I suppose you should ask someone who is a supremacist white, black, or Hispanic. They all exist you know. Ever hear of La Raza (The Race) or the Black Panthers? They are supremacist groups but the media never calls them that. So ask your question to them.
Now from what I've read in the media (taking everything with a big grain of salt) and both history and political science, most people get insecure when they look to be losing something or on the edge of losing something. Not completely unreasonable but the problem comes when you decide how far you're willing to go. Eight years ago the democrats pretty much had it all; the White House with a progressive/socialist president, the House (with a progressive/socialist Speaker), and the Senate (with a political opportunist in charge). The only thing not completely in control was the Supreme Court but eight of years of Obama gave the left a slight edge. The untimely death of Anthong Scalia gave the left hope that everything would fall into their laps with the election of Hillary Clinton. The course would be irreversible for the US. Okay, McConnell blocked Garland and Obama from complete control of the Supreme Court...not to panic. President Hillary would set things right and get even with all the GOP for being white and male. Things didn't work out that way. The left saw that they were going to lose when they were so close. So they lost their fucking minds.
Remember how I said it was the problem of how far are you willing to go? Well, some on the left have decided that words are not enough. Protest is not enough. Targeted violence seems to be the coin of the realm now. Violence at opposition rallies is permitted (see Trump rallies around the country), violence at lectures is permitted (see Ann Coulter and Milo), violence on campus to intimidate students and recruit others is permitted (see MU, UCLA, and Evergreen Campus), violence against radical foes is permitted and encouraged. The media will not condemn but turn any casualty into a martyr to the cause without explaining the cause. The democrats still in power will provide opportunities and provide cover (see Chicago and Virginia). Police will stand aside, investigations will go on without end, prosecutions will end with ridiculously small punishments for significant crimes.
Yes, the left is going insane while our country is still under attack or threat of attack from radical terrorism, Russia, China, or North Korea. Talk about insane. Think about a group of firemen stopping to have a knock down, drag out fight in the middle of a five alarm blaze. They would be idiots. The left refuses to accept Trump or the rights of those with conservative values (not racist or supremacist views). They are in the process of dehumanizing the right just as the Nazis did to the Jews in the 1930s. It makes what next come easier which is happening now. Look to the words of the media and left; hitting a Nazi (or who you define as a Nazi whether they are or not) is okay, accidentally killing a Nazi is okay. Next is disenfranchise anyone you disagree with and further isolate them with words. Box them in so that the majority start looking upon anything they say is suspect (see the left response to anything from Fox News).
Paraphrasing Reverend Niemoller:
When they came for the Nazis I did nothing because I was not a Nazi.
When they came for the Klansmen I did nothing because I was not a Klansman.
When they came for the White Supremacists I did nothing because I was not a Supremacist.
When they came for the heritage of our country I did nothing my ancesters were not Confederates.
When they came for the right wing activists I did nothing because I was not an activist.
When they came for the leaders of the right I did nothing because I was not a leader.
When they came for the right wingers I did nothing because I was not a right winger.
When they came for me...there was no one else left to defend me.

I'm pretty sure today, he would have absolutely stood up against the neo- nazis, klansmen, and other supremacist groups. He did speak out against the nazis and was imprisoned for it.
I'm not sure how anything you said explains the blanket hate these groups have. It's cowardice. What person has a right to anything over another because of their skin? People have the right in this country to think and say dumb shit. People also have a right to call out and oppose those people who say that dumb shit. Racism is a cancer, we should vanquish it.
What kind of man blames another for his station in life anyway? If a white man loses his job, why does he feel it's the one black man's fault because he didn't lose his? Why isn't it the fault of the other 100 white men that kept theirs?
No, I haven't heard of La Raza. If they're supremacists, I'll paint them with the same brush. The Black Panthers violence is also unacceptable.
