Black supremacy or black supremacism is a racist ideology which promotes the belief that black people are superior to people of other racial backgrounds and that therefore blacks should politically, socially and economically dominate non-blacks. In the 1960s, Martin Luther King Jr. said that a doctrine of black supremacy was as dangerous as a doctrine of white supremacy.

Overview

As is the case with pro-white groups and individuals labelled as white supremacist, pro-black organizations and individuals that have been labelled as black supremacist or as hate groups/individuals may actually advocate views such as black nationalism or black separatism. However, in a broad sense, forms of black privilege and advocacy for such privileges for black people, but not for some other groups, has been argued to be a form of black supremacy. In turn, this would make black supremacy a very widespread phenomenon.[1]

In post-apartheid South Africa, there are various influential black individuals and groups supporting views such as subjugation and genocide of white South Africans. A commonly cited example being that various leaders of the African National Congress have sung the song "Kill the Boer", which is often cited as an example of anti-white racism, which calls for violence against Boers, the wider Afrikaner ethnic group, white farmers, or even white South Africans generally. Another example is members of a black South African student organisation calling for genocide of all white men in South Africa. Such views are claimed to have had an influence in the ongoing South African farm attacks and other mass killings of white South Africans.[2] More generally, the African National Congress, as well as breakaway parties including the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and Black First Land First (BLF), have often been cited as black supremacist organizations, demanding and implementing policies that white South Africans should not be allowed to own land and with white South Africans discriminated in various ways.

In certain parts of Africa, Congo Pygmies are often enslaved by Bantu peoples. In association with the wars and related conflicts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, there have been various cases of cannibalism, rapes, and mass killings of Pygmies. Some critics of Rastafarianism and black liberation theology have cited some aspects of those ideologies as forms of black racism and/or supremacism. The Black Lives Matter movement has also been cited by various opponents, including black critics, as a black supremacist organization. Mainstream media organizations capitalizing the word "Black" when referring to black people, but not "White" when referring to white people (such as Associated Press), can also be considered an endorsement of black supremacy. However, in sources such as the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center, the black supremacist and/or hate group label is only applied to a small number of pro-black organizations. Several prominent members of these organizations have espoused anti-Semitic and/or anti-LGBT views, which, for this very reason, is why these particular organizations have been designated as hate groups.

Active organizations

Nation of Islam

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

In the 1930s, the Nation of Islam emerged, coming to prominence during the 1960s, when charismatic minister (Black civil right activist) Malcolm X became a spokesman for the movement. The group's founders, "Master Fard" Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad, preached the Doctrine of Yakub, which held that the Original Man was an "Asiatic black man". White people, it contended, were "grafted" from black people 6,000 years ago by an ancient black scientist named Yakub.

The belief in sacrificial killing and ritualistic murder was part of the early Nation of Islam doctrine. Fard thought explicitly that it was the duty for every Muslim to offer as sacrifice four "Caucasian devils". A portion of Fard's lesson reads as follows:

Why does Fard Mohammad and any Moslem murder the devil? What is the duty of each Moslem in regard to four devils? What reward does a Moslem receive by presenting the four devils at one time? — Because he is one hundred percent wicked and will not keep and obey the laws of Islam. His ways and actions are like a snake of the grafted type. So Mohammad learned that he could not reform the devils, so they had to be murdered. All Moslems will murder the devil because they know he is a snake and also if he be allowed to live, he would sting someone else. Each Moslem is required to bring four devils, and by bringing and presenting four at one time his reward is a button to wear on the laple of his coat, also a free transportation to the Holy City of Mecca.

—Master Fard Mohammad, Lesson #1.

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan later argued that the lessons about murdering devils was only a metaphor designed to "rally NOI members to 'slay whites' psychological and social grip on them" but Fard's lessons on the murder of white people in at least one instance were taken literally and verbatim:

One afternoon in the early 1970s, when Ali K. Muslim, then Charles 41x, was guarding the temple, a man carrying a sack asked to meet a temple official. The man, thoroughly confused about Elijah Muhammad's teachings, believed that if he killed four white "devils" he would win a trip to the Holy Land. He had come to redeem his prizes. In the sack, Ali K. Muslim says, were four severed heads.[5]

This teaching also culminated in the creation of the Death Angels, a small splinter group of the Nation of Islam. Between 1972 and 1974, the Death Angels murdered 14 white people in the San Francisco Bay Area. These murders later would become known as the Zebra murders because the police used Radio Z to communicate about the case.

