The Mirror We Must Face: White Supremacy's Hidden Reflection
White supremacy isn't just about extremist groups or overt racism-it's the water we all swim in. This ideology constructs whiteness as superior and grants unearned privileges to those who possess it, persisting despite legal advances because deeply held beliefs operate at unconscious levels. Though race is scientifically proven to be a social construct (with only about .01% of genes reflected in external appearance), these constructs create very real consequences. The work begins with recognition, not self-flagellation. White privilege doesn't mean your life hasn't been difficult-it means your skin color hasn't been one of those difficulties. As Peggy McIntosh described, it functions as "an invisible package of unearned assets" that includes everything from media representation to not having to educate your children about racism for their physical safety. Understanding white supremacy as a system rather than individual acts of meanness allows us to move beyond defensiveness toward meaningful action.
