So the Japanese are yellow supremacists, The Israelis are Jewish supremacists and Mexicans are brown supremacists. You say I am a white supremacist. What's the difference between my views and the above examples?

It is white countries, and only white countries, which are forced to accept diversity, and ultimately the displacement of white people themselves.

I just read that, and my first comment was LOL and Confused. But I guess you just don't see the things like they are or see just one side of the story, it is actually very simple.

Israel in the past 10 years wasn't fighting its infiltrators from Sudan problem enough. Those people were crossing the border illegally and would end up mostly in Tel Aviv. When the situation got to where there was no job for all those people, they had a problem of keeping their very basic needs like food and shelter, and what do you think that led to?

Crime!

Now the government had put it in its top priority to stop those illegal infiltrators and to deport the ones who were already staying here illegally, especially after a rape incident which stormed the country.

My main point here is that if those infiltrators were white, believe me they would be kicked out too.

Curiously, I saw a Black geezer grooving at the flower Kings concert in Holmefirth, and remarkably that is the only black man or woman I have EVER seen at a prog rock concert.....also in the few conversations I have had with black men about music - all of them thought that progressive rock was the same as death metal - in that all of them said - "Not listening to that it's all bang bang bang - gives me a headache......" or similar , Conversely loads of white people flock to and appreciate the black rooted music of Blues/Soul etc.....seems to me that racism seems to be a reverse polarisation of the normal trends.............

George Clinton was a fan of ELP as was Bernie Worrell in Parliament/Funkadelic.  Again, though...back then you had "black stations" and "white stations" unlike now where it's a melting pot.  Funkadelic drew their inspiration from the Cleveland Ohio and Motown sounds of Detroit.  If anything, "funk" snuck it's funky little head into prog rock.

Well, being in Israel, you certainly know more about it than I. Incidentally, I support the actions of the Israeli government. 

Poverty does not lead to crime. The people of Appalachia are very poor. There is virtually no crime. During The Great Depression, thousands struggled to make ends meet. There was no increase in crime.

Am I correct in saying that Israel is a Jewish state? Is Israel interested in "diversifying"? Is there affirmative action for non-Jews? If not, why not? 

I repeat, why is it okay for Jews, Africans and Asians to have their own homogeneous countries and not whites?

I am not aware of any methods engaged in order to stop African-American musicians from challenging the likes of ELP, King Crimson, Genesis, etc. Ah, but they are very English - I hear the response. Absolutely!

Krautrock is very Teutonic, whilst Italian Prog is, hmmm, well, very Italian. Nothing to do with racism, but more like cultural backgrounds and influences. Simple, isn't it?
