My first argument is, White supremacy indirectly influences social hierarchy. If we revert back to the United State’s presidential history, it is evident as to why white people feel that they are “at the top of the food chain”. “Bonilla-Silva 34” White males make up a vast amount of our government, and as we take this into consideration, we realize that this only fuels a seemingly inextinguishable fire.
One of the primary effects caused by white supremacy is affirmative action. Caucasians have emerged in the business world so rapidly, that it is inevitable that they will “look out for their own” “McGinty”. Affirmative action is an unofficial act initiated by the government to ensure that certain jobs have some type of ethnically diverse working environment. It also provides some type of prevention from a business owner “looking out for his own”. “McGinty”
Another effect white supremacy implements over minorities is terrorism. Perhaps the most notable white supremacist organizations, is the Ku Klux Klan. A group that was established in the 1860s, and even managed to stay strong until the mid 1950s. Their activity is not yet acompletely extinct but has merely been dormant. This group instilled fear in the hearts of many minorities ( mainly blacks) and has advocated extremist reactionary currents such as white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration, historically expressed through terrorism. African-Americans were lynched, shot, tortured, and constantly threatened during this era. And the KKK contributes to a majority of the reason that blacks have animosity toward whites and people of other ethnicity. To describe a more modern consequence
