There is not; the claim of the rise and the reality are two different things.

Many mistake nationalism with White Supremacy. The two have nothing to do with each other, although White Supremacist can be very nationalistic.

The number of radical white supremacists numbers less than 10,000, you may have another 20 -25,000 that hang on the outskirts, but this is a tiny number if you compare this to, say, Antifa or radical actors within BLM.

Personally find all three reprehensible, but idiots are idiots; nothing you can do. You can educate, but for the most part, facts matter not to these people; they are too caught up in their emotions.

Because the root causes of White Supremacy is based on two major concepts

1. Their inferiority complex.
2. Their unchecked fears

• Fear of sexual inferiority
• Fear of inferiority in mental fortitude
• Fear of inferiority when it comes to physical prowess
• Fear of intellectual inferiority
• Fear that they are less cool, less funny and less desirable
• Fear that they can't succeed as easily as before because of all these laws that take away their built in advantages that were simply based on color.
• White replacement theory 👀
• Finally.. Fear of retaliation

Well…fear leads to hate.

And hate(mixed with self righteousness, leads to White Supremacy and violence)

This is a tough question and having not lived in every country, it is hard to say why the USA is different in this regard. I have lived in several parts of the US and in Mexico and this leads me to believe certain things:

1. It is easy to not be racist or have racist tendencies when you live in a homogeneous area.
2. It is easier to become racist or have racist tendencies when you live in a racially diverse and divided area that is undergoing bouts of violent friction.

Having lived as a white minority in South Chicago, and as a white majority in Alabama I got to experience two sides of a very nasty coin. This "nasty coin" is the sad fact that racism exists and causes harm from both or all sides. Whenever people are treated as lesser members of society or even worse, when they are beaten and abused simply because of the color of their skin, it is a travesty.

Later in life, living in liberal areas in Arizona, where folks talk a lot about racism, but do not have to live with it on a daily basis because of a lack of diversity. Many folks there believe a black man cannot be a racist, but they have never been beaten or attacked simply because of pale skin. I know firsthand, racism can come from or be directed toward just about any race. It should never happen, but it does happen when one group outnumbers another and grievances and prejudices get mixed.

In Alabama I felt closer to my fellow black students and they quickly became my best friends. I saw them being treated the same way I had been treated when I was in Chicago and in the extreme minority. I knew it wasn't right and I was willing to stand with them. Odd how life lessons can get beat into you at such a young age.

Listening to folks talk about racism, especially white folk, that have never experienced life as a minority is like trying to learn about coral reefs in the desert. There is no firsthand experience and it is all too easy to become overly judgmental when looking down from such a high horse. We are all on this ride of life together, sharing this time. We need to learn to live, laugh and love one other as individuals. Disregarding preconceived notions of people based on their appearances. Do this often, but do so carefully, with eyes wide open. Practicing this will help you see and attract the best in others, but it will not always keep you safe.

I hope this personal experience regarding racism makes sense.

It’s always been there.

They just hide it beneath the surface.

Take for instance Quora User he was very good at hiding what he felt, until he slipped up. He said that African nations MUST follow western nations on LGTBQ else they will be left behind. Quora User doesn’t like me very much for spotting this and blocked me.

He’s essentially saying this

That all non whites must be led by the master race!

There are many many people like Richard Lock.

John Cate for instance, he didn’t like being corrected by an insect! So he blocked me.

Most of the western world are closet white supremacists. We see how the majority cheered for the genocide in Iraq, Afghanistan and loved Abu Ghraib and how they cheer for the killing in Gaza.

There has not been a rise in any white supremacy movement in America that I’m aware of and I’m white and live in the South. I think the media would like you to think that there is and somehow tie that to Trump and his followers to politically damage him. But I’d say that the few idiots who believe in white supremacy are a dying breed of low intelligence and thank goodness. I certainly don’t know any and I think that anyone who is would be shunned socially in this day and age.

To be a conservative in the USA is to believe in the party of Lincoln and that all men are created equal and deserve equal opportunity. And that is how it has always been.

