Referring to Whites as "devils" originates with the teachings of Master W.D. Fard and the legend of Yakub. Fard taught Elijah Muhammad who preached the precept strongly that the white race "came about through the genetic manipulations of one of the original people (Blacks) (62)." In the legend "this 'new made man' was made to be against the righteous rule of the Almighty God of the universe," hence their reputation as devils. Also another commonly held idea was that "since the Bible took place on earth, you can catch hell on earth and the white man is the one giving hell so he must be the devil." Joseph X - former captain of the fruit of Islam
