White nationalist Spencer 'asked black staff member for help' during row at gym

Oh the delicious irony of it all.......he begged a black woman to protect his ass......

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/22/white-nationalist-asked-black-staff-member-help-row-gym/

ichard Spencer, leader of the so-called 'alt-right' movement in the US, has had his gym membership revoked following a row with a university professor who confronted him over his views.

Mr Spencer is president of the National Policy Institute, a non-profit group which promotes the white nationalist movement, and he has in the past called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing.”

Christine Fair, an associate professor at Georgetown University, recently spotted Mr Spencer while working out at the gym in Alexandria, Virginia.

She approached him and challenged him, at which point, she says, Spencer appealed for a gym employee - a black woman - to come to his aid.

In a Tumblr post describing the incident Dr Fair wrote: "When I approached this flaccid, sorry excuse of a man and asked ‘Are you Richard Spencer,' this pendulous poltroon said 'No. I am not.' But of course he was."

Ms Fair says she then "exploited the full range of my first amendment entitlements by telling him that this country does not belong to white men," after which Spencer "requested one of the African American Female Trainers to help him escape from my confronting him."

A Word document called “Selfish,” which was found on Adam’s computer, gives an explanation of why females are inherently selfish, written while one of them was accommodating him in every possible way.

Sounds like one of those over-privileged man-children who have so much capital yet they think people 'lesser' than them are out to get them while at the same time these 'lessers' prop these people up, sort of like how Richard Spencer gets his money from poor black cotton farmers so he doesn't have to do any real work in his life. Typical "alt-right" thinking.

Lanza just put the beliefs he had into action, something a lot of these people will not do (Hopefully). Hence, they are the Wannabes.

Seems like a stretch to discount his mental illness. It's his mental illness that should have prevented his access to firearms. Not his dogma.

But ok.

Peace.

What he did was senseless, I don't doubt that, kind of senseless like how being propped up by poor black men and women your whole life to such a degree that you will never have to do any manual labor at any point in your life but hating them so much for no reason.

And honestly, "alt-right" is their term for them, I'm just using another term for them, not of their creation. This is the first step in taking away their power.

Total submission by that racist.

He asked a black woman for protection from a white woman who was attacking him with .... words. How weak.

How embarrassing for him.
