"â€¦â€œwhite supremacyâ€ is a much more useful term for understanding the complicity of people of color in upholding and maintaining racial hierarchies that do not involve force (i.e slavery, apartheid) than the term â€œinternalized racismâ€- a term most often used to suggest that black people have absorbed negative feelings and attitudes about blackness. The term â€œwhite supremacyâ€ enables us to recognize not only that black people are socialized to embody the values and attitudes of white supremacy, but we can exercise â€œwhite supremacist controlâ€ over other black people."
