are they the blacks who think they are the rightful sons of Israel and are "real" Jews, and that hate the "fake" Jews?

deanh77Founder · Dec 24, 2002

I thought they were called the Black Knights?

delliott101OG 2002 · Dec 25, 2002

or the Black Panthers?

ok4nowOG 2002 · Dec 25, 2002

totally different.

delliott101OG 2002 · Dec 25, 2002

Any Group that thinks their race is superior over others is all the same to me...

ok4nowOG 2002 · Dec 26, 2002

but i don't think the 5 percenters are about race, are they?

delliott101OG 2002 · Dec 26, 2002

Yeah, their beliefs are race oriented...

ok4nowOG 2002 · Dec 25, 2002

you're thinking of 'the knights who say "Nit"'
