By that implication, 29 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.480 it means I'd be I'd get kicked out of my 30 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.560 own podcast and then some loser would drive it into 31 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.120 the ground in like five years. That would be the 32 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.319 implications of me being the Steve Jobs of podcasting. 33 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.000 Well, keep an eye on car Man, keep an eye 34 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.519 on cars all.

Right 40 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.560 when I was doing research for this episode, I kept 41 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.319 finding other things that were unrelated but weren't funny. Right. 42 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.280 So for instance, you know, last time we did the 43 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.080 chick tracks, which was a lot of fun. Uh, And 44 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.479 somehow I realized I missed one of the greatest hits, 45 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.680 which I won't be showing right today. We're talking about 46 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.879 the Nation of Islam very wise and a gust group 47 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:41.520 of scholars. 48 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.199 We should and for what it's worth, though this means 49 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.840 nothing to our listeners, we should cover what you're talking 50 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.080 about it alongside a larger episode about the subject in general, 51 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.680 because I have a lot to say on it. 52 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.400 I do too. I'm kind of fascinated by the nih 53 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.280 This was actually funny enough. My My fascination the going 54 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.280 on for a very long time. Have you ever seen 55 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.199 the Louis Theroux documentary of course? 56 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.840 Oh, of course, which is I think for years my 57 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:16.240 friends and I had an in group joke about the guy. 58 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.919 So Louis is sitting in the hall talking to the 59 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.960 three Nation of Islam guys and the leader who has 60 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.960 fingernails of three or four inches long, which is never 61 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.520 explained by the way he's talking to them, and Louie 62 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.400 is He's given the opportunity. Louis given the opportunity to 63 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.120 ask which historical figures are black and which are not. 64 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.800 And so he asks, like King James, of the King 65 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:44.560 James Bible black, and then he asks William Shakespeare. Uh, 66 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.280 he goes George Washington. He looked black, I think, is 67 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.039 what he said. He looked black, but he would and 68 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.960 then he and then he goes, how about William Shakespeare 69 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.800 And this was the inside joke in the group Chef Forever. 70 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.319 He goes, undoubtedly black and that is that is such 71 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:03.120 a great phrase. 72 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.479 He takes a breath like he has to like gather himself. 73 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.280 Right right, Yeah, everybody should watch that. That's probably Lily 74 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.879 through his best documentary. And it really went all downhill 75 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:19.439 after that. 76 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.879 Well, especially because he's a he's a very kind of 77 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.839 you know, shrimpy, effeminate British man, right kind of rolled 78 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.160 over shrimp like in front of this like Rick Ross 79 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.240 dressed up for like a Christmas pageant is exactly m 80 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.600 you should have in your head. It's hilarious. So initially 81 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.319 I was planning on going through a comic that you 82 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.399 guys have probably seen images from. Uh It's called yakub 83 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.680 Creator of the White Devil Rays uh. Yes, and to 84 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.639 be fair, it is accurate as to Yakubian lore. However, 85 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.600 very disappointed to learn it was actually done by a 86 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.199 satirical comic book writer, right, one of our guys, it 87 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.399 seems Frank Edwards, who is really funny, but you know, 88 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.240 reviewing someone else's funny stuff. You know that they're in 89 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.480 on the joke. There's only so much you can squeeze 90 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.639 from that, right, So Frank Edwards again does good work. 91 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.480 He is correct, right, everything he's describing is actually what 92 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.319 they think. But you know, there's only so much you 93 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:26.720 can get there. However, I have have spent tens of 94 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:32.480 minutes collecting actual Nation of Islam comic strips, and you 95 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.279 can find these on the internet right the NOI, you know, 96 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.560 runs a sort of a I guess you said, an 97 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.759 archive of these, however, and you'll notice bird right off 98 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.560 the rip. A lot of these are edited, mostly because 99 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.680 even in their own content, they're saying things that you 100 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:53.439 and I cannot say right, especially on YouTube or similar platforms. 101 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:54.040 Es. 102 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.319 Okay, you know the old joke like as this Heretz 103 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:02.240 or Daily Stormer. It's basically the same thing. Like these 104 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:07.680 comics are like the most grotesque like Stormbrunt illustrations you 105 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:09.680 can imagine, but they are pretty funny. 