1. Challenging White Supremacy Multiracial Alliance and Antiracist Organizing in the U.S.

6. Oppressors Power and privilege is what the oppressors exercise over the oppressed in a racist system. RACISM Oppressed The oppressed see the power and the privilege that the oppressor has and wants to have the same power and benefits. Traditional Model (Liberal analysis)

7. White Supremacy System *White Supremacist System- A system based on the belief of the inherent superiority of white people (WASP) to all other races. It is a historically based, institutionally perpetuated system of exploitation that grants unearned social privilege to people of white skin in the US for the purpose of maintaining and defending a system of wealth, power, and privilege for the white ruling elite. This system bestows privilege on white people so they will align with the interests of the ruling elite to maintain access to their privileged status. Oppressors (Ruling Elite) The less than 1% wealthy, white, heterosexual, men who make the rules of society

8. White Supremacy System RACISM Racism is a TOOL of white supremacy. Racism is systemic but it is not the larger oppressive system of White Supremacy operating in US.

9. RACISM Oppressed (Non-privileged class) Privileged Class WHITE PRIVILEGE - Privilege is granted to people of white skin by the White Supremacist System. This is done to divide the privileged class from the non-privileged class. White people are not aware of and have difficulty naming and recognizing their privilege. The White Supremacist system oppresses the non-privileged class. The non-privileged class sees the privilege that the privileged class has and wants to have the same benefits and be free from oppression. DEHUMANIZATION Dehumanization is used to place people in their class. Both groups have violence used against them to place and keep them in their class. (Violence- Any act that makes someone, or a group of people, powerless and harms the humanity of that person or group of people.)
