the Turner diaries are both incredibly, violently racist (advocating for extermination of Black people, POC, Jewish people) and also very much in line with the cancel culture playbook; the main character constantly frames himself as oppressed...
and specifically insists that he is oppressed for being "racist" (which he always puts in quotes.)
it's just a very clear illustration of the fact that when the IDW/andrew sullivan/conceptuajames/ben shapiro, whoever—when they say they're not racist, what they mean isn't really that they treat all people equally.
what they mean is that there's no racism possible because the groups they consider lesser are in fact objectively inferior, and so their contempt for them is simply in line with facts and objective truth.
this is why the only racism they care about is reverse racism. they see discrimination against Black people as objectively justified, so not really "racist." whereas denying the superiority of white people is counter to objective truth and therefore unjust discrimination.