Elijah Muhammad also preached black self-reliance, black separatism, cooperative economics, strict moral and physical discipline, and opposition to black-white miscegenation. Since its founding, the NOI has gone through reorganizations and internal conflicts, but even as it moves closer to the mainstream of Islamic belief and practice, the NOI leadership has not rejected formally any of Fard's doctrines. It opposes any changes in the major beliefs and programs that were instituted by Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad, including the annual "Savior's Day".

Members of the NOI have been publicly criticized by the leadership for making anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, anti-white and anti-homosexual statements, and for urging the murder of such people. Farrakhan has been banned from entering the United Kingdom since 1986 because of his "racist and anti-Semitic views".

Most historians and social scientists classify the Nation of Islam as a black nationalist, or black separatist, organization. The Southern Poverty Law Center, until recently headed by Morris Dees, placed the Nation of Islam on its list of hate groups.[3]

Nation of Yahweh

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

The Nation of Yahweh is a Black supremacist religious group that is an offshoot of the Black Hebrew Israelites line of thought, and was founded by Yahweh ben Yahweh, meaning "God the Son of God" in Hebrew, formerly known as Hulon Mitchell Jr. At its height, the Nation of Yahweh controlled an $8 million empire of properties, including a Miami headquarters known as the Temple of Love and temples in 22 states.[4] Followers of the Nation of Yahweh view Black people as the only "true Jews" and believe that White Jews are the spawn of Satan.[5] According to the Crime Library, followers of the Nation of Yahweh formed a secret group called "The Brotherhood". To become a member of The Brotherhood, applicants had to kill a "White devil" and bring Mitchell a body part - an ear, nose or finger - as proof of the kill. Several Nation of Yahweh members were convicted of conspiracy in more than a dozen anti-White murders, among them Robert Rozier, a former pro football player and member of the secret Brotherhood, who admitted to the killing of seven White people.[6] Mitchell started a private school for his followers and held sex classes for boys and men in which he showed them movies of white women having sex with animals to dissuade them from lusting after white females.[6]

New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

The New Black Panther Party (NBPP), whose formal name is the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, is an African American political organization founded in Dallas, Texas in 1989. The NBPP attracted many breakaway members of the Nation of Islam when former NOI minister and spokesman Khalid Abdul Muhammad, who was expelled from the group for his virulent anti-Semitism and racism, became the national chairman of the NBPP from the late 1990s until his death in 2001.[7] Following his death, the NBPP was led by Malik Zulu Shabazz, who is also known for his extremist views.[8]

The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ

The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ (ICGJC), formerly known as the Israeli Church of Universal Practical Knowledge, is a Black Hebrew Israelite Christian group which accepts the Old and New Testaments as well as the Apocrypha, as inspired Scripture, and which believes that specific people of African and West Indian descent are the lost 12 tribes of Israel and are the true racial and Biblical Jews. They have historically claimed racial superiority to Caucasians, and claim to have divine favor and inspiration. ICGJC World Headquarters is located in New York City, New York, United States.[9][10][11]

The ICGJC and its various splinter groups can be loosely grouped together as sects which advocate a King-James-Version-only approach to the Bible (i.e. they only endorse the KJV as scripture), and the belief that Caucasians are Edomites.[10] The Israelite Church is nontrinitarian, but believes that Jesus Christ is God's divine Son and Messiah, and Redeemer for sinful Israelites. The ICGJC also holds to strong apocalyptic views of the end of the world.[9]

Tribu Ka, Génération Kémi Séba

Tribu Ka was founded in 2004 by Stellio Capo Chichi ("Kémi Séba"), dubbed as "the French Farrakhan",[12] in Paris.[13][14][15] The group identified itself as following Louis Farrakhan's ideology[16] but their thinking was also described as a mix of antisemitic Kemetism and Guénonian Islam.[17] After an investigation of racist incitement, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy dissolved Tribu Ka on July 26, 2006 but it reformed under the name Génération Kémi Séba.[13][14][15] In April 2008, a Parisian court verdict judged Génération Kémi Séba was the refoundation of the dissolved group Tribu Ka.[18] In June 2009, Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux ordered the dissolution of the group Jeunesse Kémi Séba, founded to replace Génération Kémi Séba.[19][20]

