White supremacy is a value-ordering system, not just overt racist ideology

Evidence

On a broader level, white supremacy involves the way a society organizes itself, and what and whom it chooses to value. Apartheid in South Africa, the Jim Crow South, and Nazi Germany are clear examples of societies organized by white supremacy. In each case, the belief that white people are valued more than nonwhite people shaped every aspect of social and political life. It determined where you lived, which schools you attended, and what jobs were available to you. It reminded you daily of your status and station in life. And that’s white supremacy without all the bluster: a set of practices informed by the fundamental belief that white people are valued more than others. — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black, 77
