Was Dr. Pierce the first White Nationalist?

One of the things about Dr. Pierce's speeches and writings, that I didn't clearly notice right away, was that he was quite unique among other white patriots at the time (not that I knew too many white patriots), because he embraced all white people, whether they were Russian, German, or any other Eastern European or Western European country, or if they were white people from the great European Colonies in the Americas, Africa, and the South Pacific.
Prior to hearing Pierce's speeches, I may have heard the occasional extreme right wing speech or seen a "neo-nazi" website, and usually what I found within those sites or organizations was that amongst the people there who seemed to idolize Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich, those same people would be anti-Slavic, certainly anti-Russian. Not everyone was like that but for the most part you would run into people who would tell you that you had to be of German ancestory to be considered an Aryan. It was not so much the title of Aryan that mattered to me it was the feeling that if you weren't a German then you really weren't welcome to their cause.
I haven't personally heard Adolf Hitler say too many negative things about the Slavs, except from a line in Mein Kampf where he said that he was agaisnt the Slavicization of the Austro-Hungary Empire. Other than that I haven't heard much commentary by him on Slavs. I haven't heard or read every word that Hitler spoke so I don't know everything he said, but I am sure there was a lot of anti-slavic sentiment in the Nazi party among the generals, officers and soldiers, some of which had to fight the Russians in brutal wars, others who had to delegate authority in German occupied lands in Eastern Europe. Some of this was due to petty nationalism at that time, but most of it was probably due to war time misery. And Among the Eastern European countries that Germany had occupied, I think most of the civilians were sympathetic to the Nazi occupation, except for the political leaders of those countries which opposed Hitler. Hitler seemed like a pretty fair ruler to me, he was willing to work with those that appreciated his cause.
Anyway when I first started hearing Pierce's speeches in the late 90's I agreed with pretty much all of what he said. And most of the speeches that I heard early on dealt with the major problems which of course involved anti-semitism. That is the type of stuff you could of heard from other "Radical or Far right" proponents, but I remember his speeches about Yugoslavia during the Kosovo war, when Nato was bombing Serbia. Speeches like "Hands off Yugoslavia" seemed to hit home to me on a deeper level because my parents were immigrants from the former Yugoslavia. Pierce seemed to care about all white people, whether they were Serbian, Russian or descendants of any other European country. This was one of the first times I heard anyone argue on behalf of the lesser known white people of the world, and put all white people under the same umbrella. In fact I would say Pierce's perception of the situation in Serbia at that time was quite prudent, because it was that genocide that woke Russia up, and probably Putin. Perhaps that is a good thing, for now a nuclear power feels threatened by the Zionist Jews.
Fast forward to today, the new National Alliance, under Kevin Strom, and Will Williams, seems to be following in that same direction, by exposing the Zionist roots of the "February Revolution", urging us to stay away from anti-Russian propaganda, and urging us not to be played for fools and be convinced to go into a major war with Russia.
This in my opinion is a key issue which separates the wheat from the chaff. While the Reconstituted National Alliance is on the right track, the same track that Pierce would have been on if he were still with us, other "Pro-white" websites who actually call themselves "White Nationalists" are confused on this issue. There are ongoing debates on those sites between right minded people and petty nationalists which seem to be dividing the very essence of White Nationalism. While these debates are going on, usually with the petty White Nationalists of the Ukraine getting the best of the argument in which they try to convince the mass that Putin is a madman who wants to take over the world and the Russian separatists in Eastern Ukrain are really incognito Russian military troops who invaded the Ukraine, the higher ups at those websites don't step in and put their people in line and put an end to the infighitng. This is not true White Nationalism. This is a congregation of petty nationalists, each with an agenda of their own. You can't claim to be a White Nationalist if you exclude one group of white people from your cause, or allow that one group of white people to be continually battered and harrassed, in this case white Russians, by anti-Putinist Russophobes.
For someone or some entity to claim that they are White Nationalists, they have to lobby hard for all white people and also keep white people from fighting amongst each other. William Pierce accomplished that in his Manifesto, and Kevin Strom is the rightful successor to Pierce's cause in my opinion, and is peforming the task quite admirably. As for other so called white nationalists, some of which give speeches and in my opinion often try to mimic Dr. Pierce's bravado, I think they ought to re-examine the definition of the term White Nationalist and see if it in fact applies to them.
