Once again, Richard Spencer is getting loads of media coverage because of a protest he led to block the possible removal of a General Robert E. Lee statue in Virginia over the weekend. Spencer still maintains he is not a racist, a claim rapidly approaching childish denial.
Charges of racism should be reserved for actual racists, people who think skin color and culture are inseparable, so that the term actually means something. But when Spencer invokes KKK style imagery by marching with torches in the night and still denies he’s a white supremacist, it does seem like a spurious claim.