It’s a symptom of Progressivism.

Oikophobia - Wikipedia

Essentially, and in this context, once a nation begins to run out of serious problems, the ‘elite’ find themselves in a difficult situation. Oikosphobia is a solution that allows the elites, those who consider themselves to be morally and intellectually superior, to differentiate themselves from the commoners (aka the ‘deplorables’). It requires a rejection of all that is considered one’s own culture or race in favor of the Other, or even an inimical culture. You can see this by the anti-Americanism, such as the modern penchant for the revisionist history, to show the US in the worst possible perspective, which is very lively on university campuses, long bastions for those who consider themselves to be elite.

Furthermore, it is in some respects a Leftist reaction to the Right wing: “my country, right or wrong”. The Left has adopted the equally inane and distasteful, “any other country, right or wrong.” A racial analogue is an implied, but never spoken, equivalent.

Exampe: An analysis of Chomsky’s position clearly shows a strong tendency to support any despotic, disfunctional regime so long as it exhibits sufficient animosity towards the US. This easily ports to the racial identity of the majority of Americans.

I cannot get past the term “white supremacist,” as the definition keeps changing to fit different circumstances. What I conclude mostly is that some try really hard to make that term stick.

This is what I get from the online dictionary: “a person who believes that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups, in particular black or Jewish people.”

As per the common definition, the whole idea is that America is a white supremacist country is deeply offensive. That is true even with a history of slavery, which never was an exclusively white thing. Indeed, there is slavery in Africa today (way more slaves than were ever brought to North America), so what does that make them? There is willful ignorance involved in virtually every white supremacist allegation.

Thus, from my perspective, this prevalent white supremacist claim is an obvious attempt to undermine the normal political order. Seeing racism behind every bush and calling it “white supremacy” is mostly lunacy and it disrupts normal activities in all walks of life.

Of course, racial relations need constant monitoring in modern, multicultural societies. Yes, there are problems and abuses. We need appropriate laws and they need to be enforced. This is an ongoing project. However, to continue to tolerate this term appearing constantly is becoming a problem.

There're racist people EVERYWHERE.

But US is somewhat unique because:

US is more racially diverse. US is a immigration country with a long and painful history of slavery of black people. As a result, US is not a racial homogenizing nation like many European and Asian countries. Take China for example, while we indeed have 56 ethnic groups, most of the "minorities" look, act, behave very similar to the majority Han Chinese. I'm a Manchu, but unless I self-identify as a Manchu, no one will be able to tell. I look like Han Chinese, I speak the same language as Han Chinese, I eat the same food, have the same history, share the same culture. We discriminate against those who are different from ourselves. Less different people are from each other racially, less racism you see in a society. (And you end up seeing a lot of other kind of discrimination and prejudice. Again, take China for example, xenophobia is really bad, as well as class discrimination).

US is more racially aware. US has a long history of racial conflict, starting from abolishing slavery to civil rights movement, to the current Black Lives Matter, there hasn't been a time period when racial conflict was not at the forefront of social issues. As a result, what might be considered OK in other country, are criticized and people are more aware of what they do and/or say when it comes to race. And because of the criticism is more vocal, you get the impression that racial issues are worse in the US. But from my personal feelings, comparing US with China, US is a lot better at identifying and criticizing racial discrimination.

For example, during the aftermath of 2014 Kunming attack, many Muslim people were asked by their landlord, sometimes by the local police to vacate their apartments or close their shops. Many street vendors were driven out of the community. Chinese Muslims are mostly from minority ethnic groups as well (Hui People, Uyghur people). While there are anti-Islamic protests in the US, a landlord can not ask a tenant to move out of the apartment simply because their race or religious beliefs. It is against the law. But there's no such law in China to protect these people, or if there is, no one is enforcing them.

While I've been very vocal about American's racism, I'm also grateful that at least this nation acknowledge and willing to face this problem, and look for solutions. It's a lot better than turn your face away from minorities and pretend it doesn't exist.

