Herrenvolk democracy
Herrenvolk democracy is a governmental system in which the majority ethnic group has a say in the government, and has the right to partake in voting, while the minority races are disenfranchised. This elitist form of government is typically employed by the majority race as a way to maintain control and power within the system, and typically coincides with the false pretense of egalitarianism. There is a prevailing view that as people of the majority race gain freedom, liberty, and egalitarian principles are advanced, the minority race is repressed and prevented from being involved in the government. This principle can be seen in the development of both the American South and South Africa in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In these historical scenarios, as legislation moved toward universal male suffrage for whites, it also further entrenched the prevention of black people from participation in government and upheld their disenfranchisement. The term was first used in 1967 by Pierre van Den Berghe in his book ''Race and Racism''. Ilan Pappé has used the term to describe the current government of Israel.
Concepts similar to Herrenvolk democracy are ethnic democracy and ethnocracy.
==Herrenvolk republicanism==
In his book ''The Wages of Whiteness'', historian David R. Roediger reinterprets this form of government in the context of 19th-century America, arguing that the term "''herrenvolk'' republicanism" more accurately describes racial politics at this time. The basis of herrenvolk republicanism went beyond the marginalization of blacks in favor of a republican government serving the "master race"; it contended that "blackness" was synonymous with dependency and servility, and was therefore antithetical to republican independence and white freedom. Consequently, the dependent white worker at this time used his whiteness as a way to differentiate himself from and elevate himself over the dependent black worker or slave. According to this ideology, blacks were not merely "non-citizens"; they were "anti-citizens" who inherently opposed the ideals of a republican government.
