7. White Supremacy System *White Supremacist System- A system based on the belief of the inherent superiority of white people (WASP) to all other races. It is a historically based, institutionally perpetuated system of exploitation that grants unearned social privilege to people of white skin in the US for the purpose of maintaining and defending a system of wealth, power, and privilege for the white ruling elite. This system bestows privilege on white people so they will align with the interests of the ruling elite to maintain access to their privileged status. Oppressors (Ruling Elite) The less than 1% wealthy, white, heterosexual, men who make the rules of society

This is done to divide the privileged class from the non-privileged class. White people are not aware of and have difficulty naming and recognizing their privilege. The White Supremacist system oppresses the non-privileged class. The non-privileged class sees the privilege that the privileged class has and wants to have the same benefits and be free from oppression. DEHUMANIZATION Dehumanization is used to place people in their class. Both groups have violence used against them to place and keep them in their class. (Violence- Any act that makes someone, or a group of people, powerless and harms the humanity of that person or group of people.)
