Woman recounts Richard Spencer’s racist tirades in Germany

A woman claims white supremacist Richard Spencer was widely hated among their fellow classmates while they studied in Germany during the summer of 2006. 

New Zealander Julie Hill recounted her experience with the alt-right movement’s leader Spencer in a column she wrote about the time they spent together in Berlin studying advanced German.

She explained that she was initially drawn to Spencer because he was the only other native English speaker in the class and had offered to help her with the language since he was seemingly well-versed in it.

But it didn’t take long for their affinity to soon dissipate after she moved into a spare room in his student housing due to issues she had with her own roommate. 

‘Richard Spencer stood out like a poo in a punch-bowl,’ Hill wrote.

She recounted how he would make inappropriate jokes about German women being ‘hairy and asexual.’

Hill also said that one night Spencer went on a ‘rant about how Mexicans shouldn’t be allowed into the United States’ and that their discussion turned heated.

‘We fought about this for some time, but trying to argue with Spencer was a lot like repeatedly smashing one’s head into a brick wall, so eventually I gave up and went to bed,’ she wrote.

Hill also claimed that Spencer was widely disliked among their classmates. 

‘In class, he would go off on lengthy, tedious monologues that had even our teacher rolling his eyes,’ Hill wrote.

‘On one occasion, he and I ended up in a stand-up shouting match, during which I had to switch to English because there aren’t enough good swear words in German. 

‘Our class was composed of people of all ages, from all walks of life, and from all parts of the planet, but if there was one thing that united us, it was that we hated Richard Spencer’s guts.’

She also recounted that during ‘one of his unprompted tirades’ he told his classmates about ‘a case going on there in which a stripper had accused three lacrosse players of rape.

‘She was black, they were white, and it was being viewed as a hate crime. 

‘I remember the room falling silent when Spencer suggested that the lacrosse players (who were later found innocent) couldn’t have done it, because why would they want to have sex with a black woman?’

Hill claimed that Spencer 'knew people despised him, but seemed kind of used to it'.  In August Spencer (above) led a protest in Charlottesville, Virginia against the removal of a Confederate state. The event turned violent, leaving 19 injured and one woman dead

Hill claimed that Spencer ‘knew people despised him, but seemed kind of used to it’ and called it ‘tragic’.

‘There is a German word that applies well to Spencer: Backpfeifengesicht. It means ‘a face that is crying out for a slap,’ she wrote. 

Spencer, who founded AlternativeRight.com in 2010 and advocates for a ‘white ethno-state on the North American continent,’ led the tiki torch protest in Charlottesville, Virginia against the removal of a statue of Confederate leader Robert E. Lee in August.

The event turned into violent clashes between white nationalists and counter-protesters that shocked the nation. 

A right-wing protester was charged with murder after a car struck a crowd of left-wing protesters, leaving 19 injured and one woman dead.

Spencer returned to Charlottesville last month in an unannounced tiki torch rally. 

There were no reports of violence at that event where white nationalists shouted ‘The South will rise again; Russia is our friend.’
