Black Supremacy

Template:Multiple issues Template:Discrimination sidebar

Black supremacy or black supremacism is a racist^{[Citation Needed]} ideology which is centered upon the belief or promotes the belief that black people are superior to people of other racial backgrounds and therefore - black people should politically - economically - and socially dominate non-black people. Like other racial supremacist ideologies and related social movements - it is based on a notion of biological race. In that sense - all forms of racial supremacy are essentialist ideologies that conflict with constructionist views of race. Despite these commonalities - according to most scholars of race - variants of racial supremacy differ significantly because - historically - they have wielded structural power and shaped popular and political discourses to different degrees. For example - some forms of racial supremacy have remained ideologies shared by a small faction and others have been structurally implemented on a broad social scale (see social structure and racism) by a majority.

Active organizations[edit]

Nation of Yahweh[edit]

For a more detailed treatment, see Nation of Yahweh.
The Nation of Yahweh is a Black supremacist religious group that is an offshoot of the Black Hebrew Israelites line of thought^{[Citation Needed]} - 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.^[1] Followers of the Nation of Yahweh view Black people as the only "true Jews" and believe that White Jews are the spawn of Satan.^[2] 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.^[3] 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.^[3]

New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense[edit]

For a more detailed treatment, see New Black Panther Party.
The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) - whose formal name is the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense - is a U.S.-based Black supremacist organization founded in Dallas - Texas in 1989.

The Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ[edit]

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.^[4][5][6]

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.^[5] 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.^[4]

Tribu Ka - Génération Kémi Séba[edit]

Tribu Ka was founded in 2004 by Stellio Capo Chichi ("Kémi Séba") - dubbed as "the French Farrakhan" -^[7] in Paris.^[8][9][10] The group identified itself as following Louis Farrakhan's ideology^[11] but their thinking was also described as a mix of antisemitic Kemetism and Guénonian Islam.^[12] 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.^[8][9][10] In April 2008 - a Parisian court verdict judged Génération Kémi Séba was the refoundation of the dissolved group Tribu Ka.^[13] In June 2009 - Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux ordered the dissolution of the group Jeunesse Kémi Séba - founded to replace Génération Kémi Séba.^[14][15]

For a more detailed treatment, see United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors.
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.^[16] “{{{1}}}”

Black supremacist theories[edit]

Melanin theory[edit]

For a more detailed treatment, see Melanin theory.
Template:POV Some black supremacists justify supremacist assertions by assigning superior properties to melanin based on pseudo-science 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.^[17][18] Such claims have made inroads among some African Americans within academia.^[19]

Relationship to White supremacy[edit]

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.^[20]

It should be noted that Black supremacy and White supremacy are not analogous -Template:According to whom because the nature of their development - circulation - and social magnitude vary significantly.^{[Citation Needed]} Although both ideologies maintain a belief in superior and inferior races - White Supremacy - and its various permutations - derives from a specific history of scientific racism that provided the rational foundations for - and the moral principles guiding: New Imperialism and the colonization of Africa and parts of Asia and Oceania; the Atlantic Slave Trade; Apartheid in South Africa; Jim Crow laws in the United States; eugenics; and a number of social and political structures implemented by White-led governments and collectives.^[21] Also - for many centuries - the tenets of White Supremacy (i.e. - that a racial hierarchy exists with those identified as White at the top and those raced as Black at the bottom) were reflected in "common-sense" ideas about difference among the majority of citizens in Western Europe - the United States - Australia - and New Zealand (as well as in regions annexed by European nations and the United States).^[22] Sociologist - Joe Feagin explains that the "rationalization of racial oppression by racist ideology" is the means through which systemic racism (of which White persons are not commonly victims because an inherent bias towards whiteness is what globally constitutes systemic racism) is internalized and unintentionally reproduced by many individuals.^[23] This cultural "naturalization" of White supremacist ideology (i.e. - the process through which a constructed notion becomes "natural" and "true") ^[22] and its prevalence as scientific "fact" for nearly two centuries makes it a significantly different phenomenon from Black supremacy - which emerged as a reaction against White supremacy - systemic racism - and Eurocentrism. Some argue that most political and popular discourses today carry the residue of scientific racism and White supremacy by inferring the superiority - neutrality - or normativity of White cultural forms and practices through an over-representation of such forms and practices.
