Here's what I don't understand. the Americas were once populated by "natives"(non-white) for many centuries until Christopher Columbus(or the Vikings?) discovered this continent. Europeans then settled in the mid 1500's to 1600's.
Since these white supremists originally came from these European countries (Spain, France, England, Holland, Sweden) what makes them think they should push out others from countries not in N. America? The natives should be the 'true' Americans then shouldn't they?

Social Darwinism, one of the primary racist philosophies, basically says that races have the right to do to each other whatever they wish. Therefore, according to many racists, Europeans deserved America because they had superior technology and easily disposed of the Native Americans. White Supremacists would probably say Native Americans weren't using the land anyways.

All countries (including Australia) were invaded by Europeans. They killed, raped, plundered the native population to near extinction. I don't think it is any different in America. White supremacists are just racial people that believe indigenous blacks folks are below their level of thinking and therefore inferior. Of course your American Indians are the true owners of the land - try telling that to the KKK! Thank God we don't have such a melting pot of racists in our country, unfortunately we are slowly getting there! Not much we can do about it - if you are black, red, yellow or disabled, you are marked. Remember what Hitler did?

Well, the Mormons believe that the native people were actually white Jewish people that came here on a ship. LOL!

Exactly. I've had this issue with Australia for all my life. Aboriginal people were here first, they own the land. Who are we to say we (white ex-England inhabitants) own the place?

Because white supremacists are arrogant intolerant ignorant backward thinking types who have no place in the future of humanity.

Rather than answering this rhetorical question. let me give audience to your being pulled down to their "small-minded" level: your "question" is, in fact, divisive. It smacks of drawing provocative lines "in the sand" and asking those who would 'bite' to cross it. You're trying to "pick a fight" rather than influence, and better, human minds. The human condition is the way it is because of the ones who would look to agitate rather than iron out the wrinkles. I know that sometimes we need to ask provocative questions to get honest answers... but pick your battles.
