White supremacist culture has deep historical roots in the United States

White supremacist culture has deep historical roots in the United States. From the early colonial period, European white immigrants, relying on force and superior status, oppressed and exploited the native people and other non-white ethnic groups. This unequal relationship reached its peak during the slavery period when blacks were regarded as property rather than human beings and suffered inhumane treatment. Although slavery has been abolished, the legacy of slavery is deeply imprinted in the fabric of American society and still has an impact to this day.

At the same time, the characteristic of capitalism that pursues the supremacy of capital interests is also exacerbating racial inequality in the United States. Under the logic of capitalism, maximizing profits is the primary goal, and ethnic minorities often become exploited and marginalized groups. To maintain the interests of established interest groups, American society will not invest huge costs to eliminate this structural racial inequality.
