I react to a White Nationalist (Richard Spencer)

- It's a bit of an eyebrow-raiser when you think about Richard Spencer, known for his white nationalist views, and then you find out he's got German immigrant roots. It's these little ironies in life that make you stop and think about the stories we tell ourselves and the contradictions we sometimes live with.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?

Why don't this piece of garbage spencer and all the other racist nazi trash like him go to the whitest place somewhere else and stop stealing people nations like America and many other places this scumbags live. They mix with everyone by force then play victim as it don't workout.
ok 🙂
May I say this the American Continent was never white, it was brown. Whether from Latin America to Anglo America, it all was populated by Indigenous people. Aztecs, Mayas, Incas, Amazon Indigenous, Cheyenne, Sioux, Tainos, Yanomamis, etc. and the Europeans came and made it white. Now some of them resent the notion of it going back to it's origin.
Spencer's a has been. I think he's a fed. He's also a Biden supporter, unbelievably.
I didn't finish the video earlier, so I have 1 more comment. Prior to 1965, the immigration policy was geared towards keeping the country majority European. & if I'm not mistaken, the population was around 90% European, or European decent, up until the 70s. You could probably careless what I think, but I'd prefer that America. I think the multiracial America is going to end up with serious problems. I think that's intentional though. It's a little divide & conquer tactic used by those in power. & those in power have big plans for us. But that's another conversation for a different time. Your videos are always interesting. Have a good 1.
USA was established as a predominantly anglo-saxon society
Was.
On someone's property.

