"The NGE has been controversial since its inception in the 1960s. It teaches its members that black people are the “original” people and that the “white devil” was created thousands of years ago by a black scientist."

Or in other words these are black muslims following the theology of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

The NGE? Never heard of them.

Is that acronym pronounced niggee?

Cause I could so totally see that. You know, from a phonetical perspective.

A teaching promoted even earlier by Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. This was the "religion" adopted by Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay), a fact never, ever pointed out by the press, especially his main PR man, Howard Cosell.

Bear that in mine the next time some retrospective or glorified news story praising Ali comes on.
