The Illusion of White Supremacy

The Backward Illusion of White Supremacy (Make-Up Blog)

In essence, a 'white supremacist' is one who believes the white race is the true, superior race that should dominate and control every other race merely due to their narrow-minded thinking and inability to perceive the reality of things.

While it can be seen as being egocentric in a collective manner, the entire white supremacy ideology is backed by pseudoscientific notions and does nothing but attack people of color and others who abide by different methodical structures of views and beliefs.

Relatively speaking, this ideology is a fairly new one. White supremacy was associated with the European's processes and efforts to colonize non-white nations. The term was born in hopes to normalize the acts of controlling and dominating 'inferior' non-whites.

White supremacy has the ability to reconsider experimental reality for the individuals who have deliberately, yet subliminally disguised it and took in its principals and presumptions. White privilege is focal here, in which individuals considered white are likewise judged to be normal human beings. The encounters of white individuals are taken to be all inclusive and a gauge for how others are to be assessed; African-Americans are judged altogether as having "terrible culture" while whites are accepted seen as having "great culture."

George Orwell once said, "In a world full of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Early primates were shrouded in fur, the same as chimpanzees and gorillas today. Hereditary proof shows people lost our hide covering around 1.3 million years prior; most likely as an adjustment to enable us to sweat increasingly and henceforth, remain cool while traveling across the African savannah. Without the fur our skin was presented to the bright radiation in daylight. So a related adjustment was to build the measure of melanin in the skin cells - melanin assimilates the UV radiation and forestalls it harming DNA in the skin cell core, causing disease.

Around 70,000 years ago, Australian Aboriginals and Melanesians moved along the south bank of Asia. Since they remained in areas with high UV radiation, they were capable of retaining the melanin homo sapiens initially had. A second group of homo sapiens migrated toward the elevated continent of Europe between 40,000 and 50,000 years ago, in which weaker sunlight due to geography led to the 'whitening' of the skin in the form of evolution to lessen risks of UV radiation and enabled humans to find a new means of synthesizing Vitamin D.


According to Wikipedia, the black panther is the melanistic color variant of any big cat species. If we replace the black panther with homo sapiens, we can see exactly why white supremacy exists and where it comes into play.

Considering a history of oppression, enslavement, poverty and other socioeconomic factors, it would be logical to assume the collective mindset of the African-American race has been manipulated and somewhat brainwashed to forget their origins and who they truly are. African-American mind has been tricked into falsely distinguishing biological differences, which played a huge role in creating negative connotations throughout these so-called superior and inferior races.
