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)

  • White supremacy is when white people think they are superior to other people and have a natural right to dominate society.

    I dont know much about UK history but I know in the US there are many cases of white people being treated more fairly. Other races being considered ‘less human’, more likely to get discriminated against or killed, harder time getting work, unable to vote, imperialism seems to have been majorly white lead, etc. While certain things were created to help, non-white people still have disadvantages and the facts are there regardless if you as a person view yourself as superior or not.

    I dont completely agree with everything thats being done to ‘undo’ the past, for example 90% of any ‘villain’ I learn about in history class were all white (unsure if thats because more white people have been bad or if its cause if they mention someone of a different race theyll get in trouble), and in movies they are making live action remakes of movies and changing the white characters to be Black or asian, etc, and while I think thats okay, I also know if they changed a Black character into a white character then people would get upset. Frozen was criticized for having all white characters (despite it being inspired by1800s Norway - which males sense for them to have fair skin) yet movies like Mulan who have one race depicted are not criticized because it makes sense for chinese to live in china. Some kind of reverse-rasism attempt which is essentially still racism. Even with these few ‘not great things’ twords whites, just based on history and current events it is quite obvious that there is a ‘white supremacy’

    Im sure its even more so than what I know but being white myself I cant say what struggles there are

  • if there was a white supremacy... then white people would be supreme wouldnt they?

    tell me what would a supreme people look like?

    they would have full control of their homelands wouldnt they?  and wouldnt be at risk of extinction or replacement, they wouldnt allow anyone else in their homeland at all wouldnt they? but theyd be a large demographic in other peoples countries?

    tell me does that suit white people?

    no.... quite clearly not... it suits africa, as everyone in africa is african... no one else is allowed there in any way but as a guest, same as in india... and i was looking into buying property in india but wasnt allowed as they have a no foreigners law... but yet they can buy property in the uk and do seeing as 90% of london properties are owned by india... again this this sound like white supremacy or does this sound more like indians are supreme?

    also should i hate indians for being supreme? or should i just accept thats a normal power dynamic of a changing world history and that it may change again as china is looking to be the next pax world peace global power and they dont tolerate none chinese in their country and will likely start pushing chinese into others and expanding themselves and their population in others, just as india is doing.... but white people? they are giving up their spaces, refusing to reproduce and generally ethnic cleansing themselves... how is that supreme? 

  • if there was a white supremacy... then white people would be supreme wouldnt they?

    Do people on this forum not realize that white supremacy is an ideology? Ever heard of the KKK? They are the most known group in the United States that tries to push that ideology and make it a reality.

  • it seems like a delusional ideology then because how can any white person feel supreme when they dont even have a homeland anymore? when they are being persecuted and discriminated against more than any other race and yet they have no protection from that as the people who hate them have the institutional powers to make it so they are ignored and make it so the definition changes to claim its ok to be racist against them lol

    but i dunno what i gather is you likely believe in white supremacy.. more than any white person does... and your belief in it makes you hate white people... no white person believe in white supremacy. if they do id advise them be checked for some condition that includes delusions 

  • Does that mean all white people support the KKK and white supremacists? No. You have mixed raced couples and mixed raced children.
