Spencer wants a white ethno-state, but he can barely pull off a campus speech.
By Jessica Schulberg and Travis Waldron
Richard Spencer and his band of white nationalist brothers see themselves as part of a superior race destined to create a utopian white ethno-state. But first, their checks have to clear.
Spencer has spent the last several months bullying universities into letting him preach his racist vision to college students. Most recently, he spoke at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The event, which the university tried to counter by courting an appearance from legendary former quarterback Tim Tebow, eventually took place, with Spencer parading onto campus to his own personalized Depeche Mode-heavy playlist.
But in the leadup to his speech, Spencer and his colleagues at the National Policy Institute Spencers white nationalist think tank struggled to complete basic chores required to stage the event, according to hundreds of pages of university emails obtained by HuffPost. They bungled money, forgot appointments, and appear to have failed to read all of their rental contract.

In order to secure a room for the Oct. 19 speech, Spencer was required send a signed rental agreement and a check for $10,564.80 by Oct. 6. NPI executive director Evan McLaren put the contract and the check in the mail that morning, using FedExs same-day delivery service, requiring a university employee to accept the delivery around 10:30 that evening.

(19,199 posts)That's the way to show people how to be personally responsible. I guess that must be a common trait among white, racist, sexist, dullards. Who knew paying your bills would be so difficult?
