Since the media has suddenly discovered white supremacy, they have done their duty to equate it to hatred of Black people, which is not what white supremacy is.
This inaccuracy is not a small one and is precisely why discussing white supremacy without defining it is dangerous.

White Supremacy does not mean "I hate Black people"
It's way way deeper than that.
It's way way deeper than that.
White Supremacy is an ideology that is built upon the following lies:
1) Race is a legitimate biological categorization
2) Race can be used as a proxy for one's virtues, capacities, personality and worth
3) There naturally exists a white race.

3) There naturally exists a white race.
4) Members of the white race are naturally endowed with virtues and capacities in greater volume than members of other races
5) This natural endowment of greater virtues and capacities bestows on members of the white race a logical mandate to rule over other races.

6) The mandate to rule over other races is not born of malicious intent but is rather a fact of nature.
7) Resistance to these facts of nature is illegitimate and a direct attack on the sovereign birthright of whiteness
8) The sovereignty of whiteness can and must be defended

It cannot be questioned.
To speak to its harms is forbidden.
It must be held blameless. Critique of it is a racist attack on light-skinned humans.
It's violence is contained within "White Supremacists" and all other participants in whiteness are absolved.

White supremacy is not cross burning.
It is not nooses.
It is not swastikas.
It is not a Capitol attack
It is not "rednecks"
It is not the Klan.
It is not violent men with guns.
These are merely the most obvious and socially egregious manifestations of white supremacy.

White supremacy is the presumption that white people DESERVE.
They deserve:
Whatever land they want
The benefit of the doubt
The presumption of talent
The largest voice in politics
The firstfruits of society
Respect
Honor
Celebration
Dignity
Aid
Compassion
At others' expense

To claim that white supremacy is only its violent extremists is like claiming that the whole ocean is just the waves that crash on the beach.