Watching the Tyson Fury versus Deontay Wilder fight was quite an experience, last night! Two huge men, experts at their craft, great fighters… slugging it out for many rounds, getting knocked over, getting back up again. A modern day round of gladiatorial combat sans swords.

When the match was done, Wilder knocked out by Fury, most people just… appreciated the show. The spirit, the heart these men had shown. End of story! But I noticed some black commenters online getting WAY too pissed off that “a white man” had beaten “their guy”. Likewise I noticed a few white guys getting way too thrilled “their guy” had beaten “that black dude”.

If you reduce an athlete, a talented athlete, to nothing more than their skin tone, and you feel proud simply because of something they accomplished, or ashamed because something they failed to accomplished… well, that’s pretty damn racist, in my opinion. Belittles the athletes, and belittles the sport.

Just because a great big white dude who’s trained for decades to be at the top of his game succeeds in his sport, does not make you, a mediocre spectator, any better, or any worthier. And that goes of course for all races and creeds — you’re just the dude watching. You’re nothing. Just enjoy the show and don’t get any ideas.

I relate this phenomenon to two factors: a decline in critical thinking skills and media manipulation. I will flesh out these two issues a bit.

Critical thinking has many elements, but I think asking questions, seeking answers, and considering other points of view are the most important. Mind you, I am not saying that there are no white failings of that we should not strive to be better people. However, I do think we are constantly buffeted with complaints, accusations, and characterizations that deserve some scrutiny.

As an example, let’s go back to Don Lemon stating more than once that white men are the greatest terror threat in the country today. There is much that can be said about this. For a start, whites are the largest “racial” group in the country. All things being equal, well we ought to commit more acts of terror. However, even that is not true. Actually the white murder rate compares with Northern Europe. There was a kernel of truth to what Lemon said, based on an ADL study, but the blunt retelling was pure showmanship. The response was tepid, though, and I encountered many white people who happily repeated this odd claim.

We might ask why it is that smart capable people do not question or examine claims made about people somewhat like them. This is where I think the media plays a role. They define reality to a certain extent. They set the boundaries for public debate.

Based on the Lemon comment, anyone questioning this confidently asserted fact would face some sort of a backlash…or at least fervent disbelief. Most of us do not have a captive audience. So, this complex issue is very hard to engage in a meaningful way. Society moves on, but this claim remains unchallenged. Over time, many unchallenged claims accumulate. Some are deliberate misrepresentations, some are oversights, some are not fully explained, etc.

Perhaps the most damning thing the media does is that news reports are now modeled after Facebook. Our world is a series of events that lack context. We almost never see the big picture.

There is a commercial now where a young lady is at an aquarium talking on the phone about vacations. She sees a shark and abruptly abandons her plans to go to a beach. This is exactly how we think today. Suddenly, someone standing on dry land now has to face her greatest fear of being eaten by a shark. Crazy!

We take this back to Don Lemon and consider the context. There have been some crazy white crimes, and this is emphasized. The population differences are not clear to people. Nobody asks any questions. You can see the result. The so-called harsh truth is hard to bear.

What could we do? We need to stop doing crazy stuff, of course. But we also need to be active participants in the shaping of public perceptions. This is happening, but more on the fringe. We all have a role in observing what is going down.

Question: Why are there so many racist people in the US?

Why?

