Richard Spencer: "Why Do They Hate Us?"
Richard Spencer is the chairman of the vaguely-named National Policy Institute, a white supremacist think tank, and the founder of Radix Journal, one of the movements primary publications. Hes one of the alt-rights most visible leaders, and relative to others, has tried to give it a more moderate, intellectually refined image.
He has, for example, included a gay speaker at a past conference, and instead of indulging in rabidly anti-Semitic rhetoric like his fellow traveler, the neo-n**i Andrew Anglin, he has described Jews as an out-group ally who can help legitimize the idea of white identity.
Nonetheless, a November 19 conference hosted by Spencers group, featured n**i salutes and anti-Jewish rhetoric amid excitement over Donald Trumps victory.
Spencer makes his pitch in this slickly produced video, posted on YouTube last December. In it, he urges white people to rediscover what he believes is their lost identity, evoked by images such as blinking blue eyes, a cowboy and a portrait of Napoleon. In the videos final minutes, Spencer flashes an image of an Israeli flag to identify an ethnic group the Jews that he argues whites should emulate in asserting their own identities.