106 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.040 Have you actually gone through and edited them or do 107 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.399 they have a kind of like family safe version of 108 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.439 m oh wow, you spent so much more time on 109 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:22.319 this than you should have. 110 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.680 Yeah, of course, all right, did you see that Bird. 111 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.319 Yes, I sure can. 112 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.240 So you can see both the illustrations and also my 113 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:39.399 censorship here. Okay, this is what I'm saying. 114 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.399 We're going to have a sneak through today on the 115 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.560 Jay Burden experience. Is there gonna be one that gets 116 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.319 through that you forgot about? 117 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.319 Possibly? It wouldn't be my first. 118 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:50.879 Yeah. 119 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.360 The review of Blade Rudder Thomas dropped the hard r 120 00:06:55.399 --> 00:07:01.399 and I forgot to edit that, and remarkably videos still monetized, 121 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.199 which is a miracle as far as I'm considered. 122 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.560 It's really funny. 123 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.639 So so Bert, I'll ask you, you know, you you 124 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.519 know a little bit about the NI right and a 125 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.079 lot of these weirdly enough, much like our review of 126 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.959 Jack Chick is very anti clerical, right, they really hate 127 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.240 the church. As you can see, there's there's two kind 128 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.319 of portals here, the mosque and the church. And out 129 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.920 of the mosque is you know, very conservatively dressed, uh 130 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.399 black couple, and on the other one is something sort 131 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.800 of out of a minstrel show. Uh. Do you have 132 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.040 anything to add on the the sort of ni you know, 133 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.959 anti clericism and also their relation to the actual uh 134 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:45.639 you know, Islamic faith. 135 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.439 Well, well, there's certainly a lot to be said about that. 136 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.079 Now I have done, uh, just to plug my own podcast. 137 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.199 If you go over to the timeline eurth Patreon, I 138 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.360 should probably make it more easily available. But for the 139 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:05.079 entire last year, on Into the Cave, one of the 140 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.759 sub podcasts to the show, I covered with my co 141 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:14.399 host and friend Haas, the entirety of the thought process 142 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.839 of the Nation of Islam on an episode, So that 143 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.439 would probably be the best place to go if you 144 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.759 wanted to really hear all of it. But one thing 145 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.720 I want to make through before I'd give the explanation 146 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:32.080 to your question is we were just talking about the 147 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.639 louis Through documentary, and it actually occurs to me that 148 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.679 we made a common mistake that many of us wife 149 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:42.240 folk could do. That the Nation of Islam is totally 150 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.840 distinct from the subject of that documentary, which was the 151 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.000 Black Hebrew Israelites. And these are now two very different groups. 152 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.919 Now they are both anti Christian, both of them take 153 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:59.279 a similar position on Christianity. The Black Hebrew is realized. 154 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.759 I won't spend any time on them beyond this one statement. 155 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.440 They teach that Christianity is basically a Europeanized corruption of 156 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.840 the true Hebrew faith of the black people, and they 157 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.360 do believe in Jesus, but they do not believe in 158 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.559 White Jesus. Now, the subject of what we're discussing is 159 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:19.519 the nation of Islam, which was founded by Wallace Ford Muhammad. 160 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.039 In somebody fact checked me because I think I know 161 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.279 nineteen thirty nineteen thirty, somebody fact checked me on that 162 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.000 because I think I'm right, and their opinion is that 163 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.519 so there. First of all, this faith was largely shaped 164 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:39.080 by Elijah Muhammad after the disappearance of Wallace Ford Muhammad, 165 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.399 who is said to have walked into the ocean and 166 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.960 disappeared like God's villa, literally true. And Elijah Muhammad developed 167 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:52.960 a pretty distinct theology distinct from both Islam and Christianity. 168 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:57.159 Their take on Christianity is that it is a slave religion, 169 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.399 so kind of Benietzschean taken. And I'll say this much. 170 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.679 Elijah Muhammad is no stupid man. I mean, Elijah Muhammad 171 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:11.159 is actually a very philosophically well read guy, including many 172 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.279 European philosophers such as Nietzsche, and I think he gets 173 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:19.279 the same opinion about Christianity that basically that Nietzsche had 174 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.480 is that it was a slave of religion, and then 175 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.840 it was this is Elijah Muhammad's take, I'd say, is 176 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.960 it was imposed upon black people by their their their 177 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.720 slave masters. And so Elijah Mohammad was basically teaching that 178 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:40.279 it was a pacification method to make black people accept 179 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:44.120 their their state and their subjugation under the white man 180 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.759 because it was promising rewards in the afterlife. So basically 181 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:52.080 is a Nietzschean kind of take. Pretty standard. Honestly, was 