Black nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which holds the belief that black people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a black national identity. Black nationalist activism revolves around social, political, and economic empowerment of black communities and people, especially to resist assimilation into white American culture (through integration or otherwise), and maintain a distinct black identity.
The Nation of Islam is completely Anti-Semitic and the southern law centre tracks it as a hate group just like the kkk.
The BLM are anti-Semitic. They block roads, streets and campuses to deny access to white and sometimes Asian people. They incite assault on any white person that may have voted Trump. Their members often call for police officers and white people be killed. Malik Zulu Shabazz leader of the black Panthers is banned from entering Canada becauseof his hate speech rhetoric. The black Panthers are anti-Semitic. They've called for the genocide of all white South Africans. They advocate segregation. They have been involved in voter intimidation

Why are White nationalists villafied while Black nationalists are praised when both have similar ideologies?
Much of the information you have listed is incredibly generalized from a small fraction of a subcategory of black nationalism, and others I've not encountered at all. Not to be offensive but it comes across as a defense to white nationalist. There should be no "why can they do it but I can't". Numerous groups try to incite violence but that doesn't mean the entirety of their race, or even their particular sect of a coalition should be marginalized and treated as a whole. This question, to me, can be related to racist African Americans whom blame their hate on slavery. Slavery was deplorable and absolute inhumane injustice but I didn't make the decision for my forefathers. Simply because they were worth mention due to the indecency does not define my own agenda. And the same can be said about our brethren in their politics regarding race. Wanting to keep your own bloodline is not racist but simply a preference, or opinion. It is when we attempt to bully others into following the same beliefs as we that the rhetoric shifts from maintaining a personal identity or ideology to terrorism. I don't agree personal but if particular black or white people want to only be with those who are the same as they then so be it, that's their right to choose. What I won't stand for is violence supporting these beliefs. To conclude, we shouldn't generalize any kind of people, we have a right to maintain our own beliefs, but when one starts pushing others to follow blindly, one shows one's racism.
It all comes down to cultural Marxism that blames classes over individuals. It's inherently racist.
I just think it's funny that everyone hates Richard Spencer but when Muhammad Ali died everyone talked about how great a guy he was when they basically believed the same crap.
Honestly there are plenty worse things to be than a little racist out there, but people these days are afraid that if they don't treat them like the devil that somehow means they support their ideas.
Anyone reading this should look up that black guy who attends KKK rallies somewhere in the deep south. He goes out of his way to befriend these people who are actual racists that fly Nazi flags in their front yard in the hopes that he can be a good influence on them, and you know what? It works. He has made genuine friends with people who view his race as inferior, but they still treat each other as individuals and welcome him into their homes for family dinners. He's actually doing something to change them from the inside, and all these posers screaming ''black pride'' are doing nothing but creating hostility.
Everyone should learn a lesson or two from that man, who surrounds himself with people who have very strong opinions on him based on nothing more than the color of his skin. He befriends people not because it helps him, but because he can help them. That's something to actually be proud of.
Are they? From my vantage point on the left, I've seen both white and black nationalists criticised.
Otherwise, I agree with your post. Right wing groups like white nationalists and BLM are weirdly mirror-images of each other without seeming to realise it.
I agree with you to a certain extent - If any group stays within the realms of peaceful protest or say peaceful "Getting their point across", I will have no issue with them, I will listen to their points and comment on the views I agree or disagree with - That is to say I won't get wound up by some of the stuff they might say but I am a equal opportunitist critic if people whose general view I support go too far, I will think they are ruining the point I support by going OTT - I was actually thinking about the taking a knee and the initial peaceful protest in Charlottesville - If you were an alien you would hear Freedom of Speech/Right to Protest/Respect/Equal rights but you would walk away very confused as to what group stood for what as they become quite interchangeable.
