Criticism of the Nation has come from both non-black and black individuals, amongst them African-American civil rights activists like the NAACP's Roy Wilkins, who considers it a hate group. The group has repeatedly been accused of stirring up racial hatred against whites; in a 1993 speech at Kean College, the NOI representative Khalid Abdul Muhammad stated that White South Africans should be given 24 hours to leave their country, with any remaining after that point being killed. Amongst the Nation's critics are the Southern Poverty Law Center, which accuses it of promoting black supremacism as well as anti-LGBT rhetoric.
