¤ White Supremacy has its main expression in our social institutions (Government, Police,
Financial services and healthcare etc) that "enable" those with oppressive ideas and positions to impose them upon the lives and fortunes of others with devastating "institutional power."
The primary tool for this expression of oppression is via Cynical Diversity Management techniques that allow bigots to employ discriminatory ideas, opinions and feeling to their various job functions as they represent the organisations they are employed by.
This page seeks to illustrate the underlying attitudes powered by white supremacy positions that underpin the Cynical Diversity Management this site is designed to resist.

Highlights of the US Report to the UN on Racism It is not at all accidental that the jails and the army and the needle claim so many, but there are still too many prancing about for the public comfort.

¤ Papal Bulls:- Colonialism
These passages specifically granted to nations and explorers cause to seek out lands unknown to Christians. In 1493 Pope Alexander VI issued Inter caetera stating one Christian nation did not have the right to establish dominion over lands previously dominated by another Christian nation, thus establishing the Law of Nations . Together, the Dum Diversas , the Romanus Pontifex and the Inter Caetera came to serve as a justification for the Discovery Doctrine and the Age of Imperialism . They were also early influences on the development of the slave trade of the 15th and 16th centuries, even though the papal bull Sublimus Dei of 1537 forbade the enslavement of non-Christians.

When he reached the Americas, Columbus performed a ceremony to "take possession" of all lands "discovered," meaning all territory not occupied by Christians. Upon his return to Europe in 1493, Pope Alexander VI issued the bull Inter Cetera, granting Spain the right to conquer the lands that Columbus had already "discovered" and all lands that it might come upon in the future.