And will soon !
White race time is over on this earth...
@@rosekt2023nope.
Reds did not own USA
Anglo-Saxon-Norman. And anyway, darn Anglo-Saxons always trying to run roughshod over the Scots, Welsh, and Irish. Hamilton (Scottish)! Carroll (Irish)! McHenry (Scots-Irish)! Jenifer (Swedish!!)! Livingston (Scottish)! Paterson (Irish)! Dobbs Spaight (Irish)! Williamson (Irish or Scottish?)! Fitzsimons (Irish)! G. Morris (Welsh)! Wilson (Scottish)! Butler (Irish)! Rutledge (Irish)! Blair (Scotish)! Over 1/3rd of the signatories of the Constitution who weren't Anglo-Saxon-Norman!
Did he just call everyone who built the infrastructure in this country pathetic ? And at the same time he never mentioned indigenous Americans once ? Did he ?
He did say he was pro conquerers and pro colonialism.
or black Americans who came here only 12 years after the first white settlement was founded. To African Americans, he is an immigrant and to native Americans we are all invaders
This makes him pathetic!
Yah so it’s cool to be an immigrant but only if you’re the first white skinned person to steal the land if a non white skinned person 🙄
@@SBEtherwave, when your own sh*t is not very good, you try to steal or take other's people's stuff. QED
Those of us who have never been able to "pass"...deal with people like him everyday.
He really shouldn't be worried about either cultural fusion or "mongrelization." Even without non-European immigration, the average skin tone of U.S. citizens would darken within a few thousand years to the coloration of Mediterranean peoples, given the warm climate of North America compared to Europe. And, in one sense, this country is, in fact, not becoming multicultural, but more homogeneous. Social media allows fads, trends, and other modern sensibilities to spread like wildfire, putting pressure on Americans (and not just young people) to conform to a standard of "hip" or "cool." Americans used to speak English relatively formally, and to write the language even more formally. Now our speech patterns seem to mimic, either consciously or unconsciously, the Southern California "dude/dudette" style or the slang vernacular of rap/hip-hop music. Our culture is being corroded, but it's not by immigrants. (Of course, given how traditional Spencer is, he probably hates that too.)
I absolutely LOVE what you brought up about the speech patterns. Gotta look into that
This European America is nothing but a land stealing genacidale maniac enslaver. If there so great. Why didn't they do it without enslaving and stealing.
America was built on land theft genocide and slaver. And yes there were slave brought. But black aboriginals were already living in America. They just classed them as so called native Indians. Why. Land claims.
"Like" valley girls speech pattern.
Mr Spencer conflates white skin colour with American culture and you've shown us over and over that the two are *not* the same at all. It's some mix of hilarious, sad and offensive that he thinks of immigrants as "pathetic" when... hellooo... guess what his family was. I agree with you - he does not know who he is.
Mr?
Mr. Spencer is wrong on so many counts. American culture is definitely not exclusively "white" by any means, especially when it comes down to the food we eat, the music we listen to, and even our most predominate religions who were also not founded by white people. Jazz has been called "the one true American artform," and guess who got that started? I'll give you a hint, they weren't white. Our cuisine is a mix of influences from not just Anglo-Saxon Britain but from Africans, Native Americans, and immigrants from all over the world. And as far as the religion part goes, this still somehow comes as a surprise to people who I guess have never been to the Middle East or remotely know anything about it, Jesus wasn't white. It's so hilarious but tragic at the same time that all these white nationalist Christian identity types espouse the supremacy of "White Christian" values when Jesus Christ and his disciples were all olive skinned Middle Eastern Jews. The cognitive dissonance and the required mental gymnastics that takes is astounding.
whites built a nation. We did not immigrate to become part of Cherokee nation.
@@krisstarringthe theory is rationalized in their minds by saying the 12 tribes of Israel that migrated out of there Levant were White Indo-Europeans who then migrated to the Caucasus and were converting to Christianity along the way. It goes further and claims that specifically Celts and Germanics are the true biblical Jews. It goes a step further than that with also claiming ashkenazi Jews are actually khazarian converts. The funny part of all of this is that it’s really hard to fully disprove them because of the vagueness of where the 12 tribes of Israel went and the sprinkles of truth in the argument (regarding Ashkenazi Jews) and the lack of many sources on where they went.
As for your other point, do you define a thing, be it cuisine, music, or a system as being derivative of that culture? Because cultural diffusion is a real thing, and that could blur the lines on the concepts. My point is that we don’t really say global maritime trade is derivative of Western European culture or that any country printing the newspapers is appropriating German culture. It depends on how you define it, and over time the cultural movement can become adopted en masse
@@GuacamocLmfao you sound like a White Hebrew Israelite 😂
I think what he means is that it was a white run government. There have been people of other races here since before the country was formed. The only reason they didn't see other races in certain places and levels is that they didn't allow it and enforced the separation using discriminatory laws and violence.
Correct and you can see a similar thing in South Africa where there was apartheid, and now that same apartheid has reversed into discrimination against the white Dutch. Because the reality of life is that there is always going to be an upper class that runs the lower classes whether its racial, class status or ethnical in some way. Whites did not start the slave trade it was the Arabs and local African tribes that did, in reality slavery has always existed but we are talking about modern the slave trade of course, whites only profited form it later on. That's the sad and unfortunate state of human nature.
He says being an immigrant is, "kind of pathetic." His ancestors were immigrants. Ergo, his ancestors were pathetic. I mean, it follows logically, right?
It was hard to not come to that conclusion.
Because his ancestors were European and helped build America and didn’t negatively effect European demographics.
His problem is non while immigrants going to white / European countries
Being an immigrant is pathetic, abandoning your own country and your own people to live in a foreign land built and inhabited by a foreign race for materialistic reasons.
The immigrants should stay in their own country’s and build those countries to become successful
@@punishedgloyperstormtroope8098 That isn't what he said. That may be what he meant, but it isn't what he said. I am taking him at his word.
@@gazoontight you simply have no understanding of his ideology.
Your American multicultural arguments are insane to me as a European.
You say America belongs to natives and whites should go back to Europe?
Yet in Europe we are told native European rights don’t matter and we have to accept mass migration of invaders destroying our culture and purity and Paris is no longer a French majority city and London is no longer majority English
It's odd that a caucasian man takes issue with other people immigrating into the U.S. or in European countries when British and European people left their homes to immigrate to other people's homes. Why wouldn't they? His tunnel vision makes it hard to take him serious, and he needs to do some serious self reflecting as well.
The funny thing is, ALL of my ancestors have been here hundreds of years longer than his.😮
The funniest part is that the majority of immigrants from Mexico proper are majority white to begin with and will assimilate rather easily
The European created the US. All your ancestors (supposedly all since it's rare to find a pure North American Amerindian except among some tribes like the Navajo) are from here, but they didn't create the US. Spencer has more of a right to decide who is allowed to immigrate to the US because his ancestors - not yours - created this civilization.
@@trugrit7210 that’s a fair point. When talking about immigration, it’s important to remember multiple people groups have claims to the same strip of lands. European Americans have been here for roughly 10+ generations, more on the coasts. Their claims are valid just as Amerindians are. There are multiple ways to settle the differences peacefully or otherwise but absolute neglect for either sides point is a dangerous game to play @both of y’all
Yep!
@@trugrit7210 Wrong. His came later after mine did all the work.
Danielle, I really love you and all that you do! You are genuinely asking the questions that need to be asked! Why isn't any of the main stream media willing to ask these questions?
That's kind of you. I stopped watching the news a few months ago. I came to the conclusion you can't really ask the right questions if your paycheck is tied to your work
In 2014, Spencer faced deportation from Budapest, Hungary, resulting from his attempt to organize the National Policy Institute Conference, catering to White nationalists. The Schengen Agreement enforced a three-year ban across 26 European countries as a consequence of these activities. Europeans disown him.
WOOOOOOOOOOOW
Not surprising.
Hungaryis a white nation still. Racially all ethno state. Schengen agreement is result of EU who are pushing mass immigration
Europe is Anti-White and this proves it. When foreigners move into white colonies around the world we get told we should or could “go back to our homelands” and then people like you and Europe deny us a homeland as well. You can’t understand the Whitelash?
That's so funny. Also considering the fact that Hungarians come from Uralic tribes who you might call not exactly white
He is about creating a country designed with his own benefit in mind. One where his greed and desire for power is in part supported and determined by his perceived birthright. He is about maintaining a world where others are always inferior and the normal course of change and progress is viewed as a degeneration of the status quo. One he finds comforting and beneficial. He twists reality to meet his needs and has no regard for others. Even his own *kind* should genuflect to his superiority and bow to his guidance without question. He is using cult tactics to achieve his goal and aligns himself with anyone he perceives has power that he can benefit from. He knows the truth and is openly rewriting it and creating bias in those who listen to him. He is a form of evil. As an old white man who can trace himself to the very core of this country's inception I denounce his thinking and work to counter it at every opportunity.
Bravo!
Well said, old white man!
Old White man, every other group of people thinks and behaves like Richard Spencer, except not only do they expect it as a birthright in their own countries, but they practice it as migrant groups too. It is perfectly reasonable for a Thai person to believe that Thai people should benefit while living in Thailand and you wouldn't begrudge them for holding this view. Rather, you've been inculcated with White guilt, to the point where you know you'll gain social points for denigrating a man who advocates for his own people, in a world where everyone else advocates for their own.
If you are a white man, you are a traitor to your kin. You are the type of “elder” who would sell his own daughter. We have a responsibility to our family and our race.
@@konyvnyelv.NOPE he isnt protecting shit!! Because not even western europeans are a monolith, your own continent not even can allign with eastern europeans
Spencer is making some really good points on behalf of the American Indians.
Love the part where he basically said, “The forefathers didn’t immigrate to America, they conquered it.” 😂 Noooo, buddy, the ONLY reason the forefathers successfully immigrated to America was because the Native Americans allowed them to and aided them in all their endeavors. They didn’t “conquer” anyone until they gained the trust of Native Americans and used them to survive and thrive for many years. If the Natives didn’t originally welcome the Europeans, the Europeans would have instantly been killed or staved to death. But he wants to keep pretending the first Europeans in America were such powerful conquerors! 🤦🏻♀
@@findingbeautyinthepain8965So many colonized lands made the same mistake of being welcoming
@@findingbeautyinthepain8965 Some of them did. But a lot of them were already dead when we got here, due to the rapid spread of European diseases.
But, speaking of taking advantage of the work of people who were already here, plenty of early immigrants did simply move into the villages, the homes, the cultivated farm lands, which were either left empty due to diseases or taken over by force from societies that diseases had already weakened. They didn't always build their homes out of raw wilderness. A lot of that work had already been done for them.
Oh my you went there 👍🏾
Racist, Native Americans
I really respect your sense of restraint and class on handling this subject matter. It definitely brings up a lot of emotions and frustration for me, knowing that he represents what a lot of Americans think.
When I looked through NYTN's recent videos I was like "Oh no! Her idea of 'exploring identity' is dick riding white nationalists." I'm glad I didn't let that strong first impression prevent me from looking further.
There's actually very few people who think that way , even in the 50s , it was kinda like the gay pride now, not a majority just loud n connected, and Jews were playing a big part in this noticing difference and making a deal about it
It's not a lot of Americans,it's specific towns and small groups.... Because most of America is mixed with other races from Roman times
I think the Jewish people brought that idea of not mixing and made it a big deal , because many many of the first Americans from Europe mixed with the Indians and Spanish....... That's how they survived and created America

