The Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture
by Kenneth Jones and Tema Okun | (Month Unknown) 2001
From Dismantling Racism: A Workbook for Social Change Groups

They are damaging because they promote white supremacy thinking. They are damaging to both people of color and to white people. Organizations that are people of color-led or a majority people of color can also demonstrate many damaging characteristics of white supremacy culture.
