    The alt-right and black nationalists bond online over their shared anti-semitism

    There's little difference between the alt-right and the alt-left.

    THE ALT-RIGHT AND BLACK NATIONALISTS BOND ONLINE OVER THEIR SHARED ANTI-SEMITISM

    Since the election of President Donald Trump, right-wing white nationalists—also called the “alt-right”—have been punched, chastised and ridiculed for their hateful beliefs.

    But as of last month, it looks like they might’ve found some non-white friends online.

    Minister Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, tweeted on October 13 that now was the time to bring his separatist dream to fruition: “Black people: We should be more convinced that it is time for us to separate and build a nation of our own,” he wrote.

    Soon after, leaders of the alt-right replied to Farrakhan with an invitation to join forces to realize their shared goal of an ethno-state: “This is the sort of self-determination we and the broader Alt-Right support. Would you like to discuss this in a public forum?” Jared Taylor, founding editor of the white supremacist magazine, American Resistance, asked Farrakhan.

    Later, Mike Enoch, whose podcast, The Daily Shoah, espouses anti-Semitism to its reportedly 100,000 listeners, expressed his long-held admiration for the minister. He tweeted: “I’ve always been a fan of Farrakhan Tbh.”

    Of course, it wouldn’t be an 'alt-right' Twitter party if neo-Nazi Richard Spencer didn’t chime in: “We in the Alt-Right are open for a real dialogue,” he responded to Farrakhan’s separatist message.

    A few days later, Farrakhan returned the favor. “Somebody told me that the alt-right, Mr. Trump’s people, had a tweet or something—‘we kinda like what Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam is saying, we with them to separate in a land of their own.’ I said: very good, alt-right, y’all want to talk about it? Talking has been done, nothing to talk about because now it’s either separation or death.”

    An ideological alliance between white and black nationalists makes some sense on a political level. Both groups want to form a country without the other one in it. But for Oren Segal, director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, both groups are also united by their deep hatred of Jewish people.

    “It’s unlikely that white nationalists will join rallies with the Nation of Islam, but their fundamental ideologies—which consist of anti-Semitism and separatism—are two sides of the same coin. They might have more in common than people might initially think,” he told Newsweek on Thursday.

    Farrakhan and his supporters can leave the country any time they please to find the solace they search for, and they can take their "alt-right" brethren with them.
