White Supremacy Vs White Supremacist

enflores3000

People need to learn the difference between the two terms.

White supremacy is the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial, ethnic, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical and mental disability groups.

White supremacist is a person who believes that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial, ethnic, gender, gender identity and sexual orientation, physical and mental disability groups.

So one is an ideology the other is the people who enforce it. The difference is how the word ends if it ends with a y, then the ideology is being talked about, if it ends with ist, then the people who enforce the ideology are being talked about. It’s the same terminology difference as with Christianity and Christian, Christianity is the mythology and Christian is the follower of the mythology.

Using the name of an ideology doesn’t not make BIPOC people racist towards white people. So if anyone thinks that, says more about you than the people using the correct terminology.

  • Anyways, messages kind of disappeared for unknown reasons. But enflores, I was not trying to say that you were a r*cist. I just pointed out that if you are against discrimination and against racism, then that should not demean white people. If you think I was calling you something I've never said, that's on you I suppose.

    Because I don't like seeing discrimination towards "cis straight white people"

    Your exact words. I was not discriminating/being racist towards white people. And saying that all discrimination stems from white supremacy, which is an ideology is in no way, shape or form being discriminatory towards white people. Now if I was going around falsely accusing every white person of being a white supremacist, which I wasn’t, then that would warrant being called racist towards white people and discriminatory but accusing me of such for saying all discrimination stems from an ideology is uncalled for.

    But I've never called you a r*cist for anything that you've stated, only that topics like white supremacy and calling people cis straight white males is demeaning to white people. And if you're against discrimination, you'd be more respectful of people regarding sex, gender,  sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and treat everyone equally. Stating that I was bullying you for pointing that out, is not right either.

    And there has been cultures without white people in it, that have had discrimination based on economic class or birth rights. So saying that all discrimination stems from white supremacy is not true. That's not me calling you r*cist, or trying to bully you,  just to make that clear.
