It is 'supremacy' in many ways. Gay or Lesbian? Good luck! Transgender? Forget about it! Jewish, Muslim, Hindu? You are expecting help?! Female? Sure, sweetheart, we'll help. **wink**

The "white" version is just more visible. What is really fucking sad? It is VISIBLE and there are those who simply shrug their shoulders and make excuses.

Institutional bigotry; it's a real thing!

It should be called out for what it is. No more word games.

There are various forms of supremacy, all of which the police and other institutions enact on the populace.

for a long time in a slow infiltration over generations. Nothing new to me.....especially given that the South's KKK always had police in their ranks. Now it's North, East, West.
