The hatemonger next door

From remote Montana, clean-cut Richard Spencer is trying to make white separatism respectable
BY LAUREN M. FOX


Richard Spencer sat sipping his chai latte at the Red Caboose, a train-themed coffee shop in downtown Whitefish, Mont. Clean-cut and restrained, he reminded me of a hundred outdoors-obsessed people I had known growing up here in the Flathead Valley, a resort area nestled in the shadows of Glacier National Park.

But Spencer’s tidy appearance is about more than his sense of propriety; it’s a recruitment tool. Spencer advocates for white separatism and he wants to shake his movement’s reputation for brutality and backwardness.

“We have to look good,” Spencer said, adding that if his movement means ”being part of something that is crazed or ugly or vicious or just stupid, no one is going to want to be a part of it.” Those stereotypes of “redneck, tattooed, illiterate, no-teeth” people, Spencer said, are blocking his progress. Organizations that monitor domestic hate groups say it’s just this unthreatening approachability that makes Spencer so insidious.

Spencer says now, more than ever, it falls to people like him to be engaged and savvy if America is going to combat the growing threat of diversity. In particular, he’s irritated by the rise of U.S. minority births, which outnumbered white births for the first time in 2011.

1. WTF business is it of his?

If he wants a predominately white society let him go form one out in the middle of nowhere. No one is stopping him. Like my mom used to say, "You go sticking your nose into other people's business and you're liable to get it whacked off."

10. He's every bit as "crazed, ugly, vicious, and stupid" ...

... as those "tattooed rednecks" he pretends not to be.

... just goes to show, if you're superficial enough to think white skin makes you a better person, you're superficial enough to think your haircut and attire make you "respectable".

23. I think he's grossly overpessimistic.

"being part of something that is crazed or ugly or vicious or just stupid, no one is going to want to be a part of it."

Luckily for him, there's an awful lot of evidence that that isn't true.
