White nationalist leader Richard Spencer gave Israel as an example of an “ethno-state” he aspires to create in the United States during a controversial speech at the University of Florida on Thursday. Hundreds protested Spencer’s presence outside the auditorium.
“The Jewish state of Israel is not just another country in the Middle East. It is a country for Jews around the world,” he said. The audience booed at the mention of Israel.

Spencer also mentioned Poland, Russia and Hungary as “European states that want to uphold their identities,” saying that he doesn’t “want the world to be an undifferentiated mass of individuals going shopping in a global economy.”
He said that, “like Jews in the 19th century had an ideal of Zionism,” he and his compatriots have a dream of a white American “ethno-state.”
Hundreds of people protested Spencer’s presence outside the building with signs and anti-Nazi chants. Police officers stood outside the UF Phillips Center for the Performing Arts to prevent violence, while protesters shouted, “Not in our town! Not in our state! We don’t want your Nazi hate!”
Spencer resorted to baiting the audience in the half-empty auditorium as they chanted loudly, “go home Spencer, go home!” and the speech quickly descended into a shouting match as Spencer and his audience traded insults.
To the boos and chants and jeers, he yelled defiantly “I’m not going home!” He bemoaned the oppression he said he experienced in Charlottesville, where he said “free speech was stifled.”
“You can’t shut any of us up. No one can hear you. The whole world is watching this. They don’t hear anything you are saying. All they hear is a bunch of shrieking and grunting morons. That’s not an argument,” Spencer shouted.
“Within all of you is a hidden doubt about the system you are experiencing, about a system that isn’t just anti-white, a system that is against all identities,” he said.
As the crowd chanted “Black Lives Matter!” he chuckled, “consider the absurdity of yelling this at me.”
“You aren’t speaking. You are trying to create a mob that will shut down free speech are you adults, are you ready to speak for yourself. You all look like pre-schoolers who aren’t ready for ideas that might get a little challenging,” Spencer said.
The school estimates it is spending $600,000 on security to ensure no repeat of violent clashes connected to a white nationalist gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left one dead in August.
UF cited the Charlottesville violence in rejecting an initial request from Spencer to speak at the university, but later relented on free speech grounds. Florida’s governor declared a state of emergency for the event.
Andrew Anglin, the American blogger who runs the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website, has called on followers who are unable to attend Spencer’s speech in Florida to target Jewish and African-American institutions, the Anti-Defamation League said.
According to the ADL, Anglin provided his white supremacist supporters with the addresses of the Chabad Jewish Center, the Institute of Black Culture and other locations in Florida and suggested they hold “flash demos” there, similar to the brief rally Spencer led in Charlottesville earlier this month.
Chabad director Rabbi Berl Goldman said that dozens of Jewish students, parents and staff members had contacted him with worries regarding the event.

What the hell is wrong with this country?
Spencer seems to speak truthfully as did David Duke years ago, but the general public is so watered down and brainwashed with PC nonsense they can no longer reason. As Mr. Spencer points out, these crybabies look like butt-hurt juveniles that are unable to argue their point. I guess that’s what public indoctrination does to the mind.
“What the hell is wrong with this country?”
What the hell is wrong with you?
American nationals come in all pigments of skin and to try to mix color with nationalism is a blatant attempt to divide our people.
Tell me, Bud, straight up. Is that Bill of Rights for whites only, indicating that no others have those rights and hence no others are protected from an oligarchy?
Bullshit. The Bill of Rights and the common law are color blind and are the right of every American national, equally, without regard for color of skin. In nationalism there is no race, it denotes the soil you were born from. The Bill of Rights is absolute in its intent. When you denounce another’s right, you denounce your own.
Mr. Spencer is a f#@king shill agitator being paid to divide American nationals by race, just like Black Lives Matter are shill agitators being paid to divide American nationals by race.
I’ll try to make this simple for you. A white man born in South Africa is a South African national. We either allow ourselves to be divided and destroyed, one collective at a time, or we stand together as a people and take back our self governess under the common law Bill of Rights, where everyone has absolute right to do whatever they want as long as they are not infringing another’s right. All equal under the law.
If you think Spencer is your man, go to his camp and stay there.
I gotta agree with Henry here, and as I was reading the article, I kept wondering who was paying this guy to stir up racial hatred by being a white version of Al Sharpton.
The Daily Stormer is mentioned here, and I don’t know if they’re affiliated with “Stormfront” or not, but the latter was exposed as being Zionist shills long ago.
Just remember who profits from seeing Americans fight against each other, and you’ll know who pays for racism.
You should have heard Junior Bush spout his bullshit today! Trying to divide the hell out of us.
Young people don’t remember especially those under 30 and especially even younger. Many many more news outlets existed and there was true journalism with hard hitting questions. Now there are just 6 corporations that control the t.v. radio and print media. Kind of like all the mom and pop convenience stores became just a few top chains. Every manufacturing and service industry business fewer and fewer choices to select and use. What if UPS and Federal Express merge? CVS and Wallgreens? Lowe’s and Home Depot? Radisson and Marriott? Sears and Macy’s? Bank of America and Chase Manhattan. This is globalism! The people on the corporate boards many many liiving outside the United States could care less and actually lobby congress (and have been for years) to make the tax codes confusing so the average person can never start a business! Before 1975 t.v. and a lot of radio went off at midnight for 6 hours and people got a good night’s sleep. And The National Anthem would play to end and start each days programing, Learn and look for the Barcodes ( UPC & EAN) number when making a product purchase and shop wisely. Starting with zero its made in the U.S. or Canada. 690 – 695 made in China. 729 made in Israel. Learn before you shop!
Most people in America feel this way. But not one trustworthy leader. Imagine the nerve of these thieving protestors. Pathetic….and so have we been. Get on the ball and clean America . Have you figured out you can’t vote your way out yet? Not EVER going to happen.
We’ve been lambasted for over 50 years. And Carter allowed the Cubans. And Reagan allowed millions to receive amnesty. You don’t have the right to do this to us. Notice how all websites try to sell the “ kumbyaaaa” Montra. Because they wouldn’t be around if they didn’t.
We’re all niggers if you’re not one the chosen oligarchs or chosen ones. If you think for a second that you’re less of a nigger than the next nigger, you’ve been fooled and it was because your own pride and arrogance hung your own ass out to dry and cheated yourself of freedom and your God given Natural Rights. That’s how the game works. Make you work for ME, while you THINK you work for YOU, you stupid F’g nigger. You’re still their nigger. Don’t be a stupid nigger and sell out what you’ve been given because a commie-joo found a way to appeal to your foolish pride. The joo is counting on it because it’s thought about it longer and with more minds than yours alone.
