7 Times White Supremacy Crept Through the Super Bowl, Thanks to Richard Spencer

Richard Spencer, noted white supremacist, declared his fandom for the New England Patriots after their historic fifth win over the Atlanta Falcons. Completed under the leadership of Donald Trump supporter Tom Brady and ending with a 34-28 score in overtime, Spencer noted his pleasure in what he called "the NFL's whitest team." https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer/status/828450198435295232 Spencer also weighed in on what would have been Trayvon Martin's 22nd birthday. In 2012, the Black teen was shot him to death by George Zimmerman as he walked through a gated Sanford, Fla., neighborhood. https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer/status/828467217775759360 Donald Trump Pepe Frog (@realDonaldTrump/Twitter) Spencer also praised the god of the satirical Church of Kek, which worships the androgynous Egyptian deity named Kek, according to The Daily Wire. The god, represented by a frog-headed man, is described as one who presides over chaos and darkness. https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer/status/828466508116340736 Atlanta Falcons prepare to arrive on field (Georgia National Guard photo by Sgt. Shye Stallings / Released) The white supremacist wondered if Atlanta residents, whom he insulted the intelligence of, would riot over the Falcons losing the big game, which evoked racist ideas about the predominantly Black city. The media frequently presents Black protests as a series of looting and destruction while white riots are explained away due to youth who acted out. This was shown in 2014 when Ferguson, Mo. residents protested the police brutality, while white college students were destroying New Hampshire. https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer/status/828467389222105089 James White (@MassAGO/Twitter) Remarking on Patriots running back James White, Spencer exclaimed the team "even calls their Blacks 'White.'" The National Policy Institute president's message recalled his tweet earlier that night that named the AFC champions "consistently the NFL's whitest team." But James' last name is one of the most common among Black-identifying individuals and has origins in European countries like France, Poland and Germany, according to Ancestry, denoting it's roots in American slavery. https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer/status/828475435352805380 Richard Spencer gives speech when Trump's victory was greeted with Nazi salutes (The Atlantic screen shot) Spencer proclaimed Brady as the "Aryan Avatar," which overtly references his ties to Nazism. During a November alt-right conference in Washington, D.C., Spencer discussed Trump's election win and attendees applauded while making the Nazi salute. The co-editor of AltRight.com's tweet named the quarterback the poster boy for white people, declaring white pride in the process. https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer/status/828447273008955393 Tom Brady (Keith Allison) Spencer also tweeted a GIF of Brady kissing his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen, saying "it's never over" for the white race. His tweet came at a time in the game when the Patriots were playing the Falcons in overtime to win the Super Bowl LI title. https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer/status/828448918509846529
