White supremacism is an ideology that promotes the belief that white people are superior to those of other racial backgrounds. This belief often leads to discrimination, prejudice, and violence against individuals and groups who are not white. White supremacists may advocate for policies that maintain or enhance the social, political, and economic dominance of white people. Historically, white supremacism has been associated with various hate groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi organizations. These groups often use symbols, propaganda, and rallies to spread their beliefs and recruit new members. The ideology has been linked to numerous acts of violence and terrorism, impacting communities and societies worldwide.