"Knowing our family story is of the utmost importance". Very true. In the last couple of years, I have been on a journey of discovering my family history, and it has given me a new understanding of myself in relation to my own ancestors.
Im so glad to have you here!
Interestingly, from my european / german point of view, this actually seems to me like one of your pathologies in the US. Nobody here in europe cares that much about ancestry beyond people from living memory. And I would bet this isn't much different in Africa or Asia. At best it is an item of curiosity or weird hobby. The only ones who ever did that here were the nobility.
@@drake5518 What I find interesting is that you take it upon yourself to speak for the whole of Europe and even include both Africa and Asia as a whole in that statement. I think you would find that there are a whole host of individuals and indeed communities of people here in Europe that are very engaged with their ancestry. And almost none of them are nobility! (Gasp!)
From my own European/Norwegian/Finnish/Swedish/etc. background I find great pleasure in finding out where we came from to put my own life in perspective. I find it sad that you have no interest in ancestry beyond living memory, but I don’t think you should put your own personal perspective as being universally applicable to Europe as a whole. But that is of course up to you.
I note with interest your poor choice of words regarding what you call the "pathologies in the US".
I will simply state that I thoroughly disagree with your statement and position.
@@torhansen8570 Congratulations on your hobby. Now how many europeans have you had actual contact with?

