Does better means always good?

There is an ideology with a phrase “white supremacy”. Supremacy means the state or
condition of being superior to all others in authority, power, or status in short being better from the
rest and the “White” on the phrase symbolizes the skin color of some people. If we analyze the phrase
clearly it gives of an oppression vibe because the ideology itself claims that if you are one of the white
people you are above the rest which is the black people. When you are white you have the power,
authority and high status, the word supremacy comes with the word hierarchy that gives people a
false sense of self that they are better or superior than others resulting in countless discrimination
and oppression to those people below the hierarchy. This issue is been continuing up until the 21st
century, there are many evidences of “white supremacy”. Just from hearing people categorizing from
“black people” and “white people” is already an evidence. Recent news of police abuse to black
people without questioning and knowing the whole story and other scenarios of racial discrimination.
Seeing how the world deal with this idealogy makes it hard to believe that it still possible to live in a
world where all man are equal regardless of color, race or ethnicity. But as time goes by the number
of people that believes in equality and against discrimination continues to grow. Advocates of
equality and anti disrimination movement will be the key to open the possibility of living in world
where all man are equal. Being better does not always mean superiority, when you are better from
other people you should not look down on them as we have different life to live on but use this as a
chance to help other people.
