The logic of the page containing the graphic is this:
1. "Whiteness and white racialized identity refer to the way that white people, their customs, culture, and beliefs operate as the standard..."
2. "Whiteness (and its accepted normality)... communicate hostile, derogatory, or harmful messages." [ed. because whiteness causes microagressions.]
3. "Racism is perpetuated by deeming whiteness as superior and other racial and ethnic groups as inferior."
4. "White supremacy is an ideology where white people are believed to be superior to nonwhite people."
5. "[I]nternalized racism, [] happens when an oppressed group believes the racial views that society communicates are true, and they act as if they were true."
So, if the graphic isn't clearly critical, the page is. If you hold the "white" ideas in the graphic as "superior," that is to hold "whiteness" superior. Holding whiteness superior is the definition of "white supremacy." If you hold these "whiteness" views as a minority, it is because you have internalized racism -- the "whiteness" has colonized your mind.
Families. Science. Christianity. Hard Work. Democracy. If you think any of these are superior, it's "white supremacy." If it's not properly nuanced, this is how it's being churned out for the masses.
