These are all Followers of Dwight York AKA dr Malachi York Who was their master teacher He did a dIddy before DIddy did a dIddy. Got a ridiculous amount of counts of child abuse pedophilia etc They locked them up for over 100 something years. And I believe he didn't promote black power more like black supremacy. In the 90s his name got thrown around in rap a lot He taught his followers Judaism Christianity and Islam Esoteric, Egyptian Mystery, Gnosis, Wrote a bunch of books Including one saying he's from the planet Rizay
