Does anyone know how many white supremacists there are out there. Judging by the 24 or so in DC today, I think you are vastly overstating their numbers. Almost fearmongering....You don't get out much, do you.
a) They often have good reason to not speak about their views publicly. b) I don't have a page to cite, but I would bet that white supremacists vote at a much higher percentage rate in the U.S. than African Americans do.
In 2014 there were ~46 million African Americans living in the USA. In 2016 election 59.6% of those voted. That is 27.4 million people. 89% of the African Americans voted for Hillary. That is 24.4 million people. So are saying that there are least 24.4 million white supremacists in the country. Really?

He wrote "vote at a much higher percentage rate." I think that just means he thinks they turned out at greater than 59.6%. Which, though unverifiable, is plausible. They seemed pretty energized, Deplora-ball and all that.
Also your math is a bit flawed. Eligible voters are a subset of all blacks living in the U.S. Age, incarceration, etc.
