The Nation of Islam is a political and religious group with a race-based, pro-black philosophy. The group was founded in Detroit, Michigan by Wallace D. Fard Muhammad in July 1930. It is active primarily in America.
They believe that black people are racially superior to other races, and that the "blue-eyed devils" (whites) were selectively bred from blacks by an evil black scientist named Yakub, whose work supposedly took hundreds of years for him and his disciples to fully whiten his creations, with the intent to enslave the black race.