1. A history of chattel slavery which has never been addressed effectively - Had chattel slavery ended sooner and been dealt with effectively when it did, we would have fewer racial issues than we do.
2. A genocidal history with regard to the Native population here - The White settlers who moved to Midwest and the West fought a series of skirmishes and battles with the Native population, while also engaging in actions which clearly fight the definitions of “ethnic cleansings” and “pogroms”. Very few of these matters have been addressed by the current social or political leaders and so we are dealing with the legacies of that now.
3. There was legalized White supremacy for nearly 100 years - This was a lengthy and detailed, but suffice it to say that unless you were a non-Hispanic White you were forced to pay taxes and obey laws in a society where you were marginalized. This is still ongoing in many areas, although it’s no longer codified as it was in the past. This also has not been addressed by the political and social leaders of this nation.
4. Violence against minorities was tolerated until very recently by the legal system and is still not punished in the same manners that violence against Whites is - There are fewer sanctions when White Americans harm minorities than when minorities harm Whites. The legal system doesn’t seem to have too many problems with this, especially in the American South and areas where the minority populations are exceptionally low.
5. There are relatively few social sanctions for being a racist in many areas around the country - If being a racist was viewed the same way as being a child molester or murderer, then things might change here. However, there are MANY areas of the country where using racial epithets or even stating an open dislike or even hatred of a minority are not sanctioned by the social or political leaders of the community.
6. Minorities are often too tolerant of racists and racism - While there are social and economic penalties for not tolerating racism, they often pale in comparison to what happens when you do. Frankly, if minorities grew to be completely intolerant of racism, it would move further underground, or be dropped by many as being untenable or unwise.

As other answers have noted, racism exists EVERYWHERE. Even places which pride themselves in their alleged “tolerance” (Looking at you Canada and Scandinavia!) have serious problems with race, and even sectarian bigotry which is often race-based. However few countries have the unique history that the United States does, and so they don’t have racial problems as profound or as virulent as we do.

Black! You do not see white supremacists on tv. However black supremacists are! I’ve seen Louis Farrakhan on liberal TV stations such as CNN and MSNBC. Even though he calls whites devils. Sharpton is another racist that is on these stations. Unfortunately many Blacks are indoctrinated into the idea that they are nothing but former slaves. They will never get anywhere without government assistance. It is used as a tool by a the Democratic party to keep them in line and fuel hate for the white majority and Republicans. Some men have even used this tactic to make money from this. Under the guise of civil rights they ask for your money and bitch and bitch and bitch but nothing gets done. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, ect are perfect examples. Yet the ghettos of the 60’s are the same ghetto areas of today.

Far from creating a 'polite society' the threat of a lethal armed response from the public has escalated police anxiety levels, fuelled antagonism, and facilitated the persistent use of excessive force.

The police have militarized because they are unwilling to admit they're frightened and think they're in an arms race.

The police don't 'need' to be racist to create these outcomes, but there is no doubt that entrenched social prejudices will manifest itself catastrophically in high pressure situations.

These horrific events are a consequence of American society, not simply isolated bad cops.

America does not have a disproportionate number of bad people.

America keeps making bad decisions.

It’s not racism. It’s police power tripping. They think they’re the law and what they say is the law even if it isn’t, and they think what they did is their job.

Shooting and killing a father and son, and lying about it.

Shooting and killing a deaf man

Pulling a gun on a customer who he thought was stealing candy. Will not admit he’s wrong and makes the customer leave the store.

Didn’t like a man video taping him, so he pulls out a gun and forces a confrontation.

Using their power to take care of personal business

Threatening and using profanity to teach a teen a lesson.

Shooting a scooter rider in the back and killing her. Then lying that the rider tased her so she had no choice but to shoot to kill.

Police executed a no-knock warrant…on the wrong house. But still arrests the home owner just in case they found something.

6 year old was a threat and can over power the officer, so handcuffs had to be used.

7 year old taken away by the police in handcuffs because he can over power the police officer.

13 year old with mental health issues and handcuffed beaten in the back seat of the police car.

Officer follows driver home to his driveway. Pulls a gun on a driver for seat belt violation. Then lies that there’s a crowd gathering to attack him and the driver is confrontational.

There’s way too many to put on here…maybe thousands of videos.

They’re emotionally disturbed. White supremacy really should be classed as a specific mental disorder.

They fear losing standing in the world if they can’t maintain it just by being white. They need unearned privilege and authority because they know they cannot stand on their own merits and actions.

They make no sense whatsoever; and while some of them retain enough mental function to understand that what they are proposing is wrong (witness the Charlottesville WS’s who were terrified of being caught on camera), others do not.

