week 9

Prompt #1: Read Smith’s “Three Pillars of White Supremacy,” and define each of the three pillars (slavery/capitalism, genocide/colonialism, and orientalism/war), plus heteropatriarchy/white supremacy in your own words. For each of the three pillars, plus heteropatriarchy/white supremacy, provide three current examples. What learning was new for you? How does this reading help you make sense of different forms of racism, and how they uphold white supremacy as a whole?
