As long as the United States has existed, there's been some version of white supremacy. But over the centuries, the way white supremacy manifests has changed with the times. This includes multiple iterations of the infamous Ku Klux Klan.
According to the sociologist Kathleen Blee, the Klan first surfaced in large numbers in the 1860s in the aftermath of the Civil War, then again in the 1920s, and yet again during the civil rights era.

Excellent article.
From the article:
I'd say the most effective strategy is to educate people about it, because it really thrives on being hidden and APPEARING TO BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN IT IS! (emphasis mine)
Now I await the usual response from some on the right: "There are other racist besides whites."

But just what is what you call “white supremacist” to me that’s a term used by the MSM and the left to anyone that A: Anyone that doesn’t agree with their philosophy. B: Oh anyone according to them that is a Racist and to them only a white can be racist.
Am I right in that statement?
But according to the dictionary a white supremacist is one who believes he is better than other races only. Therefore in the world of the KKK for example ( which is very very small at about 3000 members) they are. But to believe that there are very large number of whites that believe that I don’t believe that.
Do we have a issue with race. I think nothing compared to what the MSM us to believe.

SFC Robert Escher - OK,, first a little "virtue signaling."
1. I worked in the Civil rights movement back in the early 60's. Had a lot of exposure to racism. Spent 2 weeks in hospitable because of some "good old boys" in Mississippi.
2. In my Army career (1964-1986) I saw a lot of racism, especially in Europe, Vietnam, and Korea.
3. Lived from mid '80's to mid 2000's in northeastern Washington state, about 20 miles from the Aryan nations compound as well as other racist groups. Worked in a gun store and saw a lot of them. More exposure to racism.
So, bottom line, I believe with my past experience, I can pretty well spot racism when I see it.
Now, to your questions.
A. No, you are not right in your first paragraph statement. That is more rhetoric spouted by the right than actual facts about those of us on the left.
B. It is unknown how many white supremacist there are out there. Most stay in the closet. But I think you would be surprised by the actual numbers if they were available.
C. IMO, our race issue is even greater than what the MSM reports on. And it is getting worse.

But your implying that racism only exists only ( according to all of the statement you just made above) to ONLY Caucasians. My friend Racism exists in all. Whether you wish as a Liberal or a Democrat ( again your statement not mine) to believe that. The MSM hides a lot of it. You Hide a lot of it.
I’m going to exit this conversation because it’s not going anywhere. You believe what you want to believe. But I leave you with the below link.

SFC Robert Escher - Well, you can quit this discussion, but you are quitting in the wrong. You article (from one of the most right-wing pages on the net) is nothing more than opinion. A wrong opinion at that. It leads off with "White privilege is a crime, according to Leftists" which is blatantly incorrect. Please show one source from the left that claims that. You won't find one. Once again we see fake spin coming from the right.
As to what you say I am "implying" you are also incorrect. I do not ever "imply." I post openly and fully, writing my exact thoughts.
And the MSM does not publish enough of the truth about racism in this nation, FROM ANY SIDE.
