White supremacy is rooted in whites, or, more accurately, anyone lighter on the skin color spectrum at the highest levels, strategically aiming to ensure the continuity of their supremacy, as opposed to simply feeling racially superior, which surely people do feel that way as well?
Ali Elashram takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey through the complex and often uncomfortable topic of white supremacy in this episode of the Primordial Provisions Podcast. Addressing the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, and many others, Elashram doesn't shy away from the hard truths.
He dives into the origins and roots of white supremacy, challenging the notion that 'privilege' is a strong enough term to capture the deep-seated advantages held by lighter-skinned individuals. Instead, he argues that dismantling white supremacy requires more than just acknowledging it—it demands active, meaningful actions that go beyond superficial gestures of guilt and insecurity. Elashram emphasizes that true change involves giving up material self-interest for the greater good of immaterial self-interest.
This isn't about being a savior for others; it's about saving ourselves by aligning on common values and interests. He calls for introspection and urges listeners to understand their own immaterial self-interest as a crucial step towards societal change. By focusing on beginnings and isolating variables, Elashram believes groups can come together to work towards dismantling white supremacy. This episode is a call to action for anyone willing to look within and contribute to meaningful change.
