Buoyed by Donald Trump’s election victory, white supremacists who gathered at a conference Saturday called on him to implement a 50-year moratorium on “non-European immigration.”
Richard Spencer, a leading white nationalist who heads the supremacist National Policy Institute and claims to have coined the term “alt-right,” called the proposal “obviously possible,” and said that “Trump has proven the power of these ideas.”
Spencer described his movement as an “intellectual vanguard that can complete Trump.” Trump called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” in December, but later walked that proposal back, calling for “extreme vetting” of immigrants from certain Muslim-majority countries.
In response to a question from The Intercept, Spencer said that undocumented immigrants and their children “have got to go home. And they can go home again, they can connect with their real identity.”

When The Intercept followed up by asking about children of undocumented immigrants who grew up in the U.S., Spencer insisted that even they had a “real identity” that was other than American. “Reconnecting with who you really are for a Mexican-American would be about being in Mexico. For an African, it would be about being in Africa.”

Jared Taylor, a longtime white supremacist author and publisher, called Muslim immigration a disease. “It’s amazing that these leftists want this disease coming into society more than they want to protect themselves,” he said.
Trump’s election has led to an explosion in anti-black, anti-immigrant, and anti-Muslim, intimidation and violence. Swasitka graffiti has been reported on billboards, and in parks, public transit, and schools all across the country.
When asked to respond to these incidents, Spencer downplayed the incidents, saying “I imagine that a lot of those might be hoaxes,” he said.
He added: “I think we mostly condemn any direct threat of violence.”
White supremacists have seized on Trump’s election to take their message to the masses. Discussions of how to take that message “mainstream” dominated Saturday’s event, which was held just blocks from the White House, and was sponsored by Spencer’s group, the National Policy Institute — a leading peddler of “academic racism,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
White nationalist leaders have also celebrated the appointment of Steve Bannon — the executive chairman of Breitbart News — as the White House’s chief strategist and senior counselor. Bannon has boasted that his news site — which spread “birther” conspiracies about President Obama — is a “platform for the alt-right.”
Spencer downplayed any direct connection the group may have to Trump or Bannon, but he also said that their message will be better received by a Trump administration. “We have a psychic connection,” said Spencer, “a deeper connection with Donald Trump than with other Republicans.”
The New York Times reported that later in the evening, Spencer quoted Nazi propaganda in German, and said “America was, until this last generation, a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity. It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.”
Throughout the day, a crowd of protestors circled the building, chanting “No Donald Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA.”
Spencer also defended Trump’s “grab-them-by-the-pussy” comments about women, saying “Women, deep down, do want to be taken by a strong man.” The line met with vigorous applause from the mostly male audience. The protagonists in romance novels tend to be physically strong, “like cowboys and vikings,” Spencer said, as opposed to “boring computer programmers.”
Kevin MacDonald, a leading anti-semite described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “the Neo-Nazi’s favorite academic,” agreed with Spencer about Trump. “If he comes on to women, I would say most women would probably like that.”

I want to see an uptick in European immigration to US.
So what?
Yawn
This is controlled opposition
Nobody on the right has ever heard of this person. He has no following and is likely taking money from Soros or similar communist agitators
Donald Trump is a repulsive, vindictive, overgrown child who needs constant affirmation that he’s super awesome. No, I would NOT like it if he came on to me, Mr Spencer. And characterizing him as a “strong man” like a cowboy or viking in a romance novel is hysterical. Seriously? A more fitting literary comparison would be Joffrey Lannister. lol
It is incredible how much understanding and insight those withe supremacist guys have about the life experience, the psyche and the will of people of ethnicity, religion and nationalities other than their own. It is almost like they aren’t narrow-minded, obtuse and irrational extremists with a very biased and egocentric view of the world.
“most women would probably like that”
Wtf… I am a woman and HELL to the NO. If he touched me I would definitely let the world know that he touched me non-consensually. All of my female friends feel the same way. Also pretty absurd to suggest that most women regardless of age would like this 70-year-old geezer touching them.
