Full disclosure: we have no idea where this slide was presented or for what reason, but apparently the PowerPoint genius behind it “nailed it,” so it would be wrong not to share it. You might have thought you knew the characteristics of white supremacy, but we’ll bet you missed one or two.

Perfectionism, a sense of urgency, objectivity … all characteristics of white supremacy. As far as fear of open conflict and “only one right way” go, we’ll refer to the poster’s other tweet today …

Well at least post a slide of the characteristics of patriarchal thinking so we know if we’re being sexist.
I… none of this makes sense. NONE of this is connected to anything having to do with supremacy of any kind. Some of these relate to logic, which has no skin tone.

Logic is not a factor with the way these people think

I seriously hope this is satire.

I like how the "characteristics" have nothing relating to the actual meaning pic.twitter.com/OBTxHDKxgh

Look at this guy and his perfectionism, defensiveness, and worship of the written word. Definitely a white supremacist.

That's either/or thinking

If this was taken at an American university, hell, it could be an algebra class.
They just make shit up as they go along now. ?

Is this satire? I think perfectionism can be good, like for civil engineers, surgeons, and air-traffic controllers, to name a few.

Individualism…???
Well that sort of lets the cat out of the bag, doesnt it
— TheGoat ?? (@OAmericanus) May 1, 2019
This us utterly absurd and could just as easily describe any special interest group or religion on the planet today regardless of demographics.
Why not expend the definition even further and include allergies to shellfish, it would make as much sense.

Not being a wise guy or attempting a juvenile “I know you are but what am I” comment but this slide truly seems to apply perfectly to every current left-wing political candidate, especially “paternalism”.

Good luck building a western society without 10 or more of those qualities. SAD

It's about tearing down Western society 🙁

"Individualism"

Individualism is my favorite

Absolutely. Individualism and objectivity is a terrible combination.

I think the most infuriating part of this is that this means people of color can’t or shouldn’t want/have these things.

Given the high likelihood that those of us who heretofore escaped indoctrination will be subjected to required reeducation at work, I'm just wondering what will happen if I exhibit unwelcome judgmental behavior? I could not possibly sit in the pictured room without a reaction.

I would get up and walk out.

Oh you’ve got to be kidding me. You can’t be serious with this as something you nailed.
I would have laughed when this was presented.

Quite complex people, those white supremacists.

Not a single thing listed here is valid. Not one. You have to work to be that bad.

It's very complicated. Just assume white people=bad. You'll nail the final.

I must say, I always thought white supremacy was some kind of vile, menacing phenomenon. This makes it seem fairly innocuous, even good in some ways.
— Chris Haugen (@chrisghaugen) May 1, 2019
This is dangerous and stupid.
— OhHeyJordan (@ohhijordan) April 30, 2019
where does this come from? This is so bad
— Jro (@jrostler) April 30, 2019
Someone was kind enough to link to the study from which all of these are pulled, with explanations that still don’t exhibit any correlation to white supremacy. Apparently, these are just the “white” way of doing things, and if you want your organization/company/healing circle to be truly multicultural, you need to open up to non-white ways of thinking and doing. If you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole, click here.
People actually pay for this crap?
