Elijah Muhammad in real life


Was Elijah Muhammad as “cultish” in real life as the film makes him out to be?

Go look him up. The Nation of Islam is a cult that teaches that white people were created 6,600 years ago by a discontented black scientist named Yakub. He lead this group and held that the story was true. That's all you need to know.

Yeah it's pretty much black Scientology. I think the SPLC even listed it as a hate group for its anti-white and anti-semitic beliefs. Why people keep giving Louis Farrakhan lipservice is beyond me.
