By what I've seen so far it seems like their whole thing is to just praise black people.
Read the link that's been posted above about 5 percent nation. They believe
"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches the belief that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth and are therefore the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization."
"The Nation teaches that the black man (Insofar as the Nation defines this race) is himself God, with the black race thus being a race of actual gods."
"Members of the group call themselves Allah's Five Percenters, which reflects the concept that ten percent of the people in the world are elites and their agents, who know the truth of existence and opt to keep ninety-five percent of the world in ignorance and under their controlling thumb; the remaining five percent are those who know the truth and are determined to enlighten the ninety-five percent."
"The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe."
Conflicting percentages
Why would you copy and paste and change eighty-five to ninety-five? What a weird route to be a dickhead. The original link does not have ninety-five percent listed. I'm not defending any belief system here, but you took a stretch and I'm calling you out on it.
Interesting catch but 95% with 10% chosen is what the Wikipedia page said as of Monday night. I know this because the iffy math was called out on Gifted Hater's twitch stream before any of the 5 percenter stuff was posted in this thread. I assumed the increase to 95% was an olive branch to try interest other cultures in getting involved. This is the problem with Wikipedia as a resource as I suspect it was edited and then edited back to show the correct values.
i don’t know that much about the five percenters but my thoughts
10% are chosen
the five percenters are half of the chosen and want to enlighten people
the other half is trying to keep the rest of the population (95%) ignorant
50% of the 10% (so 5% total) are bad guys, the other 50% are the five percenters (good guys)
the bad guys do not consider the five percenters as the chosen and vice versa, but both groups make up the 10%
maybe the article is just poorly written
idk i might be reaching but it kinda makes sense to me
lol at whoever implied that five percenters are black supremacists
edit: i see that the article was changed but if there are indeed 10% of the bad guys and they want to keep 85% of the population ignorant do they just want to let the five percenters to do their thing either way? i might just be dumb but my theory makes more sense to my small brain
