>>The Five Percenters >> >> Many would call them a street gang, or a >>prison group, or just plain thugs, but The 5 >>Percenters are trying to portray something quite more >>than that. The are commonly referred to as the 5 >>Percenters, but also known as "the poor righteous >>teachers". Their history is brief yet detailed, their >>beliefs are quite different from what most people >>believe, and the people that are apart of this will >>alarm you. In no way I'm I advertising this as a new >>form of religion to be persuaded into. I do not agree >>with their views, but I do find them very interesting. >> First we will start with the history of the 5 >>Percenters. This particular movement, like the Nation >>of Islam, derives its teaching from Islam. The 5 >>Percenters and the Nation of Islam derive their >>teachings from Islamic beliefs, but they do not >>practice them as traditionally as the Islamic do. The >>5 Percenters were started in 1964 by Clarence Jowers >>Smith, a youth minister with the Nation of Islam's >>Mosque No. 7 run by Malcolm X. He left the Nation of >>Islam with the intent of spreading his beliefs >>throughout Harlem, which is now the center of the 5 >>Percenters. He changed his name to Allah, and began >>his teachings. Unfortunately he was assassinated in >>1969, in a Harlem basement, but his legacy and >>teachings still leaves on today. Although their >>teachings are derived from Islam's, they follow a very >>non-traditional way of life. They believe that the >>black man is god, and the black woman is earth. They >>also believe that the black man was the first human >>creation, and that the white man was made from the >>black man. The white man then in turn tricked the >>black man into slavery. The true basis of their >>beliefs is called the Supreme Mathematics. Which >>means that there is the whole population represented >>by 100%. 85% of the population does not know the >>truth, 15% know the truth, but 10% uses that truth for >>purposes of evil and keeping the 85% in the dark. >>Then there are the 5% that know the truth and tries to >>teach the 85% of the population. These are the "poor >>righteous teachers. The 10% have been referred to as >>the devil by the 5 percenters. They have also been >>refereed to as most religious leaders, such as the >>Pope. They center their beliefs on the family, and >>peace. Although they seem to have good intentions, >>they are often viewed as a gang. Detective Louis >>Jordan (an ex-gang member, now a gang expert) says >>that there about 400 real Five Percenters, and a gang >>of about 60. Detective Louis Jordan calls the gang >>of 60 the "jive percenters". They use the Five >>Percenters for negative purposes. The real Five >>Percent believe that God is in all of them. They do >>not believe that there is a God in heaven that is >>watching over us. Rather they are Gods, and that they >>should pray to themselves, not anyone else. They are >>in control of their own fate and decide their future. >> >> The Five Percenters has had a lot of negative >>publicity since its inception. Largely because the >>mass media views them as a gang. Which they claim >>they are not. An FBI report is now available on the >>internet that classifies them as a gang, and goes on >>to name a number of events that they say are gang >>related (http://foia.fbi.gov/5percent.htm). The Five >>Percenters are all black, but they do not discriminate >>on other races, but only blacks can be Gods and >>Earth's. Thus, other nationalities can only observe >>rather than participate to the full extent. Some of >>the people that are well known that participate in the >>Five Percenters will alarm you. Triple Platinum >>artist, Erykah Badu, sings about the Five Percenters >>in almost every song. In her popular song, On and On, >>Erykah Badu sings, "If we were made in his image then >>call us by our names, Most intellects do not believe >>in god but they fear us just the same," She continues, >>"I was born under water with 3 dollars and 6 dimes >>Yeah you might laugh 'cause you did not do your math," >>She is reffering to some of their mathematical belifs >>mentioned earlier. In a Nas song called "Life's A >>Bitch" AZ exclaims, "cause yeah, we were beginners in >>the hood as five percenters, But something must of got >>in us cause all of us turned to sinners". Other >>famous acts that preach the message of the Five >>Percenters are the Wu-Tang Clan, Outkast, and more. >>That surprises me because we are digesting messages >>that we have no idea about. People sing their lyrics, >>listen to there message, and have absolutely no idea >>what they are hearing. The Five Percenters have >>unique ideas, and an even more unique history. Their >>plans for the future of their movement in unknown, and >>the way they go about doing it is already angering >>many people. The people that associate with them that >>are in the limelight and help spread the message are >>common names in urban and suburban homes. Their >>messages come across our television and we don't even >>know it. If this movement interests you I suggest >>researching it thoroughly, but I have found that most >>information is biased. They haven't persuaded me to >>ditch my religion, but they have done so with a lot of >>people, and they are forcing their way into the black >>community.
