Just making a direct quote where you claim that white supremacists are just acting in self defense.

I think he was saying that white supremacists were responding to a perceived (and real) diminishing of white people proportionally to the rest of the nation. He called their political activity a "last ditch effort" and is probably right about that.

So they are acting in self defense against a perceived threat to their race. The same reason the Klan formed up back in 1865, to defend white supremacy against the (in their view) upended status quo at the end of the Civil War, when free blacks would soon be voting.

I believe MattC was describing the behavior of white supremacists, not defending it.
