White women don't have it worse than white men. If anything white women are more accepted, including by extremely racist types, than are white men. You'll find plenty of "down with whitey" black men who are nevertheless with white women. You don't really find "down with whitey" black women who are with white men as they hate them. And note, specifically just the racist ones. Because people who aren't racist aren't going to care as much what race their partner is.

Firstly, I'm not sure I've ever come across black supremacists. There are certainly black people I know that have a victim complex or racial grudge against whites, but "supremacist" seems inaccurate because most of these people are more focused on their victimization rather than black pride (though I'm sure pockets exist which represent this mindset.)
Really? This leads me to believe you are privileged to live in a rich area that doesn't really have the racist kind of problems poorer areas tend to more frequently have. Also in before you claim "not rich" as that's also a really common response from rich folks, presumably because they're comparing themselves to people who are even richer than they are, rather than comparing themselves to those poorer than they are. Or in other words if you're surrounded by rich folks all the time, that will register as your "normal" and instead of thinking of yourself as rich, you'll focus on someone even richer than the typical people you hang out with. Because they will also register as "just normal" if you don't have experience living in poorer areas.
Also, and I know you're not going to like this, but if you're in the North you're automatically richer than and more privileged than people in the South, for the most part. So maybe you're "not rich" for where you live, but that would definitely not be the case somewhere else.
Also if someone lives in California they're pretty much de facto rich unless they're homeless. Because you can't afford to live over there unless you are rich or living on the streets.
White supremacy is a bit easier to document, since it's generally more visible.
Black on white crimes are statistically more common than white on black crimes. While many crimes have purely selfish non-racist motives, for example robbery, don't rule out racist hate crimes. There are definitely racial supremacists of every race and who will kill you if they get the chance, just because you are not their race, and if they saw an opportunity.
What we really have is a poor people problem. But poor people, instead of properly blaming the wealthy 1%ers in charge who create all the mess, will instead put the blame on people of some race that's not their own. So you end up with more racism and even the supremacist kinds of racism in poorer areas.
Racial supremacism and gangs go hand-in-hand and where you find one you'll find the other. And while not all gangs are racist, there are definitely racist gangs. And a lot of that starts in the prisons and then spills out to greater society. Because a lot of times prisoners feel that they have to join a prison gang for protection from the other prison gangs or they will die. So they'll go with whichever gang accepts their race. But then if/when they get out of prison they're still gang members for life. But yes a lot of gang recruiting is done in the prisons.
Want to fix all this? I strongly suggest prison reform. Protect prisoners from the other prisoners and you remove the incentive to join gangs, many of which are racial supremacist. Also hold the 1%ers of the world responsible for their actions. Maybe enact universal basic income. Change something. Because you have to give the poor people a chance or the crimes will continue out of desperation.
Also the greater the divide between rich and poor, the greater all the other problems, and race being such an easy scapegoat, hence all the racism.
