Another history revisionist. You might want to read that post before you. Just because you "believe" it doesn't make it true.

They try to devalue it, but it does not work.
The left's use of racism is to attack anyone who disagree's with them, nothing more. And it has lost it's meaning because overused, and inappropriately used. The left perceives my not liking Obama's policies as racism and just can't understand that nothing commits us to having to like everything he does based on skin color. To do so is sheer stupidity.

I don't like what Hillary said she would do. Does that make me sexist? You call blacks who didn't agree with Obama uncle Toms, what do you call women who don't like Hillary?

Paul Gottfried originally created the term, but white nationalist (white supremacist) Richard Spencer is the one that's been using it a lot lately.

Richard Spencer believes that America is being ruined by minorities and wants a "peaceful ethnic cleansing" of America.

You ok? Because you're ranting on about a question no one asked. The question is what is the difference between the right and the alt right?

Peaceful ethnic cleansing? Like gas chambers that have soundproof glass or something?

The mainstream right tends to be more elitist, support multinational policy, military interventionism, and big business. The alt-right is more of a populist, nationalist, and non-interventions (though not always). The mainstream right is beholding to moralistic conservative values. The alt-right is less affected by this, though they aren't in opposition to these views usually.

Not sure, I never did much reading into the details LOL. But Richard Spencer is on record as having said that. He is the creator of the "Alt-Right Movement" term that has been floating around the last few years.

Richard Spencer wants to make America white again. He is a racist and a bad person.

Hard conservatives, aka "the right," are not bad people. Just like most democrats, aka "the left," are not bad people. BUt the extremists on both sides are crazy people.

The alt-right basically consists of those who would have voted for George Wallace in 1968.
