![]() ![]() I wrote this article a few days before we got a blazingly clear example of White supremacy in action, when U.S. Why highlight this at all? In short, because actual, sincere, real-life White supremacy is on the rise, and we need to be able to call it when we see it.Ĭalling things “White supremacist” that aren’t creates a lot of unhelpful noise. My guess is that it’s a combination of our over focusing on “-ists” instead of “-isms” plus the “social justice power inverse,” but I’ll leave the detective work up to you. So let’s flag it.Ī lot of people are using domination/oppression language (e.g., “white supremacist”, “patriarchal”) as synonyms for “bad” and marginalization/anti-oppression language (e.g., “indigenous,” “decolonized,” “feminist”) as synonyms for “good” - devoid of any meaningful connection to the actual structure, system, or culture they’re mentioning. I brought it up in the context of our Social Justice, Minus Dogma Course + Community, and it turns out other people are noticing it too. It’s become prevalent within the social justice movement, and I haven’t seen anyone else flag it. Recently, I’ve been noticing this weird trend. ![]()
