I don't think they promote violence. Their claim of the black man being "God" could obviously be viewed as racism.. but I think they are non-violent.

A lot of cats (in Hip-Hop and on the street) might say "waddup Gawd" but aren't nessecciliary a 5%er. Like with being a Muslim, I think the 5% has become a trend for a lot of Urban Black males.

No, it is in the Bible and probably used in pre-20th century Literature.

No, but I think the majority of cats are relating terms like that back to the 5% teachings (whether they fully believe in everything they teach or not).

The Black man is God to them because they believe the Black man is the "original" man (the first man to evolve into huminoid from apes) and being "white" (having a lack of skin melanin?) is a recessive gene.. which would make the black man (with the dominate gene) the supreme being.. and thus God.

I think this little theory of theirs extends to other non-whites (something to do with Asiatic peoples) but I am not sure.