182 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.960 exactly the same thing Nietzsche thought about it. So what 183 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.679 do they think about so I would say this much 184 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.039 use the word anti clerical. Well, I think it's worth 185 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.799 noting that they're not necessarily anti clerical because they do 186 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:10.919 have like a ministerial hierarchy obviously, but it takes and 187 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:14.399 it is distinct from Islam, especially Sunni Islam's view of 188 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.799 the oumah, which is is a clerical system, but it's 189 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.480 kind of more like Protestants, where there's like, you know, 190 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.879 whoever whoever has the most knowledge can be a pastor. Right, 191 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.799 So that's how Islam works, or at Sunni Islam works 192 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.960 that way. Shia Islam works differently, so they they kind 193 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.039 of believe you rise through their ranks based on your 194 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.559 zeal and your knowledge, and the community's impression of you. 195 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.519 So it's not totally anti clerical, but it is definitely 196 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.960 strongly anti Christian establishment, basically for the same reason the 197 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.840 black keeper Israelites believe. It's because they think it's a 198 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.200 slave religion. They they don't believe Jesus was divine, and 199 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.360 I'm talking about the nation of Islam here, which is 200 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.600 standard Islam. They don't believe Jesus was divine, they don't 201 00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.159 believe in the Trinity, they don't believe he resurrected. They 202 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.120 believe that he Jesus Us, never died on the cross, 203 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.440 that he was substituted by Allah on the cross with 204 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:10.120 another man who was a sinner, which is again standard Islam. 205 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:14.279 So I think, yeah, their main ribe with Christianity is 206 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.559 this kind of pauper esque take that you hear from, 207 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.639 and it really did originate with them, which is that 208 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:26.360 Christianity is a white man's religion. So I would say that. 209 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.240 And so now we're looking at this comic. Let me 210 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.639 get a closer to look at this comic. Here you 211 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.559 can see and I don't I will avoid using this 212 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.960 word even though it is the accurate term that would 213 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:40.559 be used. But there's a word that starts with C 214 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.159 and ends with N and there's two o's in the 215 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.799 middle of it, and that is what you're seeing on 216 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.399 the church side. And they do love to utilize that 217 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.919 word to describe this sort of black person. Basically they 218 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:57.080 think Christianity turns black people into that word that I 219 00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:58.559 don't want to use because I don't want to get 220 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.840 you demanotized on YouTube. But yeah, that's basically what you're 221 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:07.639 seeing there, is the blancification of the black man. I 222 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.759 do like the comments that you're seeing there. Mohammad washes 223 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:15.320 you up, and there is I don't know which Mohammad 224 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.840 they're necessarily talking about, but yeah, I would say it's 225 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.960 they have a certain hatred and skepticism of Christianity, but 226 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:25.799 definitely not of Clericalism. 227 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.440 Well, and there's certain through lines in these because I 228 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.320 picked from over one hundred, right, and a lot of 229 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.159 my god, there's so many, and I went through I 230 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.360 actually did research on this, right, So there's certain through lines. Right, 231 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:42.840 Like a lot of them are products of their time. 232 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.960 They're anti Vietnam War. Many of these were made in 233 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.879 the sixties and seventies. Right, oh wow, yeah, and this 234 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.759 is again apparently the newspaper I can't remember the name 235 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.039 of a lot of them are also just shilling for 236 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:56.320 the newspaper, you know. 237 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.919 Well, I was gonna say, is this the Nation of 238 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:04.000 Islam's major newspaper, and these are the it's called Mohammed Speaks. 239 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.679 Then then it's it's called Mohammad Speaks, and that would 240 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.000 be I don't remember the guy's last name, but I 241 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.039 swear to you the guy who illustrated these I have 242 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.519 to look it up. Yeah, Okay, I was gonna say, 243 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:21.480 I was going to say this, but that means the 244 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.799 guy who created these was went by the name Eugene 245 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:35.600 triple X. Fact fact, he was basically their main illustrator. 