White nationalists are white people who believe that their country should remain majority white.
The Nazis in Germany during WWII were white nationalists with their belief in the "Chosen Race."
Many countries today have groups of white nationalists. I firmly believe that the Brexit vote was based in white nationalism.
Hmmm... do you think there may be a good portion that just don't want their heritage destroyed... Right or wrong these statues represent their ancestors. They understand it was a different time with different social norms. You or I born into that society would have been just as prejudiced by today's standards... We would not have known any better. These people may very well not even be prejudiced or care about white majority rule. My family came to Missouri from S Carolina and the majority of my male ancestors fought for the south...and many did not own slaves... I can see being upset if my heritage was being destroyed.

The reason and judgment of modern mankind informs that we do not need to be slave to a 'tradition' 'culture' or 'heritage.' We take from and learn but one is not required to honor the past's violence and butchery.
Events such as these tell us there is a long way to go to leave the 'signs' of oppression and the southern culture and tradition and heritage of racism and the 100 year subjugation of blacks...removed. Removed not just from public sight but from the memories of those who once did celebrate such racism and slavery.
Why however though do we pay such respect for our constitutional right of freedom of speech but don't hold the same reverence for our equally constitutionally protected right to assemble ?
There are NO 'illegal' assemblies. For those who become violent, their actions become illegal...not the assembly.
Where can I find this "reason and judgement of modern mankind"? As with all of your tin foil hat theories, you don't have a foundation under any of your postulates. For instance, by your arguments, black people today shouldn't have any problems with prior slavery or racism issues because the reason and judgement of modern mankind tells us they don't have to be slaves to tradition, culture or heritage. So, good, according to you its all fixed now.
The legal part for the most part has been fixed with the exception of the obvious attempts at gerrymandering, voter restrictions and job discrimination. Haven't the slightest idea why you now go on about 'tin foil hat' theories whatever they are.
However no, it's not 'all fixed' now and quite the contrary. Because for example not just the confederate flag which to me, could just as well be a Nazi flag, representing the flag of a country for traitors who revolted against this country.
Then there are the statues and my presumed honor of a man who resigned his officer's commission in the US Army to go join another army to fight his former country, the ultimate in traitorous action. The US would have been equally justified in hanging Lee as it was in hanging John Brown.
