White supremacy is saying that because they're white, they think you're properly under their control as white people and subject to their supervision--not just in their meeting, where it's expected and proper (because you've entered their space), but "out there" in everything you do because everywhere except possibly your own home is "their space."
Please, let's not redefine words on the fly to suit ourselves. Definitions require a community, and if you get different communities all trying to exert their own supremacy to manipulate and show just how all-powerful they are, all you get is gibberish and intentional self-serving miscommunication.
It's the scourge of the Planck scale '60s pomos writ macro. (I assume you understand that and agree with it.)
