I want to say that the existence of _black_ Christian nationalists show that there isn’t full overlap between these groups.  
But thinking about it, a lot of these people will repeat white supremacist talking points despite their own ethnicity. e.g. They likely won’t acknowledge how bad chattel slavery was. So I really don’t think there’s much difference IME.
