Alt-right is a loosely defined umbrella term that includes white supremacists and white nationalists. Their emphasis is on preserving and protecting the white race in the United States and has been described as a mix of racism, white nationalism and populism. They've been associated with online harassment and hate memes. 。
Spencer was invited to speak at A&M University by a local white nationalist, Preston Wiginton, who rented the room. The school, which made it clear they it didn't invite Spencer, said it nonetheless had no rights to deny him to speak. 。
His appearance drew protests inside and outside the room. As Spencer took the stage, only two dozen of the 400 people present stood and applauded, while the rest hissed, according to reports.。
Thanks for signing up! 。
"At the end of the day, America belongs to white men," Spencer said, calling for white people to "embrace their race" and retake control of America.。
At one point, a clown holding a sign "He's the real Bozo" started walking around the stage.。
