A '''white nationalist''' (colloquially, a '''wignat''')<ref>https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Wignat</ref> is someone who believes in creation of a [[caucasian|white]] ethnostate, or a separate, [[segregate]]d homeland whose membership would be contingent on white, European/American ethnicity.  

someone who believes in creation of a white ethnostate, or a separate, [[segregate]]d homeland whose membership would be contingent on white, European/American ethnicity.  

It shouldn't (but does by the unscrupulous) refer to nationalists who happen to be white and/or are merely interested in what concerns white people as group; like any nationalists in republics with extended democratic features and that support extending their democratic features within their country without discrimination (or is erasing the consequences of such) to all races or colors including themselves, they are really simply "civic nationalists".

It is to note that the term does not refer to [[nationalist]]s who happen to be white, or who are merely interested in prioritizing white identity and white peoples' collective interest as a group, despite the [[Establishment]]'s insistence on such. Many [[conservative]]s are often falsely accused of being white nationalists by leftist [[globalists]]. For example, the SPLC accused [[Stephen Miller]] of being a white nationalist for opposing [[DACA]].<ref>https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020/01/14/miller-dismisses-daca-emails-mirroring-anti-immigrant-extremists-views</ref> [[MSNBC]] also falsely referred to protesters at a [[Virginia]] gun rally in January of 2020 as "white nationalists".<ref>https://www.msnbc.com/weekends-with-alex-witt/watch/richmond-in-state-of-emergency-ahead-of-gun-rally-residents-fear-another-charlotteville-77089861538</ref>

Some white nationalists claim that theirs is not a sanitized version of the white supremacist movement,<ref>Swain, Carol M. (2002). The New White Nationalism in America: Its Challenge to Integration.</ref> claiming that while white supremacists advocate political and social dominance for whites, white nationalists believe only in separatism. This view is convoluted and challenged by many.

The anti-Nazi activities of the [[Jewish Defense Organization]], including publishing the names, addresses and telephone numbers of white nationalists online, has caused many such groups to close.

The anti-Nazi activities of the [[Jewish Defense Organization]], including [[doxxing|publishing the names, addresses and telephone numbers]] of white nationalists online, has caused many such groups to close. In response to groups such as Searchlight publishing the names and addresses of white nationalists, a website called Redwatch was established to publish the personal details of self-styled "[[Antifa|anti-fascists]]". It is believed that a left-wing [[trade union]] activist, Alec McFadden, was stabbed as a result of his name and address appearing on Redwatch.  

In response to groups such as Searchlight publishing the names and addresses of White Nationalists a website called redwatch was established to publish the personal details of self-styled "anti-fascists". This has attracted criticism from the BBC, amongst others.  

White nationalists had arguably their biggest moment of fame during the 2017 ''Unite The Right'' rally in [[Charlottesville]], Virginia, organized and attended in part by white nationalist and [[alt-right]] figures such as [[Richard Spencer]] and [[David Duke]] in an effort to both protest the removal of the [[Robert E. Lee]] statue, as well as to bring more people into their ideologies. The event culminated in the death of Heather Heyes after avowed white supremacist James Alex Fields, Jr. drove his car into a crowd of protestors. Many other hateful groups such as [[Neo-Nazis]] and [[Ku Klux Klan]] members were also present at the rally, though their presence at the rally was not as prominent as the [[MSM]] claimed it was. The proportion of white nationalists to the rest of the population was very well represented by the subsequent ''Unite the Right 2'' rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. in August 2018, which contained 30 white nationalist protesters and thousands of counter-protesters.
