Nation of Islam biography[edit | edit source]

Early life[edit | edit source]

The Nation of Islam believes that Yakub was born at a time when 70% of people were satisfied and 30% were dissatisfied. He began school when he was four and had graduated from every university in his nation by the age of 18. After preaching in Mecca, the authorities exiled him and 59,999 of his followers to the island of Patmos in what is now Greece.[1]

Eugenics experiments[edit | edit source]

Yakub discovered that humans contained a dominant black allele and a recessive brown allele. A third of people born on Patmos showed traces of brown, and Yakub only allowed these people to breed. He only allowed brown children to survive and killed the others. He died on the island at the age of 152, and his followers continued his experiments for hundreds of years.[1]

Legacy[edit | edit source]

Yakub's followers successfully created whites 800 years after they first went to Patmos. The whites lived in trees and walked on all fours. After 600 more years, they returned to the mainland and caused wars between the Black people by lying, leading the Black people to exile the whites to caves in Europe. They continued living in caves for two thousand years before taking over the world.[1]

Controversies[edit | edit source]

While Muslims uphold Yakub as a prophet, most reject his role in the creation of whites.[1] Although his followers supposedly finished creating whites in the fourth millennium BCE, no official documents use the term "white" in terms of race until 1691, suggesting that the white race is a much more recent creation.[2]

Cultural impact[edit | edit source]

In recent years, Yakub has become a meme on the Internet, chiefly for his depiction as a man with a very large head, often used as a comedic image to imply either extreme intelligence, irony or mock superiority, e.g. someone making a convoluted "galaxy brain" statement. The online database Know Your Meme added an entry for Yakub in April 2022, and notes its online spread going as far back as 2015.[3]
