Jay-Z raised eyebrows at the Barclay's Center last week when he wore a medallion symbolizing the Five Percent Nation.

The Brooklyn-born rapper was sitting court-side at a Nets game on Tuesday with wife Beyonce when he was snapped wearing the controversial symbol.

One of the core tenants of the Five Percent Nation - an off-shoot of the Nation of Islam - is that white people are 'wicked and inferior' to black men.

When asked by a reporter whether the medallion is meaningful to him, Jay-Z shrugged and said 'A little bit'.

This isn't the first time that the rapper has been connected to the Five-Percenters.

He was photographed wearing another similar medallion while giving radio interviews for his album Magna Carta Holy Grail last summer.

And in 'Heaven' a track on that album, Jay-Z references the Five-Percenters acronym for Allah by rapping 'Arm leg leg arm head'.

The Five Percent Nation was founded in 1963 by Clarence Smith, a former student of Malcolm X.

But Smith decided to split off from the Nation of Islam after disagreeing over the idea of God.

A Jay Z thread and a race thread all rolled into one neat little package

I don't think you can relate it to the same extent as the kkk, since the kkk was actually responsible for the huntings and killings of innocent black individuals. The chain Jay is wearing is a form of expression that is within constitutional rights. Believing one race is superior than another is different than intending to murder those within the race specifically

you are right in that those two groups were uber extreme, but believing ones race is superior is the textbook definition of racism...

believing that one race who has brainwashed another should not apologize nor accept that new teachings that we created since we couldn't have theirs is the real crime..

peace
 
I'm sure that symbol means more than just labeling other races as "inferior". It also encourages strength, empowerment, and pride within the community as well. I think the article only touched upon that aspect of it to stir controversy and to play the blame game. Jay's intentions for wearing it may be geared toward its other possible meanings.
