White Culture

  1. White culture perpetuates the ideology that white people are morally and intellectually superior to people of color;
  2. White culture stereotypes figures and behavior of white people;
  3. By defining reality as white, and convincing white people that it is their reality, the culture of white supremacy is portrayed as universal, applying to all humankind;
  4. White culture provides a normative standard of behavior for one living in a system of white privilege;
  5. White culture creates white bonding, that is, the cross class allegiance and sense of commonality that non--ruling class oppressed white men and women have with the white ruling class, on the basis of "white skin" and European ancestry;
  6. The culture of white nationalism provides an identity, purpose, orientation and sense of belonging for people who immigrate to White countries;
  7. White culture appropriates elements of European ethnic cultures in order to increase the ethnic grouping's sense of assimilation;
  8. The culture of white nationalism has transformed pride and love of country (patriotism) into a glorification of the military conquest of nations of color;
  9. Under the guise of the imperial, white nationalism assumes that White countries can interfere in every nation of color in the world, and that somehow that intervention will be beneficial to the residents of that nation;
  10. White culture is based on lies;
  11. White culture is based on denial of responsibility.
