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

delliott101 #3.2.1 delliott101OG 2002

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

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

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

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Yeah, their beliefs are race oriented...

ok4now #3.2.2 ok4nowOG 2002

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