So, what's the deal with Richard Spencer?

I saw that he held a rally at the Lee statue in Richmond.

Is this guy a legit white nationalist, or does he just get the label because the left has repeated it? I've heard him say he's "alt-right" but never a white nationalist.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he secretly worked for the DNC, as much as he shows up to "champion" causes, thereby sullying them by association.

He veils it under "European culture" but it's full white nationalism.

Who's more willing to conduct an autopsy of his party/movement openly on social media immediately after Macron won than democrats are willing to release an autopsy of the 2016 election six months later in a simple holiday weekend Friday news dump.

Preservation and defense of white identity and European culture is a worthwhile charter. I don't care for Spencer's antics but the underlying message is sensible, it's why they hate him so much.

It's ok for white people to advocate, call it whatever you like but being proud of who you are and where you come from is admirable to me regardless of ethnicity.

Would it be that much more difficult to take 5 minutes to look into his past than to just spin [yet another] conspiracy theory out of thin air?

Maybe people would take him more seriously if he'd 86 all the Nazi saluting and Heil Trumps.

OK.

Let me know if he drifts into white supremacism.

That's where I have to part ways.

Pride in white European culture and heritage is the veneer. His underlying message is that non-whites are naturally inferior and that whites should segregate themselves. He's pretty open about it too whenever asked straight up.

When did he say that whites should subjugate and rule other races?

Richard Spencer is more thoughtful, self-effacing, and intellectually curious than any other leader of any other movement along these lines. Yet he is easily the most vilified.

Richard Spencer is a fricking moron. He's nothing more than a shock jock.

Im pretty sure Spencer is a white nationalist. He is actually good for political discourse in this country IMO

Yeah. Being "proud of your ethnicity" is one thing. Denigrating other ethnicities to make yours appear better is 99.9% likely racist.