I am saddened by the abject ignorance Mr. Spencer espouses.
I am proud to see the way you dissected his statements without going into a justified trade.

@@nytn respectfully, it doesn't make any sense. Yuri Gagarin was a Russian, Russians are Europeans eventhough they colonized Siberia. White Americans and Australians are European peoples eventhough they live outside of Europe.

Space, cathedral, huh! I wonder if Spencer ever saw the pyramids?
And he know who created mathematics? Europe was filled with barbarians. Not that there was anything wrong with being a Barbarian.
Roman’s were Latino, came from Latino faliscan Italic tribe of Latium, Italy. Italians are Latino, American government destroyed the culture. Which is Latino, I speak Italian and some Spanish and it’s the same. You speak a Romance language like Spanish, Italian. You come from latini or Latino.

Hi, Danielle. I had an raised voice discussion with 3 co-workers, all Trump supporters, maybe two yrs or so ago. They were talking abt border immigration issues even though as fed workers we are not to talk abt politics. They also claim to be Christians. The tone they used was not kind. I angrily yelled at them "well, I am an immigrant". Some of my family came here from the Channel Islands as French Huguenot in the late 1600s. Some from Bremen Germany like Spencer in 1700s & found in Revolutionary War. We are mostly English, Welch and Scottish according to Dna and paper trail. I asked them as I left the lunchroom. "What would Jesus do?" I also told them abt my friend from Eritrea who fled thru Sudan as a teenager abt 45 yrs ago. Baby sister & brother shot & killed. Mother shot but survived to make their way here. Father had arrived 2 yrs earlier. My friends' daughters now college educated. A good family, made their American dream.
Keep up your good work, Danielle. We need your voice. Debi from SW Ohio
What was interesting to me is that Mr Spencer is upset with Trump for not being against immigration. Im so thankful for those who want to be a part of the American story who come and make us a little better. Thank you for being here:)

They seem to forget that all whites were not a part of the original white identity in America. Go back and look at the history of the Irish, Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Jews...etc These groups were never initially accepted as white. It is only over time that the white franchise expanded and accepted them as white. The original whites in this country were WASPS, emphasis on ANGLO, and had no use for the other darker shade of pale whites.
Not sure how the fact that different types of Europeans felt about others, somehow deconstructs the reality of a European people.
In fact, the original immigration policy references White people.
There are different shades of pale. European or white is not some monolithic identity. In fact whiteness is a made up identity to justify Native American genocide and Black African slavery here in the west.
The only place your "whiteness" adds any value to you is here in these post colonial slave states. White means nothing in Europe. Just look at all that white on white crime takig place in Ukraine right now.@@Octavian2

Benjamin Franklin didn't like German immigrants "Franklin was alarmed by the influx of German immigrants to Pennsylvania. The German immigrants were lacking in a liberal political tradition, the English language, and Anglo-American culture. In Paragraph 23 of the essay, Franklin wrote "why should the Palatine boors be suffered to swarm into our settlements, and by herding together establish their languages and manners to the exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our language or customs, any more than they can acquire our complexion?" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observations_Concerning_the_Increase_of_Mankind,_Peopling_of_Countries,_etc.
Barz! This dude is a whole German playing an American! Full on Infiltration!
Benjamin Franklin was ignorant of his own ancestry. Being of English (Anglo Saxon) descent, he was Germanic himself.
Dang, Anglo Saxons (originally Germans) being racist their fellow Germans who remained in the mainland and didnt immigrate to the British Isles is wild.
He is not talking about his people. They were “different immigrants “.