246 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.879 I like the idea of like you heard of Malcolm X. 247 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:41.120 Now get ready for you? 248 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.679 Right, Well, if I'm not mistaken, that is that is 249 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.679 that is kind of why he took the name. If 250 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.240 I'm not mistaken, someone can look that up. But I 251 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:58.240 am pretty sure he did it, because dude, this is 252 00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.799 like a year ago, so I could be wrong, but 253 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:03.480 I I think I'm right about this. Eugene triple X 254 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.080 hated Malcolm X. They all hated Malcolm X in the 255 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.360 end because he turned away from the Brotherhood and he 256 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:14.080 went towards actual Sonia Islam, and they ended up killing 257 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:19.000 him for it. And so if I'm not mistaken, hold on, 258 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:24.039 I'm looking this up, okay. I. So, in nineteen sixty four, 259 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.000 Eugene Triple X, whose actual name is Eugene Rivers, but 260 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.159 he also went by the name my Jed. I guess, 261 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.559 he drew a comic that showed Malcolm X's severed head 262 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.919 on top of a pile of skulls. So he not 263 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.919 only did he hate Malcolm X, but it's almost definitely 264 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.919 the case that he took the name Eugene triple X 265 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.960 to be three times better than Malcolm X. 266 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.879 That's a level of pettiness that I just find incredibly abusing. 267 00:15:55.240 --> 00:16:00.320 So one of the other weird ones is dietary restrictions. Right, 268 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:05.559 So this one, oh, sure, the Devil's diet for the righteous. 269 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:14.440 Some of this is uh some of this is uh illegible, right, Uh? 270 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:16.559 I could tell I can tell you each one of 271 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:17.799 these if you're. 272 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.200 Sure, because you'll notice there's some that you can kind 273 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:24.000 of get right, like a muscle, yeah, yes, like pork 274 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.440 or alcohol or tobacco. But there's others that are just 275 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.480 baffling to me, like this will. 276 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:35.320 Be well, so this this will be obvious to you 277 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.600 when you go, oh, yeah, that makes sense. So this pork, 278 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.480 of course, right in the middle of there, there's also catfish. 279 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.039 Now catfish is a bottomed feet, so they don't eat it. 280 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.360 You're seeing the thing in the corner down there on 281 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.759 the bottom left, maybe you can see what that is. 282 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.759 But if you can't, what is that is that corn bread? 283 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.399 That is corn bread? Right, So okay, now go up 284 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:05.079 to the top left. What is that? Take a guess. 285 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.160 I have absolutely no idea. 286 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.480 Okay, it's collared greens. Are you sensing a pattern? 287 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:17.279 Yes, there's yeah, yes, I'm picking. 288 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.440 Up the pattern is of course that it's it's and 289 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.759 this is real not actually listeners should assume unless I 290 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.559 clarify here because I have a lot of knowledge on this. 291 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.480 So sad, because we spent almost a year learning about it. 292 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.079 That is the reason why you're seeing cornbread at fish 293 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:41.519 also collared greens is because it's slave raisine and so 294 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.480 this is a kind of this is a kind of 295 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:48.799 way to culturally distance themselves from I mean, these guys 296 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.839 are genuinely mentally scarred by the legacy of slavery, and 297 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:56.240 so they're trying to do everything that they can to 298 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.319 differentiate themselves from what they view as the see word 299 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.400 that ends with ann with two o's in the middle. 300 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.759 That they kind of view the majority black American population as. 301 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.839 And I assume can't rattlesnake that that has to be 302 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.799 some sort of slang because I refuse to believe that 303 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:14.720 people were canning. 304 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.519 Honestly, I don't even know what that is. I don't 305 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.680 I don't even know what that is. If I had 306 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.880 to take a guess, it's metaphorical. Yeah, I'd say it's 307 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:29.759 metaphorical to refer to any canned good as. 308 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:32.759 Well. 309 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.400 What's a snake? Right, Snakes have venom? So I guess 310 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.440 like the idea is like avoid and food because it's 311 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:43.839 it's it's just bad for you, which not a terrible no. 312 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.079 You're making me want to look some of this stuff up. So, 313 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.680 because well, I get this for sure, and. 314 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.400 Also it's worth it's worth referencing several of these. We 315 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:57.359 will see multiple takes on and Okay, the illustrations as 316 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:01.720 far as diet go to insane depths, the way that 317 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:06.000 they draw their oad is unflattering. I'll leave it at that. 318 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:09.880 Yeah, I'm sure. Okay, Before we continue here, let me 319 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.240 give you the list. So Elijah Muhammad wrote a book. 320 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:14.079 It's called How to Eat to Live. Here's some of 321 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.519 the things in it. You're not allowed to eat tuna, alibit, parp, catfish, 322 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.759 basically any fish that weighs more than fifty pounds. Turtles 323 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:29.079 and their eggs, frogs, oysters, crabs, clams, snails, shrimp, eels 324 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.839 can eat any of this. Not allowed to eat ease 325 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:35.839 unless they're sweet peas, that's fine. Canny collar greens, canny 326 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:41.519 cabbage sprouts. Can't eat turnip salad. No white potatoes, rice, pasta, grits, popcorn, 327 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:46.680 sweet potatoes. You can't eat none of that. You have 328 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.000 to have posher salt. You can't have regular salt. You 329 00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:56.039 need posher salt, and stay away from soda. Generally not 330 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:56.920 bad advice. 