Richard Spencer at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Inside a student center ballroom, Spencer addressed some 400 students聽who had turned out for the event, some in support and some in protest. After a meandering introduction about 鈥渆lective identities鈥� and 鈥渞ooted identities鈥� 鈥� an idea written extensively about by the philosophers of Nazi Germany 鈥� Spencer quickly moved on to the crux of his speech: how white聽people鈥檚 history of聽racist聽domination justifies his white nationalism.

鈥淎merica, at the end of the day, belongs to white men,鈥� Spencer said. 鈥淥ur bones are in the ground. We own it. At the end of the day America can鈥檛 exist without us. We defined it. This country does belong to White people, culturally, politically, socially, everything.鈥�

When a student pointed out that the wealth of America was bound up in the forced labor and oppression of slaves, whose bones are also buried here, Spencer lamely countered that the actual labor force was irrelevant. Somehow, those directing the slave labor that built our country鈥檚 modern infrastructure deserved the credit.

鈥淭he architect is what matters, it鈥檚 the genius behind something, its not just whoever happened to do the labor,鈥� Spencer said.

Students and professors alike spoke up for equality and social justice throughout. One young woman attempted to mock Spencer with farce, dressed as a clown and holding signs ranging from 鈥淲hite Flower鈥� to 鈥淯r A Peein鈥欌�� as Spencer spoke. His only response was to fat shame her, saying: 鈥淪he鈥檚 dancing, perhaps she鈥檒l lose some weight.鈥�

Ironically, Spencer also railed against protestors, saying their constitutionally protected counter-speech came from a need to 鈥渇ill up that void with hatred鈥�.

鈥淧eople I don鈥檛 really have respect for, to be honest, are the kind of gutter punks that spend their life protesting other people,鈥� Spencer said. 鈥淭hat their life is so empty, so meaningless, that they have to fill up that void with hatred of people that actually care about their identity. And I鈥檓 referring to people like you!鈥�

In response, students approached the podium with signs such as 鈥淲e鈥檙e in the USA, not Nazi Germany, Spencer!鈥�

During the question-and-answer session, several students聽defended Spencer's First聽Amendment rights, saying they聽had listened to the entirety of the speech without interrupting, despite disagreeing with his politics. One young woman asked how white people could be considered the best when they have been overtaken economically by Asian and Latino populations. Spencer responded by repeatedly saying, 鈥淲e are not literally being replaced by them," before聽conceding聽that white people are聽failing to prove themselves supreme.聽

鈥淭his is not a wonderful state for the white race at the moment,鈥� Spencer said.

When the student asked for clarification, Spencer merely insisted that it was a 鈥渘on-sequitor鈥� and refused to answer further.聽