Richard Spencer gives all credit to Whites for space technology and travel? In fact NASA gives credit to a Native American Woman named Mary Ross for winning America's race to the moon. Ross was the leading engineer for developing flyby space vehicles, agena rocket and the NASA Handbook. Also, the NASA Mars Rover was developed by a Native American Man named Aaron Yazzie. There were Black American NASA engineers too, such as George Carruthers who led a team that developed the first Moon-based astronomy observatory, and another team that developed a Far Ultraviolet Electrographic Camera. Now what would NASA be like with out the innovations of Ross, Yazzie and Caruthers?
Thank you for adding some NASA history, here! I didnt know about Mr Yazzie

And the main rocket technology that got us to the moon, was done by former NAZI scientists.

Hello DanielIe, I just wrote a long comment about Spencer's illogical and incorrect points, but I lost the comment. Here is a small recap. It is quite hilarious when you think about it. What is scary is that Spencer has so many acolytes. Just think about the founders Apple, and Google. Steve Jobs was of Syrian descent and Sergey Brin was of Russian descent. Many of the richest billionaire entrepreneurs are from immigrant families. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. These people have made huge contributions to the national GDP due to commerce and technology. Not to mention all the scientists who worked on the Manhattan project. There were huge contributions made by the unpaid labor of the enslaved people who built the American South. Railroads were built by huge numbers of Asian workers. Going back in early American history, black people have been here for at least 400 years. These are just a few examples of immigrant contributions. This country would not exist if not for immigrants. Thank you for commenting on Richard Spencer's illogical beliefs.
The British colonies that became the original 13 colonies then states of the US were multi-cultural, multi-racial, and multi-lingual, just as the US is today. I was born in 1951 and grew up and was schooled in rural Mississippi and none of this is or was a mystery to me. OK after the 8th grade I went to school in the booming metropolis of Jackson, Mississippi. So half rural and half city slicker educationally. This nation was a melting pot when it was British. If it was good enough for my grand pappy it is good enough for Richard Spencer. Dadgummit! This is just another example of people creating an imaginary world they wish to live in and then trying to force that imaginary world on the rest of us. I suspect my indigenous friends my have less kind words for Mr. Spencer.
And all of them were white.
Love how you are taking this to another level.

@@nytn, you suggested that a comprehensive examination of their genealogy might unveil a historical truth that Anglo-Saxons did not categorize them as White could potentially diminish hatred. Such introspection might reveal instances where their own kin faced discrimination and exclusion. Interestingly, this awareness, though transformative, might be guarded as it challenges their ingrained sense of belonging to the construct of whiteness.
Lmao to the person that said Germans were not Ango Saxons. The Angles and the Saxons were literally Germanic tribes
🤣
There's a difference between Germans and Germanic. Scandinavians are Germanic, that does not make them German. Germans are a mix of different Germanic tribes. The Anglo-Saxons are simply the Germanic tribes that formed the modern day English people.
I thought there were indigenious white people on the british isles. The Angles and Saxons came later, and by force. Same with the Vikings.
Yeah but the Angles and Saxons are specific Germanic tribes that came from the area that is now Germany (and Denmark). They settled Britain after the Roman empire fell.

It was not long after the 1848 revolutions, there was a lot of political unrest, economic depression, and overall it was not an easy time to be in Europe. Conditions that we see in a lot of countries that people are immigrating out of today.
We also did the same thing for family members who immigrated over from Ireland at various times , Italy, and other German states. Every time we found that there were severe problems in their home country.
I really think this shows that when people talk about my family is from this place in Europe, that they have no idea what actually was happening in that country at that time. People seem to just assume that Europe has always been this Idealic prosperous continent, and nothing can be farther from the truth.
Also, would like to point out that a great many advancements in science, medicine, and architecture have come out of plenty of non-white places. It makes me so angry and sad to hear people like this guy spout his hatred.
Lastly, we really need better education , and teach history better.
And this is why they're so against CRT. They want to continue with the lies. 😢
Amen!! His ideology is absolutely white supremacist whether he admits it or not. And he’s showing so much self-disgust toward his own immigrant heritage, if he knows about it. If he’s unaware, then he’s even less intelligent than he appears to be, which is significantly less than he’s pretending to be or would like to think he is. What a sad person to be so immune to insight and lacking in even a modicum of self-reflection.
This is such a good point. The self-disgust. I am stunned by it.
Totally agree, on both sides of my family, ancestors left or were forcibly displaced by religous war and/or economic exploitation or lack of opportunity. It disturbs me that the younger generations don't see how this is significant.
As was referenced by his interviewer, Richard Spencer closed a speech praising Donald Trump by saying, "Hail victory. Hail Trump." He was saying "Sieg heil. Heil Hitler," the verbal part of the Nazi salute, but in English and with Trump's name. It is thus a surprise to no one that some audience members then stood and did the gestural part of the Nazi salute. It wasn't a coincidence.
Trump is completely different,he is NOT a war monger like regular republicans are ,his foreign policy is more humane

