Both movements appear to aim for separatism. I can see how they might disagree on immaterial historical claims. But in terms of practical actions they seem to me to be identical.

Is there any difference between black supremacism and white supremacism?

White supremacists have a history of exerting significant power in the west and using it to oppress people. Non-white supremacists have rarely had any significant power to enact their policies.

More over white supremacy was a mainstream political movement for a while, particularly in the 1930s and following decades, but black supremacy has never been so in the developed world.

Even ideologically they differ significantly. White supremacists tend to point to western civilization as proof that white people are superior, and use historical racist ideas about race in their arguments. Black supremacists tend to cite the poor treatment of black people by whites, particularly slavery, to create a moral argument in favour of subjugation and genocide.

In terms of practical actions white supremacists have a lot more "infrastructure" and their politics are at the fringes of powerful mainstream parties like the Republicans in the US and various far right parties in Europe. They have been able to enact policies that create systemic racism, both historically and in the present. Black supremacists have little political power outside of a few African nations.

    This answer could be vastly improved by citing some sources. Especially considering that it is about such a controversial topic. – Philipp Jul 12 '18 at 13:21

    So would "a few African nations" be appropriate places to compare with "the west?" Also, historically, is it the Republicans who had association with white supremacists? Also, how much actual power do white supremacists have in "the west?" Something like 3000 KKK members left in the USA according to the ADL. Compare that to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_of_Yahweh. –  Jul 12 '18 at 14:25
  • Took guts to even broach this question. +1 Philipp is right though, you need to source your points if you can. –  Jul 12 '18 at 17:37

    @puppetsock white supremacy was a well established part of the southern democrats until around the 50s when they started a mass exodus from the party. The Republicans went after this demographic in the 70s with the "southern strategy" and that's how we ended up where we are today. As for numbers, note the KKK is just one of many white supremacist groups/orgs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_white_nationalist_organizations#United_States –  Jul 12 '18 at 17:58

    @puppetsock Our own current US president has both shown public support for and received support from neo-confederates and white supremacists. He hasnt openly claimed the label for himself or restated their views, because dog whistling is effective. And yes, historically the people who are currently Republicans are the ones who had associations with white supremacists. When a block of voters and politicians switch parties, they dont get to blame their own deeds on the remainder of the previous coalition who fought against their positions and caused them to switch. You just linked to a cult. – Tal Jul 12 '18 at 18:13
  • What is your scope for both WS and BS? It seems (although I may be misunderstanding) that you are comparing American WS with worldwide BS. – CGCampbell Jul 13 '18 at 11:52
  • " Non-white supremacists have rarely had any significant power to enact their policies." Depends how you want to define that. Arguably tribal conflicts (e.g. Rwanda) can fall under this umbrella –  Jul 13 '18 at 12:17

    "Even ideologically they differ significantly" I'd argue this is the only relevant part of the answer. The fact that white supremacists have had power in the past is more difference of circumstance than of the movements themselves –  Jul 13 '18 at 12:19
  • @Orangesandlemons: I don't think that distinction can be made. Circumstances influence ideology. That is a main reason why Black separatism is more common than Black supremacy in the US, in my opinion. Whereas in the white case it's hard to find any (US) examples of white separatism that aren't supremacist. – the gods from engineering Apr 06 '19 at 07:49
  • Which supremacism is worse in terms of pure ideology? Their ability to actually accomplish the task doesn't matter here –  Mar 02 '21 at 19:49
