Slang for a White person. A derivation of the word "Yakubian" which is used in some Islamic Black Nationalist groups to denote either a particularly bad white person, or the whole of the white race, the latter commonly identifying whiteness with an innate savagery and/or barbarity.

One account from the Black Nationalist group the "Nation of Islam," portrays Yakub as a scientist from 6600 years ago, living in a since lost highly technologically advanced civilization of Black people around the Hejaz area. For some reason, varyingly bullying or a form of anti-blackness, Yakub decided to create the White race through selective breeding on an island called "Pelan" which is identified with Patmos in modern Greece, making every other race along the way until the White race was created and then killed Yakub, unleashing barbarity and savagery upon the world.

The phrase has since been co-opted by some Whites ironically, due to the origin story of the white race within these doctrines being seen as comical.
