I am trying to understand my "white supremacy"

[ananda]

25. The very words "white supremacist" are supercharged ...

... and it's really hard to think rationally about what makes a person
a white supremacist and what that even means.

Me -- I wouldn't identify myself as a "white supremacist" because in
my mind those words are attached to Nazism, skinheads, the confederate
flag, and guntoting assholes from militia groups.

However, I would say that I probably have a strong sense of "white
privilege or entitlement." Every so often, I do a bit of soul searching
in this regard; but more often I tend to project it on the white teens
and young adults who I think have it in spades.

Also, sometimes I think I need to expand that sense of "white
supremacy" to the idea of corporatism and wealth; but that comes
with a bit of stretch, allowing the term to include non-whites who
embrace the culture of supremacy and otherness in the same way
that those who actually identify as white supremacists do.

In any case, this is not something that is comfortable to look at on
any level, in any sense.

But it is necessary to do so if we are to move forward.
