What is this "White Supremacy" I keep hearing about?

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.

  • Women are generally scared of being r*ped, and allowing anyone to self-identify as a woman is a concern. Predators will take advantage of this situation. It's not that all transpeople are predators, but there's no safeguards for women set in place to protect them.

    Not all forms of discrimination are equal to each other. To discriminate against today's white people, for what the white people in the past have done, is wrong. Judging someone based on the color of their skin, is wrong. That's discrimination. And there were white people in the past who have helped black people escape slavery in the US. They helped black people escape to Canada, where they were free from slavery. So why hate on all white people? Also, white people didn't invent slavery. Africans enslaved other africans, and sold people off to other countries. 

    To lump everyone into one category, and then hate on them all collectively, has created suffering in history time and time again.

    There are people who still are racist to this day, just look at the US. As for not all discrimination are equal,  the definition of discrimination as given by the OxfordLanguages that appears when you Google it says “the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of ethnicity, age, sex, or disability.” So based on the definition all discrimination is equal as it is included in the definition. Also, there are many people who are members of multiple minority groups, I for example fall under three categories, disabled, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC. You also have black women who can face both racism and sexism at the same time. There are trans black women who can face racism, sexism and transphobia all at once. I just don’t think it’s wise to state that not all forms of discrimination are equal when people can fit into multiple minority groups and face multiple forms of discrimination all at once…

  • yeah, and that looks like your now just spouting all of this to cause trouble for a laugh, you gave up the game, your just a standard troll probably not even believing in all this lunacy

  • You seem blind to your own discrimination against people due to the color of their skin, sexual oritentation, and biological sex. White people didn't invent discrimination, because there were cultures that existed without white people, and they had discrimination in them, usually due to class or birth rights. 

  • you need to stop reading and believing articles... anyone can make them, they are not gospel, if you believe any article you are easily misled, i will just write you a article too and change your ideology then lol use your own mind, dont let a article propagandist think for you....

  • I really have to tell you to be careful about what you read online. The article states vague things like "white supremacists websites" but not exactly where those websites would be, and most posts don't have people's race being viewed, well unless they want they want you to see it I suppose. And the majority of people would not support the views that women are useless. Please use some critical thinking when reading stuff online. 

  • how?..... are you claiming discrimination didnt exist before 1400?

    do you understand what you call white people, dont have that much long a history.... you have like 10s of thousands of African and Chinese history longer than white history... are you saying discrimination didnt exist until recent times?.... japan didnt even know europe existed and they had their own culture full of discriminationary ideas.... so how does that work? 

    again you just hate white people and you want to blame them as if they are pandoras box itself 

  • Lol! Yeah, I think a lot of people need to back up and realize they are letting their emotions get the best of them in this forum. Where did I hate on white people by pointing out that all forms of discrimination stem from white supremacy? I even showed articles from both in the US and the UK that tie sexism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia to white supremacy and yet somehow me saying all discrimination stems from white supremacy is being racist to white people? That’s funny as heck. JoyJoyJoyJoy

  • There are people who still are racist to this day

    yes... you... but you fail to see your own racism... and your deranged clearly indoctrinated in marxist ideology spewing the same catchphrases and lies as they are precisely taught which i have heard from all of people who have been brainwashed by that ideology. im still holding out hope you can think in the future and realise its all just lies and a widespread racist agenda your brainwashed into

  • People can face discrimination, but not all forms of discrimination are equal. It could be anything from exchanging a few words to outright physical violence. Discrimination as not equal in my mind in this regard. 

    I also understand that you're against discrimination, and yet you're also discriminating against cis white straight males, which is discriminating against this group of people based on their white skin color, straight sexual orientation, and male biological sex, or otherwise seeing white people as white supremacists, which is also discriminatory against them. It seems weird to me that you don't see this as discriminatory. I find it very racist. 

  • I think the word a lot of people are missing is the word stem, which I’m using the term in the means of saying “originate in or be caused by.”

  • I’m not the first person to realize that all forms of discrimination stem from white supremacy, I’m just the first person to bring up the subject on this forum because I want Autistics to be included in the conversation because if sexism/misogyny, homophobia/transphobia all stem from white supremacy then isn’t it possible the discrimination against disabled people also stems from white supremacy?
