*White Supremacy: For our purposes, we are not alluding to the overt racism of white supremacist hate groups. We refer instead to the economic, cultural, and political systems in which whites overwhelmingly control power and material resources. Embedded in these systems are conscious and unconscious ideas of white entitlement and privilege—systems in which whites receive the benefit of the doubt and built-in advantage.
