WASHINGTON — The 150-plus white men who gathered on Halloween to discuss their shared European heritage and identity insisted they don’t think they’re better than other races.

They’re simply different, they said. They’re “white advocates” and “identitarians.” “Racial idealists” or “racial communitarians.” The label “white supremacists,” to them, is a political “scare term” created by liberals and groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center to undercut “legitimate” white interests.

The conference, called “Become Who We Are,” invited other white people to gain this race consciousness so their revolution can move off Twitter, blogs and online journals and into the mainstream. Discussion topics included “The Origins of the White Man,” “The Tragedy of Southern Identity” and “Why We Will Win.”

“There’s something radical about actually being public and talking about these views seriously,” said Richard Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute, which organized the conference. “There’s a tendency in our movement to embrace the fringe — we want to be alienated from society, we want not to be taken seriously.”

“We’re trying to make this a sensible position that all white people need to think about,” he said.

Nonetheless, conference attendees wore name tags that revealed only their first names.
