THE UNITED INDEPENDENT COMPENSATORY CODE/SYSTEM/CONCEPTS
Dr.Neely Fuller Jr’s basic premise is this:
“If you do not understand ‘white’ supremacy (as racism)–what it is, and how it works–everything else that you understand, will only confuse you “Dr. Fuller breaks down his idea of there being 3 basic types of people in the known universe, that being white people, non-whites and white supremacists/racists. In his explanation, white people are “people who classify themselves as ‘white’ and have been classified as ‘white’, accepted as ‘white’… and who generally function as ‘white’ in all of the nine major areas of activity.” He defined non-whites as “people who have been classified as ‘non-white’, and/or who generally function as ‘non-white’ in their relationship with each other…” Last, white supremacists/ racists are “people who classify themselves as ‘white’, and who generally function as ‘white’, and who practice racial subjugation (based on ‘white’-‘non-white’, at any time, in any place, in any one, or more of the nine major areas of activity.”
Neely Fuller Jr. (1969) states that “White Supremacy” is a global system of domination against people of color.


The 9 Areas of People Activity are: (1)Economics, (2)Education, (3)Entertainment, (4)Labor, (5)Law, (6)Politics, (7)Religion, (8)Sex and (9)War

BLACK SHOW-OFFISM:
Dr. Fuller further explains that many non’white’ people spend much time/energy/money engaging in “Showing-Off” (to each other).
On page 44 he lists Four Basic “Show-Offisms” By / Among the Victims of White Supremacy/ Racism as being:
1. “Showing-Off” (to each other) the things that ‘white’ people have allowed them to obtain.
2. “Showing-Off” (to each other) the information that ‘white’ people have allowed them to obtain.
3. “Showing-Off” (to each other) their ability to belittle (each other.)
4. “Showing-Off” (to each other) their ability to make sexual impressions on each other.
