Jared Taylor : biography

1951 –

Samuel Jared Taylor (born 1951) is an American journalist and an advocate of what he describes as "racial realism" . He is a strong critic of what he perceives to be the negative influence of African Americans in the US, saying that when "blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears". http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/profiles/jared-taylor

Taylor is the founder and editor of American Renaissance, a webzine that describes itself as "America’s premiere publication of racial-realist thought". Sources unaffiliated with the magazine have described it as a white supremacist journal which serves as a "forum for writers disparaging the abilities of minorities", a publication of an array of pseudo-scientific studies, and a venue for "proponents of eugenics and anti-black racists".

Taylor strongly opposes interracial marriage, saying that it is a phenomenon that could lead to white ‘extinction’. He has debated the issue with the former National Review writer John Derbyshire, criticizing Derbyshire’s marriage to a Chinese women, as well as his parentage of two biracial children. In the article Taylor clearly stated that he was “not fine with miscegenation.”http://www.vdare.com/articles/race-purists-are-they-slightly-nuts-jared-taylor-responds-to-john-derbyshire

Taylor is opposed to all non-white immigration into Western societies. In January 2005, Taylor reviewed a book by Frank Salter, On Genetic Interests: Family, Ethnicity and Humanity in an Age of Mass Migration, and agreed with Salter that, from a genetic point of view, an Englishman would be better off resisting the immigration of two hypothetical Bantu immigrants, than he would be to rescue one of his own children from drowning.

While Taylor has questioned the extent of the Holocaust http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/007667.html, he has rejected accusations of anti-semitism. However, when publicly asked by an English supporter for his views on the "Jewish question", Taylor agreed that the ‘aggregate impact’ of Jews on Western society had been overwhelmingly negative, but that he generally avoids the issue because his organization, American Renaissance, cannot "afford to be a crank on more than one topic at a time". www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UEsVrVbXKg‎

Taylor is the president of the magazine’s parent organization, New Century Foundation, an organization which according to the Encyclopedia of Right-Wing Extremism in Modern American History has had "some of the most notorious white supremacists in the United States" on its board. He is a former director of the National Policy Institute, a Georgia-based think tank. He is a former member of the advisory board of The Occidental Quarterly. Taylor and many of the organizations he is associated with are often described as promoting racist ideologies by among others, civil rights groups, news media and academics studying racism in the US.". Dennis Roddy. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. January 23, 2005. He rejects these accusations himself, saying that his views are reasonable and moderate.

Early life

Born to missionary parents in Japan,. Taylor lived there until he was 16 years old. His parents were conventional liberals, and so was he until the age of 30. He graduated from Yale University in 1973 with a BA in Philosophy, and did graduate coursework at Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po). He has also worked in west Africa, and has traveled the area extensively. Taylor speaks fluent English, Japanese and French. In the 1980s, Taylor was West Coast editor of PC Magazine and a consultant before founding the American Renaissance periodical in 1990. Taylor has taught Japanese to summer school students at Harvard University.

Holocaust denial

In April 2007, a correspondent asked Taylor, "the myth of the holocaust is a millstone around the neck of any nascent white nationalist movement. Where do you stand on this? Did the Nazis genocidally wipe out 6 million jews or did they not?" Taylor’s one line reply: "I’m not an expert on the subject, and it is not one into which I have looked." Subsequent to this, the late paleoconservative author Lawrence Auster learned of Taylor’s statement on the issue and an Internet debate ensued. Taylor further posted on the Internet that he did not have an opinion on the six million figure, in the same way that he did not know how many people died in the Armenian massacres or how many American soldiers died during World War II. Auster (who has spoken at an American Renaissance conference sponsored by Taylor) and his supporters argued that such a stance was akin to Holocaust denial, and that this was not surprising given Taylor’s close and longstanding friendship with Mark Weber, editor of the Holocaust-denial publication Journal of Historical Review and former editor of the neo-Nazi publication National Vanguard.http://inverted-world.com/index.php/news/news/another_eagle_eyed_white_nationalist_finds_me_out/
