This white paper investigates the deep structural and psychological relationship between white supremacy and aggrieved entitlement. Far from being isolated phenomena, the two are mutually reinforcing: aggrieved entitlement — rooted in perceived loss of status, identity, or cultural dominance — serves as emotional fuel for supremacist ideologies that justify exclusion, violence, and anti-democratic behavior. Through historical analysis, psychological frameworks, political critique, and case studies, this paper demonstrates how the fusion of racial grievance and identity politics has contributed to the rise of far-right movements, the erosion of democratic norms, and the fragmentation of civic cohesion. The paper concludes with a call for regenerative healing grounded in recognition, equity, and cultural reweaving. It offers a path forward for transforming wounded identities into relational integrity and shared belonging.
