Of all the political ideas I'm puzzled by-- which is all of them-- the ideas of White Supremacy and White Nationalism are among the most bizarre.
To imagine you're better than others because of your race rather than for your achievements is foolish. For that matter, anyone who feels they are owed something beyond the respect for life, liberty, and property every human is entitled to is mistaken.
To use government and its legislation to force your superiority on others is to admit you're inferior.
I'm in favor of you creating your own nation somewhere, though-- with whatever values you hold dear. If you want to surround yourself with other insecure people to shield yourself from those who would point out your weaknesses, it's your right.
You're still obligated to establish your nation without violating anyone's life, liberty, or property. If anyone already lives where you want to create your nation, you have no right to kick them out. Either buy their property at a consensual price or allow them to stay. You must respect their rights. If this is a deal-breaker, you can find empty land on the Moon and set up your superior nation there.
Why anyone would want to pollute other worlds with politics is beyond me, but this is already a subject of serious discussion by serious people.
Few things are as toxic as politics. It's antisocial to use government to force others to live as you want them to live.
It's always important to know who conspires to use politics against you, and how they plan to do so if they get the chance. Your awareness allows you to stay ready to defend yourself from politics of any sort, extremist or mainstream, race-based or something else.
I'm sure White Supremacists and White Nationalists exist, although I've never met anyone who claims to be one. There are other kinds of nationalists and supremacists out there, too.
Of all the supremacists you might face, the ones most often encountered are the government-supremacists. These extremists believe government interests trump individual rights. Many of them mix in other kinds of supremacism or nationalism too, but as with all extremists, it's the political aspect rather than the petty details which makes them dangerous.
If these extremist groups would keep their politics to themselves, so as to not violate others, I wouldn't care what they believe.

This is one of those things that neo-liberals don't get.
They accuse the other side of things they want to do... but do not realize the other side has no desire to do those things.
Like, accusing conservatives of not following the vote and declaring themselves emperor.
To a conservative, the vote is the name of the game. And the rules of the game are all important. The conservatives follow the rules to a fault.
So, accusing them of something they would be opposed to doing is... well it means they do not know their opponent.
Same thing goes for "white supremacist".
The average "white person" has a long history of hard work being rewarded.
That the cream rises to the top.
They believe that the best win.
Soooo, the idea that there are a huge group of "white supremacist" is just people not understanding the motivation of the average white person.
And it is really telling that the accusers think this.
What are the accusers thinking themselves?
