Who's been to the Academy?

[Ultimate Fist]

I remember there was a debate about the Academy in the Five Percenter thread so be real- who here has actually been there?

I haven't- wrong coast.

[froth]

i took yacub101 there

[Black Man]

i've been there

[froth]

why dont i believe you

[Kong]

i took yacub101 there

Were you really hurt by the yacub theory or something? Let it go man.... just let it go.. lol

[froth]

nah man i think its the funniest thing ive ever heard and i dont want to let it go

[froth]

plus i think its wrong to even call it a theory. if i said black people were created by pink elephants it would be the same thing.

[LHX]

it is more accurately described as a parable?

analogy?


i forget all those terms from english and philosophy class


allegory?

myth?

[froth]

allegory is more a way to describe truth or something you cant explain

i suppose it qualifies as myth, only racist myth, somewhat along the line of white supremacists or nazis

in short, pure fucking garbage

[LHX]

im not so sure man

when stripped of its racist qualities, it is a myth that describes the notion of motive and intent

which would launch it into allegory range


perhaps a poorly told allegory

[froth]

it only makes sense as allegory if you want generalize about whites

[LHX]

it only makes sense as allegory if you want generalize about whites

it is an allegory that the problems in this world developed out of conscious and deliberate intent

forget the racial aspect of it

[Black Man]

Yacub, what does his name mean? Is there any books that mention his name? If so, what are they? What did he discover when he was six? How old was he when he died? Who was his father? Where was he born?

Everybody who has something to say about this subject should be able to answer these questions.

what are the racist qualities? what is the motive and what is the intent?

[LHX]

the racist quality is using the english term 'devil' which has a blatantly negative connotation to it to refer to 'white people' which is assumed to suggest people with pale skin

the motive and intent is progress

the triumph of the logical process

the development of a new technology

setting in motion the process of creating something new