United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

The United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors was founded by Dwight York. The Nuwaubians believe in black people's superiority to white people, that white people are "devils", devoid of both heart and soul, that the color of white people is the result of leprosy and genetic inferiority, and that the ancestors of white people are the sexual partners of dogs and jackals.[21]

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Among the different species of Apeman you have the black-haired Lar. This is where you get the word 'lord,' or master from. The Lares, plural for Lar, were recognized for their intelligence. These Lares were the head monkeys or spiritual monkeys, well known. This is where the word 'monks' comes from. Certain beings used the species known as the Baboon (part hyena, jackal and monkey) together with Orangutans for breeding. This resulted in your Behaymaw (called the beast of the field) type of carnivorous man called Mankind, one of the many species of Caucasians.[22][23]

White people (sometimes also referred to as "Amorites", "Hyksos", "Canaanites", "Tamahu", or "Mankind") are said in one myth to have been originally created as a race of killers to serve black people as a slave army.

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

The Caucasian has not been chosen to lead the world. They lack true emotions in their creation. We never intended them to be peaceful. They were bred to be killers, with low reproduction levels and a short life span. What you call Negroid was to live 1,000 years each and the other humans 120 years. But the warrior seed of Caucasians only 60 years. They were only created to fight other invading races, to protect the God race Negroids. But they went insane, lost control when they were left unattended. They were never to taste blood. They did, and their true nature came out.… Because their reproduction levels were cut short, their sexual organs were made the smallest so that the female of their race will want to breed with Negroids to breed themselves out of existence after 6,000 years. It took 600 years to breed them, part man and part beast.[24]

Bobo Shanti

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

The Bobo Shanti are a mansion within the Rastafari movement and, led by the late Charles Edwards, preach an argued form of black supremacy based on the original teachings of Leonard Howell and on the teachings of Marcus Garvey. The Bobo say they are not racist, arguing instead that the concepts of "white" and "black" are symbolic, and that a Caucasian could be morally "black", or righteous, and that a man of African descent could be morally "white", or wicked.

Black supremacist theories

Many of these theories espouse an ideology of a past Black Supremacy in the world that adherents believe has been lost. Some focus on claiming this supremacy by claiming blacks are the chosen people in one religion or another as seen in the Nation of Islam or the Black Israelites. Others claim extra terrestrial intervention, such as the Nuwaubians or the Nation of Islam. Two trends have acquired a veneer of respectability in many places of Black Academia and Black Studies departments; the Melanin Theory, and Afrocentrism/Global Pan-Africanism.

Melanin theory

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Some black supremacists justify supremacist assertions by assigning superior properties to melanin based on pseudoscience and distortions of scientific fact or speculation. This body of belief is known generally as "Melanin theory". The central idea of the Melanin theory is that the levels of melanin in dark skin naturally enhance intelligence and emotional, psychic and spiritual sensitivity.[25][26] Such claims have made inroads among some African Americans within academia.[27]

Alliances with white supremacist groups

Due to some overlapping separatist ideologies, some black supremacist organizations have found a small number of common goals with white supremacist or other extremist organizations. In 1961 and 1962 George Lincoln Rockwell, the leader of the American Nazi Party, for example, was invited to speak by Elijah Muhammad at a Nation of Islam rally.[28]

In 1965, after breaking with the Nation of Islam and denouncing its separatist doctrine, Malcolm X told his followers that the Nation of Islam under Elijah Muhammad had made agreements with the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan that "were not in the interests of Negros."

In 1985, Louis Farrakhan invited white supremacist Tom Metzger, leader of the White Aryan Resistance (a white power group), to attend a NOI gathering. The Washington Times reports Metzger's words of praise: "They speak out against the Jews and the oppressors in Washington. ... They are the black counterpart to us." The NOI also has established working relationships with a number of multi-ethnic organizations, including the Unification Church, which was a cosponsor of the Million Family March.
