This term gets bandied about quite a lot these days, and it seems to mean different things to different people.
So what is it?
Is it real, or just a psychological tool being used to marginalise and confuse white people in their own country as some alledge?
I'm white, and I can tell you people quite sincerely I don't feel "supreme" in any way.
I will admit I did fake it once, when I got stranded in Dharan International Airport, and the only viable solution to my serious problem not of my making, was to make it someone else's problem...
Seriously, All I needed to do was strike a folded arms pose in the empty concourse, wear a stern expression and tap my foot pointedly for about ten minutes and a guy ran up to help me!
I tried to act like a traveller in a 1950's film and it worked like gangbusters.
I didn't actually SAY "now look here, my man" but I did rather complain, and ask for a representatvie of British Airways to be summoned, on the basis that it was B.A. who had stranded me at midnight, in Dharan, at the start of one their bigger religious bank holidays whilst I am supposed to have been delivered to Rhyad!
The B.A. representative (who'd clearly been woken up!) got me a connecting fllght and a trip to a hotel for a wash and a nap before being returned to find that my connecting flight was cancelled.... Literally a melee broke out amongst my fellow travellers and in amongst the shouting I heard someone say the magic word "Taxi"...
Still playing the part of a 1950's english traveller I grabbed the nearest two shouting people and said "You need to go to Rhyad, I need to go to Rhyad, CAN WE GET A TAXI??"
Long story short, 450 kilcks to Rhyad in a monstrously large cheverolet after haggling (The others were going pay the asked rate, I lived in Brimingham at the time amongst middle eastern people, so I haggled, didn't know any better) cost me 40$ U.S....
I blame all those 1950's films. I really do. T.V. and FIlm is literally "programming". Good thing the people at the airprort must have watched some of the same films I did...
I was so out of my depth. Outside Rhyad international airprot where my taxi had dropped me, (as I did not actually HAVE a final destination, the company was supposed to have picked me up at the airport some 8 hours previously, and none of the mobile numbers given were working fro me, so once I was in place at the airprort I had to get my O/H back in the U.K. to let em know I needed picking up). A sheikh looking dude was beating a smaller man with the obviously heavy and substantial black headband of his headgear...
In Dharan I'd got used to people stopping and literally falling to the fall and praying on the hour every hour.
And I'd learned that people will do a LOT for a few dollars U$ (me included).just like over here..
When chaos erupted around me as the flights were cancelled, and people were shouting at each other, my instinct was to organise a co-operative solution of like minded people with the same objective in order to achieve my own goal.
Is that "white supremacy"?
I don't know, I was too busy trying to get to my destination and adapt to the unfamiliar environment in whch I found myself, and solve the real problems I encountered, to be worried about the colour of my co-travellers.
Seriously, what is this white supremacy they keep talking about? Is it a nickname for cocaine perhaps?
And where can I get some? ;c)
A lot of the world’s issues from the discrimination of BIPOC people, LGBTQ+ people, women and even people who are mentally disabled all stem from white supremacy ideology. Anything that is different, whether it be being anyone who’s not white, who is a woman, anyone who isn’t cisgender or straight and people with mental health issues are lesser than white people and don’t deserve respect or accommodation. This has been seen time and again throughout human history since the beginning of colonization and is in constant repeat. Look at the US right now, transgender people wanting to be accommodated to by being allowed to have the right to use thee bathroom of the gender they identify with, even in the UK you have people like J.K. Rowling screaming anti-trans rhetoric on social media just because trans people want accommodations to take a p*ss in the bathroom of the gender they identify as.
All forms of discriminations are equal to each other and are intertwined with each and stem from the same ideology of white supremacy. It’s really not that difficult to figure out or see.

You keep making personal jibes at people dude. Stop calling people idiots because of something that you obviously don’t understand or agree with because it doesn’t affect you personally. Just because you don’t want to see that all forms of discrimination that happen all stem from the same source of white supremacy doesn’t make it any less true or not something that should be considered or discussed rationally instead of going straight into personal jibes by resorting to name calling.
Kefka said:Oh you mean how idiots cherry pick one half of a sentence because they don't understand that FACTS matter more than emotional outbursts? Good for you!
You didn’t state any facts, you made excuses to justify things that are wrong. Like taxation without representation. You do know that the thirteen original colonies got aid and military protection when they were territories of the United Kingdom right? You can’t expect someone to listen to you when your rhetoric is not based in form of facts and just justification for something that is suppose to be wrong but based on your excuses is only wrong when it is done to a specific group of people, in the case of the colonies it was wrong when it was being done to white people as we all know back in the 1700s but yes, it’s okay to do to brown skin people. Keep making the excuses dude and resorting to insults. You’re only making yourself look bad, not me.
