Like any myth, white supremacy depends on a few basic beliefs, axioms if you will, that are foundational, and create the premises for all that follows. The first, and most fundamental, belief that all white supremacists hold is that race as a matter of science exists. The second, and the more dangerous belief they consider a fundamental truth, is that a pure white race exists, and that this pure white race is under attack by the inferior races, which are actively seeking to eradicate the white race.
