8. I don't think White Supremacists is strong enough.

White Supremists or Extremists or White Power movement does not capture the fact that their goal is to terrorize POC and anti-racists. Their veiled, and not so veiled, threats to "eliminate" POC and "take back" the country for it's "rightful" white populous are terroristic threats.

To me, they are White Terrorists, plain and simple.

Also, the transition from "White Supremacists" to "White Terrorists" seems the most straightforward.
