White supremacists in Charlottesville in 2017

White supremacy is a racist ideology that believes that whites are biologically, culturally, or politically superior to other people.[1] It is closely connected to capitalism and patriarchy. White supremacy began in the 15th century at the start of European colonial expansion, the enslavement of Africans, and the settler occupation of indigenous Americans. Western race pseudoscience in the early 19th century promoted the idea that white people were superior to justify imperialism and colonialism.[2]

White supremacy is not just individual attitudes, and it is possible for non-white people to be ideological white supremacists. Global structures that reinforce white supremacy include the IMF, NATO, World Bank, WTO, and mainstream media.[1]
