yeah but all these minority organizations we have nowadays are in some senses necessary for the maintenance of equal rights

White moderates like myself and I'd guess the majority of this board are really good at just sitting back and going with the flow (see MLKjr quote about danger of moderates vs. extremists) because we're ultimately okay and have little stake in social affairs such as these.

Minority groups, on the other hand, are always at risk of discrimination/persecution by these far right extremists like Spencer - or even some well-intended institutional cases, and certainly some not-so-well-intended - and staying organized together helps fight that and keep voices heard. For us white people to claim that we need that same right is absurd and insulting.

Look, I'm white. Politically, I'm somewhere between conservative and libertarian. But most of my friends are some shade of brown (their words, haha; black, Indian, etc.), and life for them isn't always the comperative cakewalk that it is for me. I know it's not popular to go around saying that in majority-white circles, but it's the truth. And allowing Richard Spencer to come and spew his offensive nonsense at Auburn would, at very best, just continue to perpetuate white willful ignorance.
