Day 9 Supremacy Culture
Supremacy Culture is the overarching term we use to refer to the intersecting political ideology and systemic oppression that perpetuates and maintains the social, political, historical and industrial white domination, ableism, heterosexism, patriarchy, capitalism, class and gender oppression. Supremacy Culture works to maintain dominant distributions of power and resources which result in the inequitable status quo of racism and injustice. This term was created by Claudia Alick.