Come on, guys. Stop repeating that it was “just a few blocks from the White House.” The location of the meeting was Friendship Heights, which is like 50 blocks from the White House. I keep getting confused when I read that it was at Maggiano’s and then I read that it was “a few blocks from the White House.” Like they had two locations for the meeting? No, I don’t think so. Relatedly, Trump’s hotel isn’t “right next to the White House,” but 5 blocks away. I know Washington D.C. just consists of 5 buildings in the minds of the rest of the country, but it get a clue – people actually live here, disenfranchised people who have no votes in Congress but pay taxes.
It would be illuminating to know what if any links there are between Spencer (or other white nationalists) & Bannon or Sessions besides ideology. Meaning, have they ever appeared at or funded conferences such as this recent one with Spencer?
Also, we need an accurate history of the Trump family & the KKK and any instances of DT supporting them or neo-Nazis versus rumors of such.
So, let me get this straight – they complain about “political correctness”, but prefer using the nomenclature of “non-European” instead of simply “non-white”? I do sometimes think that the only difference between a fascist and a crypto-fascist is merely that the latter actually manages to be generally even more spineless and hypocritical than the former.
Sorry, but the racists already got to have their whites-only immigration policies – the Chinese Exclusion Act, other bans on all Asian immigrants, restrictions on Mexican immigrants, restrictions on Jews, limits on other Europeans who weren’t white enough for their standards at the time, restrictions on Latin Americans fleeing US-sponsored wars in their countries (Cubans didn’t count, of course.) No more.
they can take their lily-white asses back to Europe
the indians were here first
Oh my you must be a social justice warrior. Lol. Visit infowars. Daily stormer.for the latest news and gossip. You’ll trigger. You’ll be enlightened
You will discover that those white nationalists are now mainstream trumpeffect. And will not be going back in the box so easily . Your fault unrealistic views of the boomerang effect the vile racial identity politics lefties have engaging in for years have had on whites and other civic nationalists. All this virtue signaling and entrenched victimhood narrative. Vile Marxist cultural bandits.
“Trump’s election has led to an explosion in anti-black, anti-immigrant,…”

I stopped reading after following the link to the SPLC, itself a hateful organization.
Too bad to see The Intercept publish blatant propaganda.
Well Donald you get what you deserve !!
Supremacists are already dreaming of the Nazi-flag flying over the White House….
I wish we would not report on these lunatics. Let them go away with no fame.
Of course, the left is going to do this. At last count, the ENTIRE so called “white supremacist” movement, from the KKK to Stormfront, numbers about 60000 nationwide. That’s less than 1/10th of 1% of Trump’s voter base. But those writing columns such as this would have you believe it’s half the goddamn country, and scare everyone to death. These “alt.right” hate groups will get as much attention from the Trump administration as they deserve – zero.
He was seeking truth from a farmer on a hill. He became lost. His life fell apart. His thoughts… caught in false starts, were perpetually fraught with darkness and dog shit.
“I think we mostly condemn any direct threat of violence.”
That’s statement is impressively equivocal! You THINK you MOSTLY condemn any direct threat of violence? As in you don’t know for sure that you do, and off the top of your head you can think of at least a few situations where you don’t?
Wow. Just wow.
Right. This was the one sentence I was about to comment on myself, for the exact same reason. There’s at least three qualifiers in that make his statement utterly meaningless. Especially the word “direct.”
“White males”? Meaning who?
German-Polish-Irish? Everyone lighter than your average cup of coffee?
F. off already. All I see is a dumb heinie. “One a hun always a hun.”
Mr. Trump’s election has shattered a myth. It has allowed closet supremacists to come out in the open. This has been a service to humanity – shattering the myth of American exceptionalism.
We can no longer look across the water and say – look at those supremacists! We don’t need to. Just look outside your window.