It would be pitiful if they weren’t also dangerous to others, if their fantasies didn’t include the elimination of equal rights at best, and violence at worst.

• When asked about black "racist" groups, all I hear about is the Black Panther Party. The original Black Panther Party was founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale back in 1966 I believe. It was originally called the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. They helped the black communities by bringing them food.
• Free Food Program

This program provided free food to Black and other oppressed people. The intent of the Free Food Program was to supplement the groceries of Black and poor people until economic conditions allowed them to purchase good food at reasonable prices, according to Hilliard. The Free Food Program provided two basic services to the community: 1. An ongoing supply of food to meet their daily needs. 2. Periodic mass distributions of food to reach a larger segment of the community than can be serviced from the ongoing supply. The community was provided with bags of fresh food containing items such as eggs, canned fruits and vegetables, chickens, milk, potatoes, rice, bread, cereal and so forth. A minimum of a week’s supply of food was included in each bag.

• People’s Free Ambulance Service

The service provided free, rapid transportation for sick or injured people without time-consuming checks into the patients’ financial status or means. The People’s Free Ambulance Service operated with at least one ambulance on a 24-hour emergency basis, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a nonemergency or convalescent basis, according to Hilliard. People were transported to and from the hospital or doctor’s office in a modern, comfortable ambulance by courteous, efficient and knowledgeable attendants.

• The Breakfast Program

The free breakfast for schoolchildren program was set up in Berkeley, California, in 1968 by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton. It was the first significant community program organized by the Panthers, and perhaps the most well known. By the end of 1969, free breakfast was served in 19 cities, under the sponsorship of the national headquarters and 23 local affiliates. More than 20,000 children received full free breakfast (bread, bacon, eggs, grits) before going to their elementary or junior high school.

• Health Clinics

The clinics were called People’s Free Medical Centers (PFMC) and eventually were established in 13 cities across the country, from Cleveland to New Haven, Connecticut; Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to Los Angeles. Women, according to sociologist Alondra Nelson, were the backbone of the effort —not surprising, considering that approximately 60 percent of Black Panther Party members were female. Some of the clinics were in storefronts, others in trailers or hastily built structures, and most did not last long. But they offered services such as testing for high blood pressure, lead poisoning, tuberculosis and diabetes; cancer detection screenings; physical exams; treatments for colds and flu; and immunization against polio, measles, rubella, and diphtheria. Nelson reports that many of the women and men involved in the PFMCs went on to become credentialed health care professionals.

• Youth Institute

The Intercommunal Youth Institute was established in January 1971 by the Black Panther Party. In 1974, the name was changed to Oakland Community School. The Black Panther Party goal was to get children to learn to their highest potential and to strengthen their minds so that one day they would be successful. The school graduated its first class in June 1974. In September 1977, California Gov. Edmund “Jerry” Brown Jr. and the California Legislature gave Oakland Community School a special award for “having set the standard for the highest level of elementary education in the state.”

• Seniors Against a Fearful Environment (SAFE)

SAFE, a nonprofit corporation, was started by the Black Panther Party at the request of a group of senior citizens for the purpose of preventing muggings and attacks upon the elderly, particularly when they go out to cash their Social Security or pension checks. Prior to approaching the Black Panther Party, the seniors had gone to the Oakland Police Department to request protection. There the seniors were told that they “should walk close to the curb” in the future, according to a Panther report by David Hilliard, who served as the Party’s chief of staff. The program offered free transportation and escort services to the residents of the Satellite Senior Homes, a residential complex for the elderly in Oakland, California.

The Black Panthers were actually doing good for the black community. I'm guessing that was one of the main reasons white people decided to bust it up.

Racism is originally a ideology of White Supremacy. Although anyone can have animosity toward any group of people. Racism and the concept of race was designed around the notion that Europeans are superior to all others. Johann Friedrich Blumenbach is credited as the inventor or race.

