Are you Africans or Asiatics (otherwise asked why is the Tribe of Shabazz sometimes said to be of Asiatic origin)?
Members of the Tribe of Shabazz, are Aramawi People generally, and specifically those Aramawi of Kemet. First, let us state for the record that the Aramawi, no matter where they are from or located, are unequivocally and uncontrovertibly a Black African people. Second, we note that the names Africa and Asia are both of “African” origin and were used as geographic and not ethnic names. Third, we maintain that since the appelation of Asiatic to the Tribe of Shabazz is encountered amongst the Nation of Islam, 5% Nation of Gods and Earths, and those affiliated with some form of Islam, the reasons for this are best left for them to explain. We offer however that the names for Asia and Asiatic (Asiyat/Asiyati) being similar to some of the names we used for Nubia and Nubian (Ta`-Seti/Seti) were reinterpreted in order to teach our people with al-Islam (as was much of our original teaching), and to reach the mindset of our people who were in (self)denial of our Aramawi identity and in ignorance
