Examples of supremacy in a Sentence

  1. Kenya Goodson:

    I was really very hurt, you know, and angry really by the decision by our Supreme Courts, there are people that are making decisions, not because it's the law, but they're making decisions to uphold White supremacy by diluting my vote.

But the key thing to understand is that the unpaid labor of millions -- and the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow laws, discrimination in mortgage lending and a race-based system of mass incarceration -- created uncompensated wealth for individuals and white society as a whole. Immigrants with European heritage directly and indirectly benefited from this system of white supremacy. The past is very much in the present.
