Albocracy

/ælˈbɒkrəsi/ noun

Definition

A hypothetical or satirical term for rule or governance by white people, constructed as a parallel to other '-cracy' terms.

Etymology

From Latin 'albus' (white) + Greek 'kratos' (power, rule), following the pattern of words like 'democracy' and 'autocracy'.

Kelly Says

This is almost certainly a critical or satirical term coined to highlight racial power structures, rather than a real governmental system—it shows how Greek and Latin word-building lets us critique anything.
