The comics character is explicitly misogynist, implicitly homophobic, but I don't remember him being particularly racist.
Moreover, the idea of his journal inspiring the Seventh Kavalry would be pretty disgusting to him because he would not accept his words being used to mislead and (willfully) misinterpreted. Even if he would be behind white supremacy (which again, is in question) he wouldn't be okay with white supremacists misusing his words in such a manner, leading to a Do Wrong, Right scenario.

Rorschach, in the comic, is presented as being right-wing, but the comic does not explicitly state that he was racist or homophobic (aside from a few remarks that can be interpreted as problematic). It does, however, make his misogyny clear, but that stems from his own mistreatment as a child.
I should note that I added the example because Damon Lindelof explicitly noted that if Rorschach wasn't dead at the start of the series, he would be disgusted with how his journal was interpreted. It didn't become a symbol to expose the truth and ensure the man who killed millions met justice, it became a means to justify killing innocent people.
Where the hell did you get the idea that Rorschach was a white supremacist? Misogynistic, I understand, but how can you think he would be in the same ballpark as white supremacy?
You just sound mad that people don't like the direction they're taking the series.

Can this page be unlocked? With the series finale having aired last night there's a lot of activity and information to add (including some ymmv) and we can't because the YMMV is locked over one particular issue.
Whoever added that Roscharch would not be happy with the way the Seventh Kavalry has interpreted his journal is either willfully misinterpreting the original comic, or just has not read it at all and is basing their opinions out of some insane version of Watchmen they conjured inside their dreams. The character in the comic is explicitly racist, homophobic and a general white supremacist. The idea that he would not approve of this is completely against the several sequences in which he refers to people of color and people of different sexualities as lesser than, including a moment in which he complains about the prevalence of minority sex workers as well as considering outing a fellow vigilante as gay so as to harm them. Who the hell wrote this and what version of the comic did they read, because I'm pretty sure they're from an alternate universe. Goddamn.
