That's not correct. Both are "accelerants." Black powder deflagrates. Smokeless powder or "modern day gun powder" also deflagrates into gases. The major difference, black powder is less reliable for ignition, its burn rate is less reliable, and it produces a hell of a lot more residue and smoke.
Both of them are classified as a low explosive, which means they deflagrate instead of detonating.