Black Panthers can wield clubs and deny voter rights, and the US Govt thinks it is OK? A White Nationalist is NOT a White Supremacist as the “Fake News” outlets let on. The 0Bama administration has been the most racial divisive Govt in my long lifetime!
Who was unable to vote because of Black Panthers? I watched the video from 2008 you’re talking about and there was no evidence of anything like you’re apparently lying about.
Anyways, White Supremacists or White Nationalists, who cares. My grandfather didn’t crawl through the grime and muck of Europe killing NAZIs so they could come to power here. And you can believe that.
If your grandpa saw open borders same sex marriage tranny heroes black open hatred for whites the destruction of the family unit of his time Blm marches .3000 black deaths in Chicago in one year. What would Granby say if he saw the waves of porn. Or he saw the ruins of Detroit Baltimore etc.. Know what I think? If Granby saw all he would have laid down his rifle. Your drama moves are dictated by your Hollywood upbringing lol
Black Panthers are not saying that we should send white people back to Europe. The Black Panthers don’t have a history of oppressing a whole group of people. You can’t compare the two. Willful ignorance is no defense. Furthermore, it was one guy with one club. This is not something that’s happening all over the country and regularly.
The racist panthers would surely oppress in mass if they had the numbers give me a break!
No they wouldn’t. You should do some independent research and turn off Hannity for a second. Do remember that the Black Panthers came about as a reaction. They’re the black version of the kkk. And you say “if they had the numbers”. They don’t. So why even talk about them? They’re irrelevant. The supremacists like the ones who speak passionately about Drumpf have the financial and political backing… EVEN IF THE ONES BACKING THEM DON’T JUST COME OUT AND SAY IT. WE SEE THE SIGNS.
Correction: They’re *NOT the black version of the kkk.
…”the black version of the kkk”?….the Black Panthers?
hummm….cannot remember an incident when the Black Panthers were hanging men from trees, using castration against the white, race, preventing qualified voters from voting, burning crosses on lawns as an act of terror…..and the list goes on and on….
….musta missed that stuff….
http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2016/11/05/was-2008-black-panther-incident-voter-intimidation.cnn
I meant “not”.
>>> They’re the black version of the kkk. And you say “if they had the numbers”. They don’t. So why even talk about them? They’re irrelevant. <<<
Damn you're dumb. Do you know anything about Obama and the Panthers that did NOT come from MSM?
The Black Panthers openly suppressed and intimidated voters. And note, the videos showing “heil Trump” are missing one thing, Trump. You can’t stop people from supporting you, just like the black lives matter group can’t stop people from chanting ,”What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now!” Trump does need to denounce these people immediately. I’m sure he is just trying to not give them credibility.
What a foolish comment. Donald Drumpf actually tweeted Nazi troops in his propaganda. Nothing else matters.
First, those weren’t The Black Panthers you’re so desperate for them to be. This was the NBPP who are known as an illegitimate imitation of the BPP. The BPP has made it publicly known that the NBPP doesn’t represent and are affiliated with the original party. Secondly, that was proven to be false – so keep lying to make yourself feel better POS. (http://www.snopes.com/black-lives-matter-protesters-chant-for-dead-cops-now-in-baton-rouge/)
Honestly, this article is nothing but fear-mongering. This white supremacist conference had all of 275 attendees. And those Nazi salutes that are front page news? Looks like maybe 2 or 3 people saluting. Why is the media building up a less than marginal group and giving them publicity? Do you honestly believe that their agenda will be served by Trump? If you do, I just feel sorry for you. (Not saying that Trump won’t come down hard on so-called illegal immigrants or “un-vetted” Muslim visitors/immigrants, but that is not this. And for what it is worth, I am not a Trump supporter and strongly disagree with his immigrant/Muslim platform.) Do you realize that Trump’s son-in-law and close advisor, Jared Kushner, is a practicing Orthodox Jew and that Trump’s daughter is a convert to Judaism? Stop crying “wolf” and get on with real news.
