That's not debatable; that's an obvious fact.
And if you support the status quo and oppose redressing that divide, you're supporting the continued subjugation of black Americans and the privilege of white Americans in return. That makes you a white supremacist. That's all it takes. I don't give a single shit if anyone feels that's unfair or that they have good reasons for opposing that redress; those feelings are expressions of white supremacy. The loss of privilege feels "unfair". But it isn't. The system is currently unfair, and that's what you're supporting; that continued unfairness.
That means you're a white supremacist. Literally what the word means. Doesn't matter if you're polite enough about it to never use a racial slur. Doesn't matter if you "have black friends". I don't care what your excuses are, I care about the views you espouse and what they actually are, in context.
The idea that white supremacy is nearly extinct in the USA is, frankly, a lie. It's just not as overtly ugly as it once was. It's still threaded throughout American culture and society at a very fundamental level.
