> Maybe you watched a movie about white supremacists when you were a child and it stick to your mind.

Well, I:

* Lived near a sundown town.

* Watched one of my closest friends get recruited by an associate of David Duke and slowly get indoctrinated into white supremacy.

* Had a white kid in high school proudly tell me about the time they "beat the shit out of that nigger" just because they didn't like the way he looked at them.

* Watched half a schoolbus full of elementary school kids joke about "porch monkeys".

* Grew up in a city named after one plantation in a neighborhood named after another one.

But, sure, yeah, I must be imagining it all.

I provided a link to lots of articles about white supremacy in the US. It is you who have provided no counter-evidence.

No, I'm not saying you are imagining. I suspect (not state) that you are biased, and describe the issue larger than what it is.

And I can give you a link to Google, when you can find anything.

You just provided a link with the list of white supremacist organisations. Nobody denies these organisation exists.

But there is no proof that "white supremacists" have significant power. They look like small marginal groups with no money and no real power. Like religious sects.
