"I don't see how 'black' is relevant in this situation. Muslim clearly is relevant, but I'm unclear why 'black' matters."

Dog Gone: "It matters because it specifically describes a distinct movement in the US. It's like describing a white separatist. Why does "white" matter in that description?

It matters because it conveys specific useful information."

Dog Gone,

Black Muslim = Black Nationalist
Black Nationalist = Black Separatists

They are not "Supremecist", but racist, none the less.

But what about Lindh and the shoe bomber ---both white guys ---but Muslim. Black has nothing to do with this because Colin Powell is black and so are many of our solders who would die for this country.