Johann Friedrich Blumenbach - Wikipedia

He categorized different groups into “Races". ALL African became Negroid, considered Inherently inferior. Mongoloid, also consider genetically Inferior, And Caucasoid, consider inherently superior. This also caused Europeans to categorize themselves into sub categories. The Irish/ Celts were considered inferior Their sometimes bushy hair and facial features were consider Negroid, the belief was that Irish people were of African decent and not of Caucasian decent, hence the use of the term “Niggers of Europe “.

A book was published in the 1930’s called the Races of Europe. This book categorized non Nordic European as superior to other Europeans (Slavs, Iberians, Irish). This book also reinforced Hitlers beliefs and helped inspire him.

America, Australia, and South Africa were hailed as a White Mans Paradise. Where the dark skinned people will cater to Europeans:

We can see the effect of this “Race” Ideology in the Hierarchies of Western countries and countries that were colonized:

Minorities in countries have shown racial backlash against the groups in power or toward the groups above them however often they have very little political, or economic power. They also lack the ability to commit wide reaching change without the help of the groups in power. This is seen with African American in the US:

Attack of Reginald Denny during the L.A. Riots:

Post Slavery hundred of thousands of African American were rounded up and put in prison for violating new laws that targeted Black people. These laws were called “Black codes” and “Jim Crow Laws”. The laws said thing like: If a Negro isn’t gainfully employed or doesn't own a home they can be arrested and put in prison.

Many African-Americans attempted to escape the persecution. When they did build their own town. They built schools, Universities, Hospitals, and business. However because of the racial hierarchy sucessfull African-Americans were seen as an affront to the order of things and racist burnt African-American towns, Schools, churches, and business to the ground in the early 1900’s:

It’s illegal to be a white supremacist in Australia.

If you know any white supremacists I’d call the Police and have them arrested.

In the last census the proportion of Australians who were born overseas has hit its highest point in over 120 years, with 28 per cent of Australia's population born overseas, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). That’s over a quarter of our population.

Having said that it would be remiss not to recognise there are a small minority of white supremacists in Australia.

White supremacists are getting press because of this one crazy lady.

Australia did have a ‘White Australia Policy’ that was dismantled between 1949 and 1973.

Why there is a minority of white supremacists is mainly because many older Australians remember WW2, Korea and Vietnam. In war the enemy is demonised so men can kill.

Below is an interview with an Asian journalist and a young Australian who was once a white supremacist. It might explain one of the reasons why. But it’s a much more complex issue.

"For me, I was against Asians because my whole family had been over in like either Vietnam, or World War II fighting the Japanese," Matt said. "Just hearing all the stories of just what my grandfather went through in prisoner of war camps and stuff like that. You probably don't really need to know when you're a young fella."

I wonder how many other Australians grew up with those stories.

"I had a pretty strong hatred, and my father had a pretty strong hatred, because he lost his father from the prisoner of war camp," Matt says.

"So, yeah, I just, I guess I took on that hatred because that's all I heard at home. And then, at the same time, other kids, you know, when you're at school you don't learn about, it was always the Japanese invasion, there was nothing about, you know, the Germans or the Turkish, you know? You never heard anything about that stuff."

It's pretty remarkable that a younger Matt could have an impression of World War II in which the Germans didn't really feature.

And Matt is very honest about what his impression of "Asia" was at that time:

"I didn't even know there were all these different countries in Asia," he said.

"At the time, especially in Western Sydney, we were just told that, these Asians are trying to take over like they did, you know, the Japanese tried to take over," he said.

"So, you know, they're just trying it again, but this time they're trying to come in and live here, you know. Buying up all the property and all that sort of stuff. So, just because we have that background anger and the whole community going on about it, that's why we only targeted Asians."

When he says "targeted", Matt means it.

He says he grew up poor in Blacktown, and angry, and fighting. From Year 8 on, he took a crowbar to school with him. And as a young man, he developed a solution for both the anger and the racism:

"I was just so angry, I had too much anger from being beaten my whole life up until then. I just sort of cracked, and then anyone who looked at me I just went and took on. But then I found that I got respect from that. So then guys actually started to keep away from me. And then more guys joined my group, because they kind of wanted to hang out with someone who was so highly respected, I guess, by fear," he said.