331 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:02.240 Yeah, honestly, they're kind of winning me around here. Uh 332 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:05.400 My Eugene Triple X top guy, I think I might. 333 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.839 I think I think I'm gonna go around calling with 334 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.240 well Eugene Quadruple Acts. 335 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.519 That that will be the the tim Cook of Timeline 336 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.279 Earth it's just you with the new name and some 337 00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:30.920 shoe polish. So another another common one, right is is 338 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:35.079 the back to Africa stuff. Right, So this one we 339 00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:40.319 have four figures, uh, one of whom is again less 340 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.319 than darna, less than a flattering sense. You're the police officer, 341 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.480 right saying you on, Americans, watch your step. Then there's 342 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:53.960 a an Indian fellow back to Europe my country, right, 343 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.160 obviously getting supposed hypocrisy. 344 00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:59.359 That's now this is interesting before we move on. Look 345 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.920 at the man's the Native Americans features here. They are 346 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:09.400 reliably Native American features, which is pretty interesting to me because, 347 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.599 as you may know, this is kind of a thing 348 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.039 that both the Black Keeper Israelites do and the Nation 349 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:20.680 of Islam do. They kind of believe that the Native 350 00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:27.759 Americans either were the original blacks and inhabited the American continent, 351 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.119 or they believe that they were Mongolians who replaced the 352 00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:35.759 original inhabitants of the continent who were blacks African people. 353 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.920 Although I think it's the Black Keeper Israelites who believe 354 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.519 the original Native Americans and some still existing groups of 355 00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.279 Native Americans were black, and I think the Nation of 356 00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.720 Islam just kind of thinks the original inhabitant indigenous inhabitants 357 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:54.000 of America who were black were replaced by Mongols. We'll 358 00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.000 call them mongols. 359 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:58.920 Well, I mean quite literally, the black keepers relate are 360 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:03.759 the origin of the you was meme? Right, is that right? Yeah? 361 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:05.279 We was kings. You know. 362 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.039 Uh. 363 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:09.920 What's actually interesting is that the uh, the Edwards comic, 364 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.319 to give him credit, he actually studied these illustrations. And 365 00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.960 you can tell because the you know, the yakubi and 366 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:20.039 white people are drawn very very similar to how you 367 00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:23.440 know this white cop is right, and so you know, 368 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:27.279 the last there's a sort of a an Uncle Tom 369 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.680 esque figure right saying me on American and then in 370 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.279 the back right which by the way, this is a 371 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:36.839 very poorly uh composed artwork. It's actually kind of hard 372 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.559 to understand what Ell is going on here. But in 373 00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.559 the background, uh, you see the you know, the the 374 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.559 Nation of Islam fellow and he says, this day every 375 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.960 man must go back to his own The earth belongs 376 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:50.279 to the original black man. 377 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:52.079 Uh. 378 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:54.559 Interesting stuff there. 379 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:57.680 Now, that is that is quite interesting. I guess I'm sorry, 380 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:00.200 maybe I'm info dumping too much, and you like not 381 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:05.359 if I am, But so that belongs to the original 382 00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:11.720 black people. Now this black people. So here's the thing. Now, 383 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.000 when you when you hear the term black people, you 384 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.319 think about Africans, right, But as far as I recall, 385 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.759 the Nation of Islam is very adamant that they are 386 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:29.759 not African. They refer to themselves as Middle Eastern or Asiatic. 387 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.480 So they don't like to be called African. They like 388 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:37.279 to be called Asiatic. And I think that's because of 389 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:39.839 the Islam thing. So that's kind of interesting to see 390 00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:40.240 in there. 391 00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:43.759 You're one hundred percent right, and we will see the 392 00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:49.599 recurrence of Asia. Right, ill defined Asia, but not Asians, right. 393 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:53.480 They don't like those guys either. So this one is 394 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:55.799 the kind of you know, anti Christian stuff, right. I 395 00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:57.960 won't read through it, but it's this kind of corpulent 396 00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:02.279 black minister with a kroker bag full of money, which 397 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:03.160 is kind of funny. 398 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.039 And I mean this absolutely exists in the black community, 399 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.960 by the way. That kind of like high rolling evangelical 400 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.599 who believes that time should go directly to his wallet. 401 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.680
