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.
Perhaps its best to end this topic. It's been carried over onto several threads and is only creating chaos and hurt feelings. Im all for debates but this is going nowhere.
These race related topics are unhelpful towards autism anyways, and hopefully we can all just respect each other.

Actually that is incorrect, if every minority group worked together and stopped this whole not all discrimination is equal bs, it help all of us, keeping it all separated like we do and acting like they are all not equal is actually what is unhelpful.
Does behaving like you do prevent discrimination, or futher enhance it? I don't think race matters, since we all collectively have autism, regardless of our race. If we are just a bunch of minds on this forum, and we are just discussing autism, when does skin color come into it? I think it's about treating other people with respect, or treating people disrespectfully. Those actions get attributed to race or gender, or whatever else, and that's when everything can turn down hill.
