For those of you unfamiliar with Jared Taylor he represents the new face of white supremacy. He is the mainstream voice of a movement that has a large following among academic and financial circles.
Jared Taylor is the founder of American Renaissance(http://www.amren.com/). This is a website that links to several "Anti-Immigration" sites as well as others flavors of White Rights Movements. Just check out the posts and comments on this site and you will get a feel for the type of individual involved. There are other people connected to AMREN like Peter Brimelow founder of VDARE and former editor of FORBES, THE FINANCIAL POST & THE NATIONAL REVIEW. On the links page of amren.com one can find various sites revolving around the immigration/white racial theme. Taylor represents the true reason for the anti-immigration movement in America. Fear of a white minority. Anyway, I managed to get an email interview w Taylor while he was abroad in Malaysia. I wrote some follow-ups and have failed to get a response. Taylor has appeared on Morning Joe, Hardball, CNN, Fox News, and various other mainstream news outlets as an " immigration expert". He has managed to fool many on the immigration issue. He is a white supremacist and he comes from the academic/racial studies/intelligence wing of this movement. American News Project (http://newsproject.org/)did a small story on him and others recently. Here is the the link short video entitled LOSING THE RACE
LOSING THE RACE
How did spending the early portion of your life in Asia inform or shape your views on race?
You will no doubt be astonished to hear that it probably had no effect at all. My parents were typical liberals on race, and I did not question their liberalism until I was in my late 20s.
At what point in your life did you become troubled or concerned about America in terms of racial problems?
It was a very gradual, unpleasant process. It is far more preferable to be a liberal, to believe that the world is moving in the right direction, and that one’s opponents are evil people. I clung to liberal views on race as long as possible, but several things combined to make break their grip on me. One was enrolling in graduate school when I was 25 and studying history and economics. (I had studied mostly philosophy and psychology as an undergraduate.)
Another was several lengthy trips to sub-Saharan Africa, where I was struck by what seemed a deep inability of the people to help themselves. Finally, I began to read dissident books on race by authors such as Arthur Jensen and John Baker.
It is very unfashionable to think in racial terms, but the world makes much better sense when one understands that people of different races differ in average intelligence. This explains why African countries remain backward whereas East Asian countries have been successful. It explains why overseas Chinese are so much more successful than the South East Asian people among whom they live. It explains why blacks are at the bottom of the society in the United States, Canada, Britain, and Brazil, despite the fact that the racial histories of those countries are quite different.
How do you reconcile the difference between racism and racialism. Is there a difference?
Whatever the word “racism” may mean, it is profoundly pejorative. To be a “racist” is to be a moral inferior. I completely reject the view that any of my positions on race are anything but well considered and entirely moral.
I would describe my thinking as “race realism,” which can be summarized as follows: (1) Race is an important aspect of individual and group identity. (2) It is entirely natural and healthy to prefer the culture and society created by people of one’s own race, and this is a near-universal phenomenon. (3) Diversity of race, religion, language, etc. leads to conflict and tension, as has long been true in the United States and as Europeans are now discovering. (4) Although the full range of intellectual ability is found in all races, average levels of intelligence are not the same. Intelligence differences, rather than “racism” or “oppression,” explain why certain groups are less successful than others.
There is nothing the least bit “immoral” about these views, and they explain the world we live in far better than do theories of racial egalitarianism and assertions that “diversity is a strength.”
What are your thoughts on the Presidential Election in America and Sen. Barack Obama.?
We currently have a choice between a white candidate who is a war-monger and a black candidate who is essentially a socialist. I cannot support either.
Mr. Obama has made a good effort at giving the impression that he is not a “black” candidate, but his long association with his pastor Jeremiah Wright suggests that he is very much in the mold of blacks who have a chip on their shoulder and believe that whites are responsible for everything that has ever gone wrong for blacks. I suspect he will be the next president, and it will be interesting to see how he balances the interests of more militant blacks with his desire not to be pigeon-holed as a representative of blacks rather than of all Americans.
Mr. Obama has created huge expectations for “change” that it will be impossible to meet. Black rates of unemployment, poverty, and incarceration will not change at all during his presidency, leading to great disappointment among his supporters.
How tuned in to current popular culture are you? What Authors, Music, Sports do you read, listen to, watch?
I despise popular culture and all professional sports.
What media outlets do you use for gaining information on current events and by extension how do you see the media in America?
I spend a great deal of time on the Internet. I read many mainstream web sites such as those of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. The mainstream media are, without exception, prisoners to the view that all races are equal, that diversity is a strength, and that it is possible to build a mult-racial society in which everyone will live in peace. The facts that they constantly report demonstrate that this is fantasy, but the fantasy is so powerful it blinds otherwise intelligent, observant people.
If in your estimation America is heading for a period when white people are no longer a majority what do you propose as a solution to this.
All signs point to whites becoming a minority in about 2050. Although almost no whites dare say so publicly, they do not want to be a minority. They demonstrate their true feelings by moving away when their neighborhoods become heavily black or Hispanic. As more and more non-whites come to America, and as they increase their numbers through rapid breeding, whites will become refugees in their own country, constantly moving to those areas that are still majority white.
Whites are still prepared to chant the mantras of “diversity” but if you ask any white to name a majority-black or –Hispanic neighborhood he would like to live in, he will be unable to do so. And yet, whites are forbidden to oppose immigration policies that are turning ever-greater parts of the country into just the kind of area in which they refuse to live.
Never in history has a dominant people chosen to turn over its territory and institutions to aliens, but that is what American whites are doing. The process is not quite so advanced in Europe, but you, too, are headed in the same direction. We can all look to Zimbabwe and South Africa as the future we are storing up for our grandchildren if we do not stop this process of voluntary dispossession.
The first step and most important step is to stop immigration.