Yes. And I don’t need sorrow.
Lisa, you may have something here…I mean why get upset by “maybe 2 or 3 people saluting”? Who knows maybe they were just waiving flies away from their faces, trying to get a friend’s attention…what other possible reason could there be for holding their hands up in the air? And, only, just only, 275 attendees….if there were more white supremacists around then they would have been there, right? (oh!…sorry for the play on words!) And, Lisa, you are late to the party…we all know Mr. and Mrs. Kushner are practicing Orthodox Jews…..but if they keep behaving the way they have been, they may be thrown out of the club by other Jews who take exception to white supremacists gaining access to the White House.
Actually at least 7 people were caught on video doing the Nazi salute during his speech and Tila Tequila posted a photo of herself with two white guys doing it at this same event. So that’s like 10 people right there, let alone those who didn’t make it on camera. Spencer also not only didn’t condemn it when questioned about it, but defended and basically encouraged it while giving up a cover up story claiming they were just “throwing [Nazism] back in people’s faces” for some incomprehensible reason and being “ironic.” There’s no irony in promoting Nazism. Yes, I too am a bit disturbed by how much attention the media is giving this idiot. At the same time, Trump refuses to denounce them in anything but the most gentle terms imaginable – which comes across as more than fake. He loves their “loyalty” to him because the only thing that matters to him is his own power. Of course he’s never going to seriously denounce them. He will far sooner complain about black people giving a gentle speech to his vice president expressing dissent in the kindest possible terms. He likes anyone who supports him and feeds his power and dislikes anyone who doesn’t. What’s scary is Trump isn’t denouncing them, and it’s clear that he is therefore encouraging them. They are on his side, and therefore he is on theirs. It’s not considered acceptable at this point in time to support them, but who knows, by the end of 4 years he may well be openly supporting them if it’s convenient to him at the time.
Anyway, this is not a white nation. Also wonder what the hell this idiot thinks of racially mixed people. I am half-white and half-Asian, and they are probably going to tell me I’m impure and should “go back to China.” Just idiots. The Chinese would tell me the opposite – you’re only half-Chinese, you can’t be a Chinese national. Welcome to Nazi America! Did you know the Nazis were actually inspired by American eugenicists?
Everyone here has a “real identity” unless you’re a Native American. So that means we can start by scrapping that pipeline bullshit. We live in a nation of immigrants. So… ok everybody let’s all just pack up and go “home”.
Mr. Spencer appears to be gay. I wonder if he notices any irony in espousing opinions similar in form to those of the Nazis who infamously persecuted and massacred homosexuals.
Mr. Emmons: Very informative article – well done! Keep shining a light on Trump and his potential krew: we need to know these arsehols if we are to deal with them.. I’m learning a lot about them – none of it good!
Word of advice: as you watch this shit-show carefully, be sure to keep the Gravol handy – you’ll need it. ;-)
I agree!
While Alex and the MSM are giving theses people coverage and building them up, Trump is moving to Make America Great Again.

Yeah, but can she cook?
I wonder how long before ethnic cleansing becomes the official policy of Trump’s USA.
It depends on how long those commies continue to riot and burn.
My guns are clean, oiled, and ready.
For your sake I hope you don’t learn the hard way that firearm ownership is considered very important by “commies”.
Looking forward to it.
Just keep rioting and burning. Sooner or later, you’ll find out what combat hardened vets think of them, too.
Careful, gun ownership is very important to commies. There can’t be a workers revolution without an armed proletariat.
>>> There can’t be a workers revolution without an armed proletariat.<<<
There can't be communism without a dictatorship ruling over the proletariat, either…
Who said that? Karl Marx, himself.
No, he championed a dictatorship OF the proletariat. Nice try twisting his words.
Yea I’m zeroed in fo sure!
None of you.