When Spencer says that "White" became understood as one "European" family, why he doesn't extend that to Spain. Does he consider them the inheritors of their Spanish ancestors? Are Hispanics part of his European family. All those people who've become accepted as "White" can also be un-included when it's convenient in the future. "White" nationalists are perfectly happy with anti-Semitism, even though Jews and Arabs are counted legally as "White." It's not a race, and it's certainly not one big happy family.
He does extend to Spain, what he dosen't extend to are the mulatos from latin america, whites from south america are also included
@@lb1110 Spain had been "mulatto" for centuries after being invaded by North Africans in 711. Arabs, Afghanis, and Syrians are all "White" in the census, as are Jewish people -who aren't considered mulattos, but aren't originally from Europe. Anyway, 19th century US literature was full of anti-Spanish, and obviously anti-Italian rhetoric. They weren't considered "White" until it became convenient, like now. Ultimately, there'll need to be blood laws to prove pure European identity -since mulattos won't be included.

This man's been cancelled years ago. Theres a recording of him having an outrage. Reveals his delusion and his racist outlook. The sweet sugarcoating washed away.
Richard Spencer is David Duke Jr…..who got burned in a Court of Law
His argument is very weak. The United States is an immigrant country; indigenous populations arriving much earlier than many and that doesn't just include North America, but South and Central America. Later migrations of largely Anglo-Protestant Europeans in North America, Africans forced to the Americas (Mid-Atlantic Slave Trade), then other European populations. But even before North America now the United States was settled, the Caribbean and South America was settled about 500 years before establishing the United States and largely by Southern Europe, Spain. Right, does he know how many other Europeans who followered who weren't classified as white? As it seems Europeans didn't follow the white United States idealogy in the same manner, in that case some Southern Europeans wouldn't be considered to have white skin, but Europeans identify with the country of origins. White in America is a strange construct that several European groups couldn't even check the box for. Truly a complex topic. My history consists of the African Diaspora, Native Americans and European immigrants, so I feel I can speak on behalf of many; United States identify is way more complex to me than he's describing.
White was never an ideology you dumb anti-european fuck. It's litterally just slang for europeon.
This has never been a one-race nation. There were natives living here when the Europeans arrived. Jamestown was founded in 1607, and by 1619 they were importing enslaved Africans only 12 years later. Need I remind everyone that Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in North America
Not to mention in 1598 my ancestors founded Santa Fe and California around 1769. They were Spaniards and Mestizos from modern Mexico.

Not really. Muslims did not invent Algebra. The word comes from the Arabic word, and they invented certain theories, but the Greeks were using advanced mathematics long before Islam was even a concept!

Search up the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, in fact modern historians now believe that Pythagoras learned the "Pythagorean theorem" from the Egyptians due to him having studied there. In short we all learn from each other, information and knowledge cannot be attributed to a single race.
"White" should not be used in this discussion because it's a figment of the 'white nationalists', for their bigoted aims. "America" should not be used in reference to these united States, in this context. This guest isn't knowledgable on this subject and that's unsurprising. "tradition" can be useful but isn't sacred and when someone wants to retain/return to traditions the motives should be teased out to know if there's wisdom in it. The most important fact this bigot should learn is the change our nation is undergoing is irreversible, expected, and good for the majority. Populism is always on the rise when any group begins to lose power. There will be strife but the bigots will lose this battel.
Whiteness is very difficult to define. It seems to be more of a social classification than a race or ethnicity. I'm sure that there are those who have a problem including Armenians, Italians, Greeks, Egyptians into the "White Race", though these groups are now allowed to classify themselves as White. Richard himself, strikes me as a very insecure person.

