Talk:Dwight York

message: :“York's behavior has over the years exhibited overwhelming evidence that he suffers from some form of schizophrenia, which would account for his erratic changes of persona, massive self-aggrandizement, and his numerous fanciful and counterfactual claims about his identity. York's massive and frantic outpouring of literature, especially the tendency for it to have every word capitalized, is also consistent with such a diagnosis.”
user:Jacrosse speculates here that York is schizophrenic, based on his erratic doctrine and idiosyncratic use of language.  I think this mostly amounts to "I think he's crazy,"; though it is couched in medical-sounding language, and is therefore a POV violation.  Readers are free to come to their own conclusions about York's mental condition from the evidence of his behavior and do not need to be coached in this regard. -Moorlock 22:43, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Is there a category for Cult Leader?  Also, are there any Native American activists who have pubicly stated they find this philosphy offensive?  My Dad's Native and I find this very offensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.63.206.7 (talk) 07:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Some Mongoloid Native Americans wish to disconnect themselves from the darker Africoid Native Americans but that doesn't invalidate their indigenous statehood.  There is a plethora of evidence (ex: The Olmecs) that prove there was a migration to America by technically advanced West Africans.  Not only that, many of your so-called African slaves mated with Natives who's "indian reservations" where built right next to slave camps.  Mario Van Peebles once stated that over 90% of all so-called African Americans are part Native.  What right do you have to deny us of Native American Statehood? I classify as African American and yet my Great Grand Mother was raised on a reservation.  Nuwaubian Hotep 18:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: is mario van peebles a professional race historian? i always thought he was an actor. you know, star of such thrilling cinema as "solo" and who could forget "jaws: the revenge".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.2.134.104 (talk) 19:29, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because Nuwaubu claims that there is a "Mongloid" and "Africoid" connection does not make it so. Membership in a tribe is determined BY the tribe, not by the person making a claim.Pstanton 23:03, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Peebles is not an expert. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. had genetic experts on his TV program that said rumors of Native American ancestry among African Americans were considerably overblown. Many more African Americans have partial European than Native American ancestry. Those African Americans with Native American ancestry did not acquire it as told by Nuwabians, however.

thread_title:  Cult Leader? 

message: Dr. York was not born in 1935, and the reference link for that is empty.  I'm in the process of uploading this birth certificate, this should clarify that once and for all.  He was born in 1945.
:Here's the reference (it shows up on my machine fine, not sure why it's missing on yours): “Philips, Abu Ameenah Bilal The Ansar Cult in America Tawheed Publications 1988, p. 1 (see also: [2]). Philips shows that in 1975 York’s publications changed his declared birth year from 1935 to 1945, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the birth of The Mahdi, who is popularly believed to have been born in 1845.” -Moorlock 15:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: New scholarship by Michael Muhammad Knight convincingly argues that 1945 is the correct date and it should be updated to reflect this. The Philips book is a notoriously unreliable screed.

thread_title:  Malachi's birth 

message: Dr. York is considered a "black supremacist" by Caucasians and supporters of European rule because he teaches independence and "godship" to disenfranchised Africans, and other minority immigrants in America.  However, is this a fair connotation to use within a platform where the ultimate goal is corrected and proper analysis?
:Mostly, I think he's considered a "black supremacist" because he has consistently taught that black people are superior to people of other races, in their character, their physical makeup, and their origin. -Moorlock 15:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because of his Nuwaubu teachings, that africans essentially bred Caucasians to be a slave race, the Nuwaubu page illustrates the racist slant of his teaching more clearly.Pstanton 22:57, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Bill Osinski is not considered a valid source.  His book is mostly yellow journalism filled with half truths, loosely based opinions and lies.  His comments should be validated or removed.  The libel tag at the top of this page would indidate as such.  Why should we view his statements as valid?  What are his credentials or associations with Nuwaubu? Here's a response to Bill's Press release which easily defeats all of his moronic and tyrannical analysis of Nuwaubu. Blog about Bill's book Nuwaubian Hotep 17:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That would count as original research, Nuwaubian Hotep. Its definitely against WIkipedia policy for editors to use their own materials in articles, and I think you would have a conflict of interest in writing a review of this book. --Pstanton 06:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Where is the reference for this statement please?  In all my years studying Nuwaubu I've never heard or read Dr. York make such and outrageous claim about himself.  If no reference can be provided it should be removed. Nuwaubian Hotep 17:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry Moorlock but the reference you're citing isn't speaking about Dr. York in particular but rather the African Culture.  From what I've read in in pro Nuwaubian material (as opposed to the anti Nuwaubian material you continually cite) He (Dr. York) has never set himself higher than he laws of the United States Government.  Nuwaubian Hotep 03:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is in one of his pre-trial hearing transcripts. I have at least confirmed this and therefore am marking this thread as resolved. --Pstanton 06:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I found it, here: http://freedryork.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=20&Itemid=82 
On page 12 or so of the June 30th, 2003 hearing transcript. It actually goes on for quite a while because the judge just doesn't CARE, but York keeps forcing his lawyers to waste the Court's valuable time by making assertions of sovereignty at inappropriate times. The judge is actually forced to explain at length that the nature of the Court's jurisdiction is not the issue at hand at the hearing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pstanton (talk • contribs) 06:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone with some information of York's early life please explain his education to me (and the rest of Wikipedia). For example, he apparently has a Doctorate (as he has the "Dr." in his name) but WHAT exactly does he have a degree in? Or does he just refer to himself as a doctor due to his position as "Master-teacher"? The "Dr." implies that he holds high-level academic credentials of some sort. Can anyone comment on this?Pstanton 23:14, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Apparently he merely uses "Dr." as something to boost his reputation.Pstanton 00:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Doctorate?!

message: I'm rather confused by a point in the early life and ministry section. It says in 1964 he was put on PROBATION after pleading guilty to a MISDEMEANOR charge of raping a 13-year old girl (?!). Since when is child rape a misdemeanor, punishable merely by probation? This is a little hard to believe... He should have at least gotten several years in prison, as rape is a FELONY. Can anyone comment on this? Pstanton 22:27, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the SPLC, he was arrested in 1964 at the age of 19 for having sex with an underage, 13-year-old girl. He later went to prison when he violated his probation, as he was arrested for "possession of a deadly weapon, assault, and resisting arrest. As a result, he served three years in prison.""Nuwaubian Nation of Moors"Parkwells (talk) 12:33, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  How is it both?

message: Is there any evidence that York used the alias Chief Black Eagle?  I see an alias in the aliases section Chief Black Thunderbird Eagle," but I don't see where he used the shorter version.  Still, that redirects here at present from the Black Eagle (disambiguation) page.
I'm working on the Shoshone leader user:Duff/Chief Black Eagle article in userspace and I want to work out the disambig matter before I post it up.  To me, it seems the search for Chief Black Eagle should lead to the real guy, not the guy who may or may not have used the name as an alias.  I don't see a problem with both listings on the disambig page, but 'go' should lead to the main guy, and so should clicking on his name in that list.  I want to change the Redirect and the Disambig page to straighten that out.  Comments?  Duff (talk) 03:52, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