So, as a young man, Matt started to create what would become a group of violent extremists.

He was the leader, and he developed an ideology for that group - a reason for it to exist.

"The whole idea of 'Let's get all the Asians'. Let's just get all, you know, I didn't say it to them, but let's get out my anger, really out on the Asians," Matt said.

This led to two or three years of street violence. And after that, it meant planning a massacre, in Sydney.

Matt and his group had stockpiled weapons, and had worked out target areas and weapons caches.

"I just wanted to go out and get as many Asians or the Lebanese homeboys that we could get. There wasn't any number. It was just until my ammunition ran out, I guess," he said.

"Just kill as many people as possible?" I asked him.

"Yeah. It's pretty sad to say, but yeah," he said.

"So, you were basically planning a massacre," I said.

"Um, yeah. Yep," he replied.

I hadn't really planned for what would come after that question. I was a little stunned by his answer. I think we both were. Because oddly enough, Matt hadn't thought about his actions in those terms before: as planning a massacre.

"Had you thought much about killing people?" I asked.

"No. Not at all," he said. There was a pause.

"Now, I realize I would be killing people. Back then, I was just filled with anger and I just wanted to take that anger out."

It sounds shocking. And of course it was. But sitting there in the kitchen, I had respect for Matt. These things are not easy to say, particularly to a journalist. It is not easy to admit to just how racist you were. It is not easy to admit to racist violence, particularly to someone who, let's face it, you probably would've hated back then. And Matt has never told his story to any journalist before.

Matt came back from the hatred. He had a reality check.

One day he was alone at a bus stop, without his followers, and Matt was randomly attacked by some guys who wanted money. A stranger, an Asian man, waded in to help him.

"After that I was just like, oh that's it. We're going around beating up all these Asians, and we want to kill them all, but this guy just saved my life pretty much," Matt said.

Considering that the fight started with Matt's head being bashed against the wall, he could be right.

Matt stopped what he was doing. He de-escalated his group. It took about a year. Then Matt went to work on himself. He found a job and a different path. He tried to channel his energies into other things. He tried to get rid of the hate which had ruled his existence since childhood.

"How many years did it take to get over the hate?" I asked him.

"Probably, maybe another ten years? I mean, realistically I could say that I never got over the hate," he said. (A flash of panic went off in my head.)

"I got over the hate only really recently, you could say. You know, it'll always be there," he said.

In my experience, people join these groups for similar reasons as people who join most (non-religious at least) groups.

There are three main categories, the true believers, the generally hateful, and those who are mainly looking for somewhere to fit in.

The generally hateful are really just looking for an outlet for their hatred, and potentially violence. They could have just as easily chose Communism, progressivism, or something else, but they for whatever reason chose white supremacy. It's a pretty good ideaology as far as hate goes, it gives plenty of opportunity for hatred. And for the small minority that craves violence, it offers plenty of willing opponents for them to fight. (As was seen in Charlottesville where they fought some of their own kind from other groups). These people typically don't have the best grasp of rhetoric, and they might switch groups if there aren't enough opportunities for violence or hatred.

As far as I can tell, these people are essentially random, and they just join the first thing they come across.

The true believers are where all the doctrine and theory comes from. This is where all the most convincing and hard to debunk recruitment material comes from. This group also consists of people who were swayed by logic and rhetoric. These people aren't necessarily motivated by hatred, they might just dispassionately believe that the Jews control various things, and they've read some statistics about racial IQ differences or something.

This is probably where trying overly hard to censor people like Charles Murray and his extensive research into IQ disparities, does the most harm. By any reasonable account, Murray isn't racist, he merely dispassionately considered all possibilities, and concluded that IQ differences were probably due to various factors.

But certain people's toxic rhetoric and rabid attempts to censor him were among the most powerful White Supremacy recruitment tools in decades. Attempts to censor someone only make people think that you fear what they have to say, and that is extremely convincing. It just tells people that you can't refute the arguments presented. Censorship is undoubtedly the most powerful tool for recruitment to extremist groups.