Being white is irrelevant. Individual and social responsibility are the guiding principles of our country. It has been a learning process. I don’t identify as “white,” though I am of Slavic, German, and Ulster-Scott, Catholic and Protestant, discendency. The idea of the United States was to ultimately give people the ability to live peacefully with one another, despite our differences. Mass immigration does present its own set of challenges.
Indigenous Americans were overrun, and had their lifestyle destroyed! This guy is excessively Eurocentric! He is missing a lot of history!
Apparently, my German ancestor came over on a Dutch ship called the Adventure in 1734.
Skin color is irrelevant to me from both a religious and scientific standpoint! I just love people!

I agree, the history is complex. Mass immigration DOES change things. But writing off immigrants in toto is funny when you're here because of them.
So glad you are connecting the dots in your family story. Your brother is a gem!
Are Europeans considered white? I think he means European serfs and religious groups ran onto ships, usually because they were being chased out by someone, and were hoping to win freedom in America. Most of them died. However, some Europeans made it, survived, and started colonies. They were probably all colors, not all white. But it’s okay to say mostly Europeans. That is not a racist statement.
No need to interview or queston him. Milo Yanappolis, a racist LGBTQ man, released a secret audio of Spencer ranting that black people should have continued to be slaves and that we are less worthy of being. He continued to rant. The audio pretty much confirmed he was always a vile racist and all of that “cultured” posturing he did on these old interviews was just a game. Thanks for sharing.

I totally agree with you that America is not just a derivation of Europe and that it is distinctly American, rather than just white. I think you one-upped Mr. Spencer on that point, but I think his assertion that this country is not just a nation of immigrants is correct. An immigrant travels from one country to another, but the United States were formed from people who traveled from one place to another, and then formed their own country. That is categorically different from being an immigrant.
Also, I don't think Mr. Spencer is inconsistent by having German immigrant ancestry and advocating for a white America. His problem with legal immigration is the origin of the people immigrating.
Well, Richard Spencer just showed how utterly ignorant he truly is. He obviously is unaware of World history and Geography and if he is aware ,then chooses to remain ignorant. SMH.
Wow, this was great. I went to Bremen numerous times when I was stationed in Germany. Family research is great. I started my research in 2018 and I’ve learned a lot. I must say be prepared for whatever you might find. The download is great as well.

I went through a phase around 14-16 where I fell in to this thinking, I was an angry lonely kid with no meaningful relationships and a feeling of low self worth. I used to be fascinated with Nazi's and recall I also had a negative view of other races and women...I grew out of it, but that's what is at the root of this. We have too many angry lonely men right now and this Dark History of White Supremacy instantly becomes a comfort blanket for these men desperate to feel a sense of empowerment...
This is such an insightful comment, an really incredibly honest. I had no idea there was such a connection
Ok fair enough, I am not angry at all and certainly no white supremacist but whilst I don't agree with all of what RS says I he does actually make some good points and the demographics in my city are dramatically changing to a disproportionate amount of immigration to what it should be, he should be allowed to express himself as long as he makes sure to tell any of his supporters to be non - violent, I also think there is nothing wrong with saying anglo/western countries should be predominantly white based on the foundations they were built on.
You always bring clarity to these kinds of subjects, thank you my sista, keep up the good work of understanding of thy self, it seems like mostly everyone is on the path of self-discovery... 😉😊
I appreciate that
I would say to Spencer that biological and intellectual supremacism are not the only varieties; there is also moral supremacism, which, despite being religious/ethical in nature rather than scientific, can also be a form of racism. And there is such a thing as passive supremacism. If you feel aversion to people who are different from you, then even if you claim to regard them as equals, you are implicitly judging them. You are insinuating their inferiority.

You're pathologising a perfectly natural in-group preference, which you would never attempt to do for any other ethnic group. The island of Japan used to be inhabited by indigenous tribes until it was conquered by mainland NE Asians. These Chinese and Korean settlers formed the ethnogenesis of Japan and created a wonderful nation - I'm sure you can see the comparison I'm making here. Now, if Japan started allowing mass immigration like many Western countries have to the point where they were about to become a minority, would be unjust for the Japanese to wish to oppose this? After all, they were immigrants from China and Korea originally. Of course it wouldn't.

