Ok so because one racist editorial board member was hired by New York times the left is collectively racist. I guess that means everyone on the right is a racist to since there are openly racist right wingers, white supremacists and neo-nazis are usually right wingers. So, that's it I guess every right winger is a Nazi.
Leftist policies like affirmative action are inherently racist, as is the very concept of "identity politics." And it is a Leftist bromide, particularly in academia, to claim that "racism is prejudice plus power," making it impossible for minorities to be racist--which is, itself, racist. This is by no means just "one journalist"--it's a running theme throughout the entire doctrine.
And national socialism is a Leftist (i.e., collectivist) ideology. Note that if you take the racism out of Richard Spencer's political advocacy,
you're essentially left with vanilla socialism. National socialists even embrace the Marxist concept of polylogism--they simply differentiate between "race" as opposed to "class" in terms of what separates groups of people. (Note that race-based polylogism is also at the heart of identity politics.)

that makes you glad....why?
As I stated, the Left has historically been quite viciously racist in the ideas and policies they've advocated--they've simply tried to deny or evade this fact when it's pointed out. They're increasingly likely to be open about it now. It is always better when people become more open and honest about what they're advocating.
