I'll go first:
I believe that "white people," whom I describe as Caucasians whose ancestry came from Great Britain and northern Europe, were and are responsible for the bulk of what makes this country great. The science and technology, art, music, architecture, literature, philosophy (political, economic, moral, religious), our civil and criminal justice systems, and just as important, the "middle class work ethic." Certainly there have been significant contributions by others - more so in recent years - but most of what makes America great is the work product of white people, mainly white men. There is bad stuff as well, but no worse here than anyplace else in the world, and the good manifestly outweighs the bad.
This belief doesn't cause me to honor any particular white men (or myself) because everyone is an individual, and there are worthless sots among us. Nor does it cause me to look down on anyone else. There are people of all colors and ethnicities who are superior to me by any measure, and I wouldn't deny that for a moment.
But "white people," mainly men, are and have been responsible for most of the good stuff that makes America great.
If that makes me a "White Supremacist," then I am guilty as charged.
What's wrong with it?
Does it stand in the way of people of other races and ethnicities being proud of what "their people" have accomplished? Not in the least. I just like mine.
