97: Flowers for Fuller

Royalism and the Phenotype of White Supremacy

Neely Fuller Jr. describes white supremacy as a "royalist system" based on phenotype rather than just bloodline. He argues that the system designates white individuals as "born better" and non-white individuals as eligible for domination. The hosts discuss the inherent confusion in the "color system," where individuals are categorized as black or brown regardless of their actual skin tone or ancestry.

White Privilege as a Soft Alternative to Supremacy

Neely Fuller Jr. analyzes the linguistic shift from "white supremacy" to "white privilege," arguing that "privilege" is a softer term that implies a gift granted by a higher power. By accepting the label of privilege, individuals can absolve themselves of responsibility for the underlying supreme system. The hosts discuss how this "private law" allows the system to grant or rescind status based on an individual's adherence to approved ideologies.
