groups from Iran then went to turkey and others went to Europe. Thats the origin of white people.

Nation of Islam was founded by a white guy, look at fard muhammad.

Answer 5

White people? Well of course over the thousands of years humans moved over the terrain in pursuit of prey. And as we know the sun's strength varies from region to region. Most white people come from Europe and there the sun's rays are not as powerful as places like Africa or Asia. Therefore I think white peoples pigment is a lighter colour than other humans. It is all to do with the sun and the photosynthesis in plants that we eat and the animals eat that we eat. There is a lot more to do with it but I think this is the basic reasoning's. But as you know there is really no such thing as "white" people or "black" people, it's all pigmentation, the same colour but different shades of it.

Answer 7

I'm sorry but that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard.White people evolved the same way you black people and every other race did!Now who came first...i'm not sure but I think it was the jews,whoever adam and eve were.You'd like to think that your race ruled the world,wouldn't you?Well here's a news flash-it doesn't,God does!

Answer 8

The races were split in the BC when humanity tried to build the tower to Heaven, God was angered and this was the punishment, you are prejudice. since racism is kept for the view points of whites towards blacks

Answer 9

And peole wonder why Israel is trying to defend itself from Lenanon, Syria, and Iran, they are surrounded by people who believe in mythological creatures. But our media and the far left people want to negotiate with them. It sad to see that some Americans are so far gone

Answer 10

Did you bother to read what you just wrote? It is totally nuts. DNA studies show(if you accept DNA as correct) that we all descended from the same group.

The Nation of Islam is racist. They should be getting down on their knees everyday and thank whatever god they worship for allowing their African ancestors to be brought to America as slaves after being sold to slavers by their fellow African brethern. Imagine the life they may or may not have had in Africa. Imagine the astronomical odds of any one person being born..... that one sperm out of the mass trying, that finds its way to and penetrates that egg.... what if a different egg had made its way down the tube?????? Such a little thing, just one little thing, and a person does not come into existence. That is what people should be aware of when they look at another human being. By the way, Islamo-facists do not qualify as human beings... by their actions alone.
