Possibly not a name that you have heard before, but Richard B Spencer is the man who has been credited for coining the term 'Alt-right' - a term that refers to groups with far right ideologies. He is also the President of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist think-tank.

It was alarming but not as surprising, when some of the audience members of the 200-strong attendees at a recent conference presided by Spencer raised their hands to a Nazi salute and said, "Hail Trump!"

The people in attendance were, however, not robed like the clan members of KKK or looked like the overly aggressive skinheads. They listened to Spencer with rapt attention while he eloquently painted an image of hate against media, which he referred to in German as 'Lügenpresse' meaning 'lying press', against people whose stupidity made him wonder if those "people are people at all" and of course, how every other race depended on the generations of white and not the other way round.

"To be white is to be a striver, a crusader, an explore, and a conquerer. We produce, we go upward, and we recognize the central lie of American race relations. We don’t exploit other groups. We don’t gain anything from their presence. They need us, and not the other way around," he said.

Ever since the victory of Donald Trump at the US Presidential election 2016, the US has been immersed in rhetoric of racism with reports of attacks on people of coloured skin and Muslims, racist graffiti, to name a few.

Here is an excerpt from the speech by Richard Spencer, delivered at NPI annual conference held at Washington, DC, as shared by the magazine The Atlantic.
