So what does “White supremacy” actually mean? According to Merriam-Webster, White supremacy is “a doctrine based on a belief that the White race is inherently superior to other races and that White people should have control over people of other races.” I do believe “White supremacy” is an especially appropriate term to use when I engage evangelical and mainline Protestants along issues of race and biblical interpretation, because those who identify as White are the arbiters of power when it comes to biblical interpretation.
