The belief favors the maintenance and defense of any power and privilege held by white people. White supremacy has roots in the now-discredited doctrine of scientific racism and was a key justification for European colonialism. It underlies a spectrum of contemporary movements including neo-Confederates, neo-Nazism and the so-called Christian Identity movement. > > In academic usage, particularly in [[critical race theory]] or [[intersectionality]], "white supremacy" can also refer to a social system in which white people enjoy structural advantages (privilege) over other ethnic groups, on both a collective and individual level, despite formal legal equality. > ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > - [[Abortion and immigration are detrimental to white supremacy]] > - [[Race is a social construct]] > - [[Whiteness was originally a class distinction]] > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[discussionRed Summer of 1919]] > - [[discussionSecond Red Scare Discussion]] > - [[notes - 1920's General Notes]] > - [[10_Sources/Readwise/Articles/articles - Urn|articles - Urn]] > - [[10_Sources/articles - Urn|articles - Urn]] > - [[podcast - NPR One - Can We Talk About Whiteness NPR One]] > - [[topics]] > - [[Reagan]] > - [[46 Politics]] > - [[McCarthyism is an attack on totalitarianism not communism]] > - [[You can't blame people for failing to rise above their circumstances]]
