White nationalists seek to perserve their white race, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just like how some nations do not want cultures from other countries to mix in with them, which makes them anti-immigration, which isn't a bad thing.
White separatism and white supremacy are subgroups of white nationalism. They are the bad ones.

Any other questions?
The MSM is trying to lump everyone who thinks globalization has gone a little too far at the expense of the working men and women of America and Europe (and those working folks are black, white, brown, purple... every color humans come in) into a bucket of racist white supremacists. It's laughable and stupid

Tell me how being white and being a nationalist would prevent others from lumping me into that category. The vast majority of American's, esp the young left groups, do not see a difference. White=bad is what I am seeing. Doesn't matter what I think or believe. There has not been an atmosphere of listening to others for a while in this country.

It's good you now know the difference between a White Nationalist and a Nationalist who happens to be white.
As far as white = bad? That's not really a thing. Attempts at conversations about racism and bigotry get twisted by people who wish to keep us divided. Right wing media tells white people they are resented, hated, that minorities want us to feel guilty etc... it's not so. Not to the degree it's portrayed.

So I was thinking about White Nationalist today and thought, yes that is what I am. Thought I am white and I believe in nationalism instead of globalism. Then realized, just because I am white and believe in nationalism....what does that mean? Geez think I may regret this.
As usual Wikipedia has an answer
White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which holds the belief that white people are a race[1] and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity.[2][3][4] Its proponents identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation.[5] White nationalists say they seek to ensure the survival of the white race, and the cultures of historically white states.
SPLU
White nationalist groups espouse white supremacist or white separatist ideologies, often focusing on the alleged inferiority of nonwhites. Groups listed in a variety of other categories - Ku Klux Klan, neo-Confederate, neo-Nazi, racist skinhead, and Christian Identity - could also be fairly described as white nationalist.
This is not me and i doubt many here, who are nationalist, are of that belief though we prefer nationalism vs globalism. So the fact that we are white and also embrace a national identity we are a subset of White supremacist (or vice versa). I totally reject that idea and it needs to be better defined.
I am a mulit generation Texan and we have had Americans from Mexico here well before my family arrived. The earliest family died here in 1830. We have also had black families here before my family arrived.
We are well intergrated and only gave it a thought during the 60's and have since moved on. No matter the race, we share a culture.
I dread the likely hateful response and will not respond. If name calling occurs i will ask this thread be shut down.

you're a white, and you're a patriot
don't let the media invent a new tag, pin it on you, and then demonize you/it

The Democrats and the media want the population divided into groups and pitted against each other.
That way nothing will get done, gridlock achieved, and we are easier to control.
