Universal Zulu Nation - The Beliefs of The Universal Zulu Nation

The Beliefs of The Universal Zulu Nation

As stated on its official Web site, the Universal Zulu Nation believes that in the new millennium it is time to abandon belief systems in favor of factology. The following fifteen tenets then represent the Zulu Nation of the last millennium:

  1. Belief in the Abrahamic God
  2. Belief in the validity of the Bible (Old and New), Qur'an and in the scriptures of all the Prophets of God.
  3. Belief that the scriptures have been tampered with
  4. Belief that history textbooks and other educational materials have been negatively influenced by white-supremacist doctrines
  5. "We believe in truth whatever it is. If the truth or idea you bring us is backed by facts, then we as Amazulu bear witness to this truth. Truth is truth."
  6. Belief that religion should not make adherents into a slave or zombie but should instead make them a fighter for freedom, justice, and equality for all human beings.
  7. Belief that racism is attempting to destroy civilization.
  8. Belief that humanity must stop destroying the environment.
  9. "We believe in the mental resurrection of the dead. There are many of the Human race who are blind, deaf, and dumb to the knowledge of self and others, and we feel the ones who know should teach."
  10. Belief that mathematics is the foundation of all reality.
  11. "We believe in the seen and what is to be known of the unseen. We believe in the power of the mind, and that knowledge is as infinite as God himself."
  12. Belief in equal justice for all.
  13. Belief in peace unless provoked.
  14. "We believe in power, education in truth, freedom, justice, equality, work for the people, and the up-liftment of the people."
  15. "The Universal Zulu Nation stands for knowledge, wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, equality, peace, unity, love, respect, work, fun, overcoming the negative, economics, mathematics, science, life, truth facts, faith, and the oneness of God."

It's important to understand that though the Zulu Nation website for the American branch states that these beliefs represent the Zulu Nation of the "past millennium," many Zulu Nation members and branches(old and new) still follow the 15 Beliefs as factual. Thus it can be understood that the Zulu Nation's adoption of "Factology vs Beliefs," was an effort to reorganize the Nation to be more accessible by more people of even more different belief systems, due to the ever expansion of Hip Hop culture worldwide causing a bigger need for a much more universal Hip Hop preservation society.

Famous quotes containing the words beliefs, universal and/or nation:

    “To begin to use cultural forces for the good of our daughters we must first shake ourselves awake from the cultural trance we all live in. This is no small matter, to untangle our true beliefs from what we have been taught to believe about who and what girls and women are.”
    —Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    “The almost universal bareness and smoothness of the landscape were as agreeable as novel, making it so much more like the deck of a vessel.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I have been spending my first night in an American “summer hotel,” and I despair of the Republic! Such dreariness, such whining callow women, such utter absence of the amenities, such crass food, crass manners, crass landscape!... What a horror it is for a whole nation to be developing without a sense of beauty, and eating bananas for breakfast.”
    —Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
