White supremacists, like black supremacists, Jewish supremacists and Asian supremacists, are those that believe their own group is superior to all others and every other group is inferior, or "less than" their own. That view is seen as the essence of "racism," today. (https://youtu.be/_MYvZQiD3IM)
White separatists, like black separatists and every other kind of separatists are basically people who just want to remove themselves from (primarily) urban society. Separatism implies only a desire to be left alone, NOT hatred of any kind.
"White Nationalist," like "Black Nationalist," etc., are fictional, made up names that have no meaning. Nationalism infers NEITHER supremacy, nor separatism. The term, qualified by an ethnicity, is meaningless.
The first two terms are NOT synonymous, but are often used that way with disastrous results. The third term is meaningless and seems one that was devised to bolster the Neo-Colonialist Anglo-American Globalism/One Worldism that seeks to eliminate national sovereignty, including our own, while deriding the worldwide Nationalist movement that sees the diversity of mankind's cultures and heritages as a very valuable thing.
How dangerous is this misuse of words?
Randy Weaver, was a decorated Vietnam Special Forces veteran who moved to rural Idaho to separate from society. He'd been doing just that for years when FBI & BATF agents, first entrapped him (they bought a shotgun from Weaver, then finding that sale was legal, went back and asked him to saw the barrel down - when he handed them the saw, they told him, "Deal's off unless you cut it down"). They then approached Weaver seeking him to become an informant on a Neo Nazi group in the area, to which Weaver had no connection. He told the agents he had no use for that group, nor any group and wouldn't do it.
A warrant (for selling a "sawed off shotgun") was issued and promptly sent for the wrong court date and to the wrong address and that was used as a pretense for raiding Weaver's small cabin in the Idaho woods.
In the ensuing botched raid, they shot the Weaver's dog, then killed Weaver's 12 y/o son, for attempting to defend the dog and in the ensuing stand off, killed Weaver's wife, as she held their infant daughter and seriously wounded Weaver with an errant attempted kill shot.
For their troubles, stemming from using the terms white "supremacist"/"racist" and "separatist" interchangeably, a number of agents were let go, others reassigned and the surviving Weaver's won a $3.1 million judgment in 1995.
The Federal courts let these rogue agencies (and the government) off way too easy. $300 million doesn't come close to compensating Randy Weaver for the loss of his wife and only son, nor the 3 surviving Weaver daughters of the loss of their mother and brother.
The Weaver case had the government attacking a U.S. citizen and Military veteran over THEIR own mistaken views, making a martyr of Randy Weaver in the process, while undermining government credibility going forward.
The result was that the FBI threw the BATF under the bus, shifting the bulk of the blame to that "rogue agency."
Actually, the FBI had been rogue throughout J. Edgar Hoover's tenure, obviously continued to go rogue afterwards, as proven at Waco and Ruby Ridge and since then, became politically rogue with Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, etc., after that.
Labels themselves are tenuous things. Few people are defined by any one label.
I call myself a "Conservative," sometimes a "Paleo Libertarian" (a Libertarian with traditionalist/Conservative leanings), BUT I support abortion, at least until the child can survive outside the womb, on the grounds that an UNWILLING parent is also an UNFIT one, at least at that time and I support basic gay rights, on the grounds that that consensual activity meets no reasonable conditions for a crime.
I primarily identify as "Conservative," because of the ugly intolerance and often ill conceived positions of the Left.
Recently, instead of retrenching and reconsidering our obsession over inadequate labels and sloppily using words with distinctly different definitions, interchangeably, we seem to have doubled down on our mistakes.
Just last week, Chicago White Sox Shortstop Tim Anderson was suspended over his actions during a bench clearing brawl, during which he called Kansas City Royals Pitcher, Brad Keller, "the N-word."
Tim Anderson (the offender) is black and Brad Keller (the offendee) is white.
In the midst of a bench clearing brawl, where guys were trying to punch each other out and otherwise do each other bodily harm...MLB suspended a player over an insult.
Does that insult make Tim Anderson a "black white supremacist," or "racist"?
Well, in today's world, it DOES seem to be enough to get him categorized as an "anti-black racist"...OR is it "black separatist," or "black Nationalist"?
Apparently, Tim Anderson is NONE of those, at least there's no actual evidence that he is and using "supremacist"/racist, "separatist" and "Nationalist" interchangeably isn't just sloppy/lazy thinking, it's just plain...wrong.