So you’re saying the protests are keep ethnic cleansing policies away? Good. And why are your guns “oiled and ready”? None of you want to see blood. At all.
“Ethnic cleansing”??? You must be a cult member.
Just keep rioting and burning. Sooner or later, you’ll find out what combat hardened vets think of those cult members, too.
I certainly would love to see. You watch too many movies, Rambo. You hide behind the computer and express yourself in anonymity. I’m in the streets speaking out against injustice. And the term ethnic cleansing did not come from a cult. Read a book. You’re just like the other misinformed clowns who spew pointlessness constantly.
Seriously get off whatever bullshit news site you’re getting this from. I live in Oakland, where all of this “rioting” is going on, like 4 windows were broken, downtown Oakland is fine, you’re being fed propaganda and you’re eating it right up because it tells you what you want to hear.
And there you have it. It’s never been about immigration per se, it’s about immigration of non-whites,legal or otherwise. If 1 million Swedes were illegally immigrating to the US, there wouldn’t be any issues at all.
Or Canadians. Which is a thing…
Right up the war criminial that is the nsa’s alley, considering they force me to envisage mental images of people’s children and spouses seemingly near my groin area in a pathetic and cowardly way to try and intimidate me into not reading these articles. I feel bad for all of the white supremacist cowards’ children and grandchildren, who are included in the group of beings, objects, pictures, and things that I will never, EVER “grab by the pussy”. One term for jingo douchebag racist coward dt, not two. Plenty scary already.
>>> considering they force me to envisage mental images of people’s children and spouses seemingly near my groin area in a pathetic and cowardly way to try and intimidate me <<<
Yup, you gotta watch out for those teeth, pedophile.
This is gonna Podesta Pizza Eaters and Topping vs The Terminators
And Black Supremacist groups (Nation of Islam, Black Panthers) celebrated when Obama was elected, so… is a president characterized by 1% of voters?
All you fascists bound to lose.
Who is going to engage in combat for you?
Great point!
Not at all. It’s a pretty dumb comparison. Or did you hear obama appeal to racist “values” during his campaign? I don’t think so.
Actually, the Nation of Islam endorsed Drumpf because they hate Jews just as much as he does. Research, people! Come on!
Nazis R Us… nation run by a criminal class.
I honestly dont know why anyone cares about this. People axtually seemed surprised this is going down like this. We let fanatics run gov,’t and somehow dont expect this outcome.
That’s because the fanatics are still in charge… Until January.
Hey, Mr. Emmons, would you or someone else with integrity there please write about this situation:
WATCH: Dakota pipeline protesters sprayed with water cannons in freezing cold, 167 injured in police crackdown (Ben Norton article)
If the Intercept would seriously, comprehensively and prolifically address the Obama administration’s outrageous support for police racism and oppression particularly in Dakota, as well as addressing the incoming administration’s bigots, it would be appreciated. The protesters need all the support from alternative media that can get, and right now.
Please pursue this vigorously. This is not Trump, this is Obama, right now.
About the second video, I’m wondering if the conclusion could be that a white american (anglo/german/ irish/italian-american) should reconnect with they identities going to Europe? :/
Oh, really?
Perhaps some do, but I doubt very much if their fantasy dom is a confused whale like Donald Trump or a dead-eyed racist dickhead like Spencer. It wasn’t “50 Shades of Blubber” or “The Story of Eww.” I dare say many women voted for Trump expecting a strong leader, but bringing up a phony sexual component is as gross as that time Christopher Hitchens tried to sex up Margaret Thatcher as a dominatrix. Eww. Just eww.
The problem is that the elite left is just as racist as this guy, but their racism is directed at white males. This is the choice that’s required of white men in America right now- either hate yourself or hate everyone else.
