Dear Fred,
I do not understand white supremacy (which I define as the belief that white culture -- most specifically white Christian culture -- is supreme and therefore must be preserved in hothouse isolation).
Like most conservative movements, the "vision" of white supremacy depends on bygone Golden Ages, whose restoration is impossible.
I suspect the impossibility of restoration is much of the appeal.
When you know from the beginning that nothing can really be done to resurrect the pristine beauty of the patina-past, then there is nothing to do but spin yarns, strike poses and praise the good old days.
Barring global catastrophe (which could be the unconscious purpose of inbred white conservatism) it is impossible to imagine any reproductive "scenario" other than accelerating miscegenation until, within centuries, everyone's skin is brown.
"Republicans for Revolution," A Study In Anarchic Apocalypticism
Some traditionalists encourage massive white migration from Europe as if it were really possible, a suggestion as silly as declaring Obama a socialist when, in fact, he is a Rockefeller Republican and stalwart friend of Wall Street.
Fact: White Europe does no reproduce itself much less a surplus of white guys to supplement America's effete "Caucasian" population.
Even in central North Carolina, red neck neighbors who recently championed segregation now participate in mixed "race" unions as if miscegenation were "the new normal."

To postulate a return to white privilege (and white political dominance) is no more realistic than returning to Christianity's communist taproot.
Acts 4:32-35: The Believers Share
32 The whole group of believers was united in their thinking and in what they wanted. None of them said that the things they had were their own. Instead, they shared everything. 33 With great power the apostles were making it known to everyone that the Lord Jesus was raised from death. And God blessed all the believers very much. 34 None of them could say they needed anything. Everyone who owned fields or houses sold them. They brought the money they got 35 and gave it to the apostles. Then everyone was given whatever they needed.
Alan: This extraordinary redistribution of wealth within a command-and-control political structure is as communist as the economic teaching of Lenin and Stalin - perhaps more so since early Christian communism was voluntary.
Of course Ananias and Saphira did not fare so well.
Acts 5: Ananias and Sapphira
5 There was a man named Ananias. His wife’s name was Sapphira. Ananias sold some land he had, 2 but he gave only part of the money to the apostles. He secretly kept some of the money for himself. His wife knew this, and she agreed with it. 3 Peter said, “Ananias, why did you let Satan fill your mind with such an idea? You kept part of the money for yourself and lied about it to the Holy Spirit! 4 Before you sold the field, it belonged to you, right? And even after you sold it, you could have used the money any way you wanted. How could you even think of doing such a thing? You lied to God, not to us!” 5-6 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. Some young men came and wrapped his body. They carried it out and buried it. And everyone who heard about this was filled with fear. 7 About three hours later his wife came in. Sapphira did not know about what had happened to her husband. 8 Peter said to her, “Tell me how much money you got for your field. Was it this much?” Sapphira answered, “Yes, that was all we got for the field.” 9 Peter said to her, “Why did you and your husband agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! Do you hear those footsteps? The men who buried your husband are at the door. They will carry you out in the same way.” 10 At that moment Sapphira fell down by his feet and died. The young men came in and saw that she was dead. They carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 The whole church and all the other people who heard about this were filled with fear.
Alan: Apparently, the Lord saw fit to strike people dead for not participating in full-throttle, all-in communism. Socialist dilettantes didn't make "the cut."
I am sure Catholic traditionalists will have an explanation for this.
They have an explanation for everything - including White Supremacy. (Good Germans had a cheek-by-jowl explanation in the 1930s.)
Only recently did I learn that American nativists actually debated whether immigrant Italians were black - or at least "not white." http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/10/
In defense of White Supremacy (or any other kind of race-based supremacy) it is true that when everyone "sticks to their tribe" and remains culturally and territorially within tribal bounds, tribalism works quite well.
Even so, mass migration is humankind's standard operating procedure.
Just 2500 years ago our Celtic forebears occupied a relatively small territory in what we now know as the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Then, just a couple hundred years ago, our Celtic ancestors migrated from settled polities in Ireland and Wales to the United States where a few hundred earlier Europeans displaced the native peoples whose Aztec cities Hernan Cortez considered much more beautiful than their European counterparts which were only a twentieth as large. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts
Just 4000 years ago, Abraham migrated from present day Iraq to found Israel in Palestine.
Earlier today, friend Jane Stein brought the following article to my attention. U.S. Press Declines To Call White Terrorism, White Terrorism. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2014/04/us-press-declines-to-call-white.html
I have been reading Lawrence Auster and, except for his fairy tale belief in the possibility of a white Renaissance, the man is as dangerous in theory as Kansas Jew-killer Frazier Glenn Miller is in practice.
“White men have become the biggest cowards to ever walk the earth. The world has never witnessed such yellow cowards... We’ve allowed tens of millions of foreign mud-people to invade our country, steal our jobs, and our women and destroy our children’s future. America is no longer ours. America belongs to... the mud-people who multiply in it. It’s time for white men to unite, join together and take our country back.”
Ah yes! "Back." It's always "back." Retreating. Withdrawing. Threatening. Clenched. Defensive. Paranoid.

Philosophically, White Supremacy is as dangerous as it was during the rise of Hitler, another mediocre political philosopher.

Last word's before entering the squad car: "Heil Hitler."