The guy lauds all praises to the “white leaders” at America’s Space Program without realizing that it was actually founded and rooted in diversity from its very beginning.
***The popular movie “Hidden Figures” was based on a true account of the key role: gifted Black Female mathematician: Katherine Johnson, computer scientist, and engineers - were part of the excellent multi-cultural teams contributing to put the first American in Space, and on the Moon.- and also the Space Shittle Program.
His views on everything contains gaping holes that it brings to mind a famous Mark Twain saying: “It Ain’t What You Don’t Know That Gets You Into Trouble. It’s What You Know for Sure That Just Ain’t So.”
Both America and Russia used Nazi scientists. They were the heart of the space program
That's so delusional that you cannot be serious. One black female in a group of ten thousand white men is not multi-anything.
If you pointed the existence of Katherine Johnson, he'd probably just move his goal post and claim that it's thanks to the mathematics white people developed, and the schools white people built that she was able to make a contribution. That's why I often find it pointless to argue against them.

Thanks for this posting, Danielle. The questions in my mind are less related to the person Richard Spencer or others with similar narratives and more about how people who "other" their brothers and sisters get traction with their followers. It is a complicated situation that must take into account an entire economic strata in America for whom access to a fair living wage, adequate social services and a quality of life ("the American Dream") has been blocked. There is a strong correlation between nationalism and those who have fallen into this group. They are often so disenfranchised that they forget who they are and where they and their families came from and become vulnerable to the belief that the "other" is the problem and not the loss of democratic ideals and opportunities. Anyone providing them such a reductive explanation complete with targets for their anger can easily get their attention and loyalty. The United Nations website has more info on this. We can change it if we stop falling prey to these negative nationalist narratives and return to our democratic roots. Of course, the sooner the better else we suffer history repeating the lessons of Germany in the early 1900's. We need to fix equity in America one day, one choice and one vote at a time. 😊👍🏼☮️

Yes, I first heard of him several years ago. I admire your take on this; unfortunately, I really doubt that being presented with the facts would do any good. This is willful ignorance on a massive level. I know people like him. Everything that you said for your part though I agree 100%. Anyone that lives in this country that's not indigenous was somewhere down the line an immigrant! It is simply true. Just as when we as immigrants came to this land, not all of us were voluntary (or, white). Since race is a construct, it makes me want to laugh AND cry at the man's foolish hubris. It's really embarrassing the way that he talks about Europeans. Really cringy. As a white person, I understand the changes that are happening in our country are perfectly natural.

I'm on team immigrant as far as his background. I wasn't quite sure who he includes in his definition of white or I missed it. So many groups became white as you've educated us about in your videos, he clearly must be generalizing based on appearance. .
The sound quality of this video could be improved if you evened out the varying volumes of the people talking. Try taking your WAV file and using a limiter on it (-6 dB and click "yes" to "apply make-up gain"). This should even out the sound. I'd also recommend doing some "limiting" for solo-voiced videos to give your own voice more presence and "pop" (-3 dB might work for solo voice). As for Spencer, virtually all of what he says was said by Pat Buchanan already, except Buchanan had a better handle on history.
Could you do a video explaining the “Doctrine of Discovery”- it might explain a lot of the ideas behind this individual’s beliefs.
In Chicago, the Ukrainian refugees , they are not "blending in" but have more support systems, whereas recent Venezuelan migrants don't have the same support like distant relatives or groups living here. It may be different in other cities. I'm Irish, but much more in there.
I'm mixed race and I have never had a problem acknowledging White peoples' pivotal role in shaping the West. There are five continents. There are four traditional races of people. Each of these races have a continent they can say belongs to them. Africa-Blacks, Europe-Whites, Far East- Asian and the Indo races are spread over Latin America and Southeast Asia, India, Pakistan etc. And this is not a generalization. I believe this is a natural order ordained by God.

Originally white was only a political title for the English elites, so in this respect he is correct.

So, a person who identifies as white and who is not a white supremacist looks down on immigrants, ignores his own family history, and upholds colonization? He does know what comes with colonization, right? So the erasure of one's ancestral legacies, stories, and traditions is what he upholds and values, and his idea of white identity is preferable. Did I get that right?
My mother ALWAYS stressed knowing where I came from. My family tree branches across several countries from 5 continents (and the Oceanic region).

Very fair and good analysis, thank you. A pretty strong quote in support of your argument comes from Ralph Waldo Emerson's journal per Professor Nell Irvin Painter (formerly of Princeton University), where he refers to Germans, along with Irish and Blacks as a "guano" race that would fertilize the soil of America for the Saxon race (what he called the English/North American descendants of the English) in her book "The History of White People, 2010, page 188. I wonder what how Spencer would react to it.
Also have you ever considered having guests on your show? If so Dr. Painter might be a good one, since she has also studied both North American concepts "whiteness" and "blackness" in her career. Think it might be quite interesting.
