Un nationaliste blanc suscite la controverse à l'Université de la Floride

Le discours de Richard Spencer, un nationaliste blanc, à l'Université de la Floride a attiré bon nombre de manifestants et forcé le déploiement de nombreuses mesures de sécurité. Spencer a insisté sur la nécessité de protéger la liberté d'expression. Il n'a cependant rien dit sur les limites de cette même liberté...

 "Inside the heavily secured performing arts center where the white nationalist is scheduled to speak, Spencer answered questions at an often contentious news conference. He said it was “absolutely right” that the university and state expected to spend more than $600,000 on security for his event. “This is the free speech issue of our day.”

Asked whether he was a racist, he said he was not a racist in a “cartoonish” sense but that “Yes, race is real, race matters and race is the foundation of identity.”

Eight-hundred tickets were handed out for the event but the lower level of the auditorium looked to be only about half filled moments before Spencer began his speech. A theater manager said there were about 400 people inside, including media."
