Yakub: The Father of Mankind

Rating:
Summary: excellent
Review: Everyone with a true knowledge of the bible knows that Adam and Eve were not the start of civilization history has proved that. Adam and Eve were created in a region of people of color. That means Adam and Eve were not white. When Kane killed Able he was banished from the garden of Eden and went away and married whom did he marry if there was not life before them. This is excellent reading for the black man and woman. It will certainly be disturbing to those whom are not brown.

Summary: Nothing but trash for ignorant people
Review: This book is a bunch of crackpot nonsense from Elijah Poole (aka Elijah Muhammad) on how a mad scientist named Yakub supposedly created a White race of devils to create hell for the Black man on earth.

This book (like most of Elijah's teachings) is designed for the most ignorant of African Americans who are full of hatred and blame all of their shortcomings on others. One reviewer for Elijah's equally whacked out "Message to the Blackman" (the source of much of this material) noted that the people who gravitated to this that he knew were usually social losers. My experience has been the same. It is true that "for every action there is a reaction" and that it was inevitable that the mistreatment of Blacks in America would produce violent flipsides to Martin Luther King. But hateful teachings of this kind does nothing but compound the problem and attracts ignorant lowlifes with violent tendencies (learn how and why Malcolm X was killed for example).

Fortuantely, few people today listen to this mess and it will linger in the historical scrap heap where it belongs as society makes progress in such matters.
