I recommend the media refrain from the use of "alt-right" when reporting on the preparation for the upcoming two right-wing rallies in San Francisco and in Berkeley. We should all stop calling hate-mongers the "alt-right." 

The term "alt-right" is nothing more than a sanitized euphemism for hate-mongering groups like white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis and other such groups who feel that white people are disadvantaged and view other religious and ethnic groups as subhuman.  

“Alt-right" is nothing more than a public-relations device to make its supporters’ actual beliefs less clear and more acceptable to a broader audience. Let's just call these hate-mongers what they are: a hate movement made up of racists, bigots, anti-semites.