The last group is people who are looking for somewhere to fit in, or something to follow, because they have been ostracized from society. They might have been bullied or fired for some relatively harmless comment, or they might have been stalked by Twitter goons. They might have been on the news. They very likely experienced some kind of traumatic event, and were rejected or barred from other coping mechanisms.

These guys (and mostly guys in this group) more or less just float along, hang out in chatrooms, and usually don't do too much. Sometimes they move a bit further towards one of the other groups, but usually they just stay. These guys are the most likely to leave the group, if their general life situation improves.

These groups are just guidelines, and some people can be a mix of more than one. There are a few other reasons why people might join, like an overwhelming desire for leadership, without any other chance to lead in their life. They are the counterpart to those who are searching for something to follow.

The majority of recruits join to fulfill something in their life that is missing. It's not as simple as 'they are hateful losers'. That's not a particularly useful sentiment in any case. They will join for similar reasons as to why someone might join any other extremist group (maybe religious terrorists are different).

Why is it wrong to believe that the most important defining characteristic of any given person is how much melanin they’re missing?

Why is it wrong to believe that all melanin-deficient people are superior to everyone else, no matter what their actions, character, morality, or abilities?

Why is it wrong to believe that having a sparse amount of melanin entitles one to discriminate against others, to infringe on their rights, to control them and their free choices?

Gee. I don’t know. It all makes so much sense. /s

Of all the bone-stupid actions of which people are capable, I have to give a high award to anyone who proclaims himself so worthless and lacking in any redeeming qualities that he needs the world to give him extra credit just for not having much melanin - a factor over which he has zero control.

These screwballs. Chicago had a big neo-Nazi problem in the 70s. You can look at the words themselves. White. Supreme.

Whites are the supreme, or superior, race. Or so a supremacist might think, though most have a hive mentality, so to me they are incapable of thinking for themselves.

A white supremacist is a racist. They can also be anti-Semites. Just as with the with the demonstration in Charlottesville, in 1979, there was a big deal made over a planned neo-Nazi march in Skokie, the largest Jewish suburb outside of the city limits. They weren’t the KKK marching against blacks, they were just a hateful group of white people that never wanted the status quo to change.

Make America Great Again! Trump’s slogan really does imply that things were better when neo-Nazis were congregating in parks and picking fights with random people and the KKK were more frightening. Now it is more frightening that some idiot will kill people by driving his car into a crowd.

While white supremacists hate blacks, they still make up their own rules as they go along. Hitler committed suicide. The South lost the Civil War. The true definition of a white supremacist is someone who cannot get the fuck over themselves.

It’s far more common than you think. White supremacy is thought of as fringe and minor and people wearing white hoods and doing nasty things.

But white supremacy is far more common than you think.

My greatest case study for this is Colin Riegels. You can look up his profile on here, he’s a very prolific writer.

Colin Riegels is a middle class, middle income, middle career, middle age person in middle England. There are millions upon millions just like him, millions who think they’re good decent people.

The part that gave him away and of many others was his views on Iraq.

An enormous number people died in the Iraq intervention.

Yet what does Colin do? He simply dismissed all these dead people as ‘a mistake’ a mistake is when I calculate something wrong. A mistake is when I forget to bring my umbrella. Yet as above middle class, middle income, middle career, middle age person in middle England considers the deaths of millions of people to be as bad as when I forget to bring my umbrella.

That’s essentially their lives do not matter to him.

As I said before he’s middle class, middle income, middle career, middle age person in middle England and his views aren’t all that uncommon there are millions upon millions of people like him who think they’re good decent people.

When challenged about it he’s completely meh about it and generally dismissive of views that call him out for it.

That’s essentially non white lives are WORTHLESS!

Whatever western governments do is JUSTIFIED!

So what if BROWN people DIE!

If that’s not white supremacy I don’t know what is?

EDIT

For those who think I’m bullshitting here’s the answer:
