Is the U.S. Still a White Supremacist Country?

It is hard to deny that the U.S. was a white supremacist nation when the enslavement of black people was legal. But what about now? Is the U.S. still a white supremacist country? What evidence do you have to support your point of view?

Remember the definition of “white supremacy:”

The belief that white people are superior to (better than) black people and other people of color.

A system in which white people have social and political dominance over black people and other people of color.

I think that the U.S is still pretty much a white supremacist nation. White people, I think, don’t impose themselves on other races but the fact is that there is many more white people than blacks and other races. This table shows it. White people far outnumber every other category of race.

The only reason we have social and political dominance is because of sheer numbers. The population ratio just moves up into the government. People I think are also more comfortable with their own race because they can identify on that level with somebody like how students sit in race groups during lunch. There is some intermingling but not much. There are also perceived stereotypes about races of all colors but I think a predominant one is that all men but predominantly black and latino men are dangerous depending on the way they dress or time of day. White people’s opinions have also built up barriers against other races so they trust white folk much more in just about everything like workplaces, giving white people social dominance. I don’t think that white supremacy has gone away at all. It’s still alive and very much kicking in the U.S. You always hear first latino woman to enter office or first black president and doesn’t that tell you how long we’ve had a step up on other races? But nowadays it’s all about minorities. While we may still have white supremacy in some aspects the minorities have the attention. White people are the subject of forced guilt and reverse racism. People playing the race card “It’s because I’m black isn’t it?” and no, most of the time it’s not. We get racism shoved down our throats because sometimes if we don’t care then we are guilty of a crime against humanity and are made to care. Otherwise we are “racist” and no one wants to be called a racist. So while white supremacy might rule, minorities have us whipped and wrapped around their pinkie fingers pretty good and we may never placate them. I use my own experience and observations to back up my claims. They are my own opinions and I get freedom of thought right?