The shame is that the need for food and shelter doesn’t change with race. The reasons to unite far outweigh the reasons to divide. Modern “progressivism” in the West teaches that there is only so much privilege to go around, so everyone must stratify into a trillion powerless splinter groups and fight each other for scraps that fall from the masters table, the master being the White Male.
that’s a pretty neat trick, if you think about it. Trick the populace into fighting each other so they won’t challenge the government. The tactic the State uses in prisons on a National scale, and it’s the brain child and overriding goal of the racist elite left. And they are so committed to this that they still can’t figure out how they lost the support of virtually every “white” ethnicity and turned a map of America red to their complete surprise.
The Intercept, like every other racism influenced journalism outlet, seeks only to divide on issues of race. They are every bit as racist as NYT, and the bigotry of some of the authors (like Murtaza Hussein, who has launched into a continual anti-white male tirade since Trump won the presidency, some of his tweets so disturbingly racist that even he realized it and deleted them) Political pragmatism be damned.
Everyone in America is getting screwed, and all the elite left has to do is acknowledge that white people face the same forces as everyone else, or at least pretend that they do, in order to forge an alliance capable of actually challenging the authoritarian turn our government has taken.
They won’t do it. They would rather die and take everyone else down with them.
White Nationalism has got nothing on modern progressivism when it comes to deep and unyielding racial hate. The “progressive” left has it in their heads that they are at war with white males, that white males stand between humanity and a glorious new dawn, and all they are concerned with is fighting their way through to that dawn.
but they aren’t racist. at least if you ask them.
I believe the ‘elite left’ and the ‘elite right’ are ultimately unified and both contribute to the divide and conquer situation you describe, because they don’t want the common people to look up and challenge the ruling class en masse. That is, the establishment left and the establishment right *both* encourage their little people in the masses to judge against white males on the one side and minority groups on the other, so that no unity exists in the impoverished populace to challenge corruption – but only a blaming of another group from the ranks of our peers.
So I think both the left and the right propagandists have to be honest and stop all this “white males are so and so” and “all Muslims are so and so” and realize, as you say, that it’s the authoritarian turn of government over the last few decades that is the common enemy, one that uses political theater in this cynical way to distract from its criminality and immorality.
You have to STFU. You really went on a trigger-rampage about being a White man in America as if you were the ultimate victim and not the biggest beneficiary & for centuries!
“that’s a pretty neat trick, if you think about it.”
Your group would know, you’ve been doing it to minorities for centuries. You might want to research examples like “How the Irish became White”. It wasn’t just with the Irish, but the Italians too. Oh, and “Model Minority”.
Talking about racism goes not equal racism. Stop that nonsense. And yes, people have been taking things overboard.
“They won’t do it. They would rather die and take everyone else down with them.”
Who are they? I hope that you aren’t talking about minorities when the right has been propagandizing “Diversity=White Genocide”? When the right is propagandizing how everything that isn’t white male centric is inherently destructive?
“White Nationalism has got nothing on modern progressivem” So Hitler and concentration camps to purity the race, the Apartheid, the Native genocides in America, Canada, Australia, etc. beats out the movement of exploring diversity in your eyes? “The left is at war with White Men” if only you’ll can admit the White Men have been at war with the entire fucking world. The “Left” are rebelling against conditions set by mainly white men and suddenly it is war? If that is your logic that you have to admit that you are not the victim that you claim to be.
That is certainly one of the best dressed Neanderthals that I have ever seen.
The appeal of those monkey suits to the exploitive class remains an utter mystery to me. I mean, we’re talking about ugly, flat, plain material that, just as in this case, is wrinkled up in an unflattering way as he holds the microphone, set off by the typical ridiculous-looking croatian cravat, and some other plain looking shirt under, all flimsy, prone to show dirt, impractical to wash, and yet, despite all the flaws, overpriced beyond the better-made fabrics any normal person wears given the chance. The bizarre demand of this stuff over their herd mentality is like some kind of divine, inexplicable punishment inflicted on the exploitive class for their lack of sense. The only thing worse are those disgusting facial oils and impractical shoes that women intimidate one another into using.
Good one.
LMAO!!!
