Why are white people called the devils children?

Answer 1

I wish I was making it up but it is a term derived from the beliefs of the Nation of Islam - an African American religious movement started in the 1930s. The dogma is as follows:

Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yakob) is according to the Nation of Islam, a black scientist who lived "6,600 years ago" and was responsible for creating the white race to be a "race of devils". The Nation of Islam theology claims that Yakub is the biblical Jacob.

Yakub is said to have been born in what would become Mecca (founded in 2000 B.C.) at a time when 30% of original black people were "dissatisfied". He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz. At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel. This insight led to a dastardly plan to create new people. He "saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man." By the age of 18 he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the "original black man" contained both a "black germ" and a "brown germ". With 59,999 followers he went to the island of Patmos, where he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies and created a brown race after 200 years. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics the white race was created

The term was usd by Malcom X, Louis Farrakhan (Nation of islam members) etc during the highly charged racial tensions of the 1960s and has since gained further attention and popularity because of it's continued usage by African American rappers. Whether they are adherents of the Nation of Islam beliefs is debatable - but the term has certainly been used by many. Example:- Ice Cube - Horny Lil Devil -. Ice Cube is a Muslim who has spoken favourably of the Nation of Islam but has denied being a member.
