Peekskill is not "typical Westchester." It is a struggling older Hudson River town marked by social and economic problems. Lots of crime, drug problems - especially in public housing areas. Peekskill schools have a poor reputation and are heavily "diverse."
I'm sure a 7 year old uses words like paradigm.
"I wonder if her parent know they are raising a racist?"
Not sure if it was posted this way on purpose, but I noticed the lack of a plural in that question??? : )
Hmmmmm?
Yes and the slave traders were generally Moslem Arabs who in turn sold them to the white slavers along the coast.
Present day slavery is pretty much confined to Moslem countries, ask Calypso Louie to sing about that!
Columbus, maybe, but Morgan was a pirate, out for himself, and Darwin was a biologist....??? How did they have any part of the slavery thing?
Additionally, I find it very hard to believe that a 7 year old "prodigy" would be able to use the word "paradigm" properly.
For an explanation of how the Nation of Islam believes white people came into being, see below. The NOI has not repudiated these beliefs, they just don't talk about them much anymore.
In the Nation of Islam, both God and the devil are human beings. Elijah Muhammad identified the devil as the white man, the Caucasian race. According to Elijah, though the black race is many trillions of years old, the white race began a mere six thousand years ago with Yakub, one of the Black Gods of this time cycle.[15]
Elijah explained, "The white race is not equal with darker people because the white race was not created by the God of Righteousness. . . . They were made by Yakub, an original Black Man—who is from the Creator. Yakub, the father of the devil, made the white race, a race of devils—enemies of the darker people of the earth. The white race is not made by nature to accept righteousness."[16]
According to Elijah Muhammad, Yakub was born 20 miles from the Holy City of Mecca about 6,600 years ago. From the age of six he knew he was "born to make trouble, break peace, kill and destroy his own people with a made enemy to the black nation." He had a very large head and grew up to be called "the big head scientist." He decided to conquer and subdue the black race, and through lies he gathered 59,999 followers, whom the King of Mecca exiled to the island of Patmos. There Yakub worked to create the white race by allowing marriage only between brown or lighter-skinned Negroes and by killing all newborn black babies. His followers obeyed him; the penalty for disobedience was decapitation.[17]
Yakub died after 150 years, but his project to make a race of lawless criminals lived on (Elijah's term for this misguided eugenics project was "grafting"). After two hundred years, only brown people were left alive. After another 200 years, Patmos was home to only yellow and red people. At the end of "the six hundredth year, Mr. Yakub had an all-pale white race of people on this Isle," said Elijah Muhammad.[18]
The white race left the island and returned to Paradise (Mecca). But in less than six months they had caused warfare and controversy among the people, so the King of Mecca had them escorted to Europe by "a caravan, armed with rifles, to keep the devils going westward." Here begins the white man's history, for he was granted six thousand years to rule the earth.
The first two thousand years were squandered while the whites lived as naked savages in the caves of Europe, eating their meat raw and without even a knowledge of fire. They tried to "graft" themselves back to black by reverse breeding, but succeeded only in making gorillas (this is the origin of the monkey and gorilla family).[19] Then Moses came to them. He taught them how to wear clothes, use fire, cook their food, and to believe in Allah. The whites rejected Moses, who set a trap and blew up three hundred of them with dynamite,[20] but it was through Moses' efforts that the teaching of civilization gradually seeped into the mind of the white man. Over the centuries, the white man used this knowledge, combined with his innate craftiness and "tricknology," to dominate the world.
The twenty-four God-Scientists who wrote the history of this world foreordained that the period of white rule should be limited to six thousand years. To accomplish this, "the Black Man or Gods were put to sleep in order that the Wisdom of the Black Man did not interfere with what the white man is made for (to rule us under wickedness, enslavement, deceit, murder, and death for six thousand years)."
It's very unlikely that the kid wrote that crap herself. It was probably one of her parents, trying to succeed through their daughter where they failed in life. It has fraud written all over it.
Sad but true...I mispronounced that word as pa-RAD-i-gum until I was in college. Nobody had the heart to correct me before then.
The Nation of Islam is an organization that espouses crackpot racial theories that are even MORE absurd than Heinrich Himmler's SS or Nathan Hale's World Church of the Creator. Compared to the former, the latter are models of rational scientific discourse.
