Black Supremacy
The term Black Supremacy ( English for "black supremacy", "superiority of blacks") summarizes racist ideologies that propagate a superiority of black people over non-black people.
United States
Black supremacy ideologies have been widespread , especially in the United States, since the 1960s. Religious groups like the Nation of Islam demanded racial segregation in addition to their own state . The spread of this black nationalism shows that, under the sign of racism in the United States , many blacks did not see themselves as part of the American nation. Although they had fought for the United States in many wars and were officially full citizens, they could not identify with this country. World boxing champion Muhammad Ali and civil rights activist Malcolm X initially belonged to the Nation of Islam, but later resigned. Malcolm X joined the traditional Sunni direction of Islam after his pilgrimage to Mecca , Muhammad Ali became a follower of Sufism in 2005 .
In addition to the aforementioned Nation of Islam, other organizations are currently active that propagate an ideology of black supremacy, such as the New Black Panther Party , Nation of Yahweh and others.
