Jay-Z causes outrage by wearing gaudy medallion of 'Five Percent Nation'...
Daily Mail ^ | 4/6/14

...group who believe whites are 'wicked and weak'

The Brooklyn-born rapper wore a medallion representing the Five Percent Nation at a Nets game last week One of the main tenets of the Nation of Islam offshoot is that white people are 'weak and wicked' and that black men hold the power of God When asked if the medallion holds any importance to him, Jay-Z said: 'A little bit' snip A representative for the Five-Percenters said Jay-Z is not an active member and shouldn't be wearing regalia unless he subscribes to their beliefs -snip- The Five Percent Nation was founded by Harlem, New York native Clarence Smith in 1963.

Smith was originally a student of Malcom X, leader of the Nation of Islam, but split from the movement because he didn't agree with their definition of God.

Followers of the Nation of Islam believe that founder Wallace Fard Muhammad is God, but Smith doesn't agree since he believes that God can only be 'purely black' and Muhammad was bi-racial.

Smith, who changed his name to Allah, also believe that God wasn't a supernatural being, but something found in all black men.

Black women did not possess God, according to his beliefs, but were subordinates of black men. snip

The Five-Percenters get their name from the idea that only five per cent of humanity known the truth about existence and are 'poor righteous teachers' trying to tell the rest of the world the truth

Another 10 per cent also know the truth but propagate a belief in a 'mystery God' to the ignorant 85 per cent.

Clarence Smith died in 1969 after being murdered in his Harlem housing project.

The Five-Percenters continue today with many followers in the rap world.

A little bit 5-percenter? Just enough to maintain his "street cred" while living in the lap of luxury thanks in no small part to those eeevil WHITE corporatists who own the recording studios.

These obscenely overpaid gangsters complain about their “oppression.” Would that we could dump all of these ingrates into a time machine and transport them to pre-slave-trader days in Africa. Maybe they would have a little less animosity
toward the USA.

So the founder of this religion died in 1969 after being murdered in his Harlem housing project?

Must be more to the story, right?

Just read up on this wackadoodle, and it turns out that he was in the Nation of Islam, “Clarence 13X”, but ole Clarence 13X was too crazy for NOI, so he followed the example of Mohamed and just made up his own religion.

Its even more misogynistic than Islam, and apparently enough angry black men still attend meetings to call it a going venture. As a side note, "Malcolm X" obviously had a lot more marketing appeal than "Clarence 13X". Clarence must have been pissed when the magic hat gave him his secret Islam name.

They say Allah cannot be god because he was bi-racial.

Well, most of these rappers are bi-racial too.

“Followers of the Nation of Islam believe that founder Wallace Fard Muhammad is God, but Smith doesn’t agree since he believes that God can only be ‘purely black’ and Muhammad was bi-racial.”

and

“Black women did not possess God, according to his beliefs, but were subordinates of black men.”

Considering these two items together, where this group seems to oppose those of mixed race and seem to be conducting a war on women, I can only conclude that the five percenters are clearly Republicans! /s

Still they hold a higher position that all white people who are considered 'weak, wicked and inferior' according to Michael Muhammad Knight, who was written two books on the group.
