He is the author of ''Shadows of the Rising Sun: A Critical View of the Japanese Miracle'' (1983) ISBN 0-688-02455-6, in which he wrote that Japan was not an appropriate economic or social model for the United States, and criticized the Japanese for excessive preoccupation with their own uniqueness. | |||

On the greater number of non-whites in ] compared with ], Taylor has commented; "Europeans travel a lot within Europe, and they see dark-skinned bums sleeping on the streets on ]. In Denmark they don’t see dark-skinned bums sleeping on the streets, and they are not so stupid as to be unable to understand that immigration has something to do with this."<ref>http://www.amren.com/news/news04/02/27/jtconf2004talk.html</ref> | |||
Taylor first turned to race in ''Paved With Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in Contemporary America'' (1993) ISBN 0-9656383-4-0,<ref></ref> in which he argued that racism is no longer a convincing excuse for high black rates of crime, poverty, and academic failure.

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 it would be to rescue one of his own children from drowning.<ref>http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2007/05/what_we_owe_our.php</ref> | |||

==Praise and criticism== | |||
==Views== | |||
], former ] of the ], has described Taylor as a "a man of immense ability and the courage commensurate and necessary for telling the long-suppressed truths of race."<ref>http://www.davidduke.com/?p=496</ref> | |||
Taylor believes that white people have their own racial interests, and that it is intellectually valid for them to protect these interests; he sees it as anomalous that non-Hispanic whites have allowed people of other races to organize themselves politically while not doing so themselves.<ref>{{Harvnb|Swain|Nieli|2003|pp=87–88}}.</ref> His journal ''American Renaissance'' was founded to provide such a voice for so-called "white interests."<ref>{{Harvnb|Swain|Nieli|2003|p=88}}.</ref> Taylor's beliefs are based on his view that human beings are essentially tribal by nature, and that people are instinctively loyal to those of their own race.{{dubious|date=March 2013}}<!--race and tribes are not the same--!> As a result of this, he believes that societies composed of many ethnic groups cannot be as successful as those that are "racially" homogeneous.<ref name="Swain2003p87" /> | |||
Former associates of Taylor such as former American Renaissance webmaster ] and well-known ] commentator ] (who spoke at the first American Renaissance conference in 1994) have spoken out against Taylor's refusal to condemn anti-semitism. At the ], ] American Renaissance conference, many of the attendees applauded enthusiastically when a speaker said that ] would not survive its first 100 years. In addition to this, David Duke provoked a Jewish participant into walking out of the conference.<ref>http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=1097</ref> Auster responded by saying that Taylor was allowing American Renaissance to be "a home to extreme anti-Semites."<ref>http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/005449.html</ref> | |||
Taylor has summarized the basis for his views in the following terms: | |||
Other critics have described Taylor as a racist and an advocate of ], and have accused him of sympathy to ]. Mark Potok, editor of the ]'s "Intelligence Report", said "Jared Taylor is the cultivated, cosmopolitan face of white supremacy. He is the guy who is providing the intellectual heft, in effect, to modern-day ]."<ref>http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=644&printable=1</ref> | |||
<blockquote>Race is an important aspect of individual and group identity. Of all the fault lines that divide society—language, religion, class, ideology—it is the most prominent and divisive. Race and racial conflict are at the heart of the most serious challenges the Western World faces in the 21st century... Attempts to gloss over the significance of race or even to deny its reality only make problems worse.<ref></ref></blockquote> | |||
==Views on interracial marriage== | |||
He has questioned the capacity of blacks to live successfully in a civilized society. In an article on the chaos in ] after ], Taylor wrote "when blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western Civilization—any kind of civilization—disappears. And in a crisis, civilization disappears overnight."<ref></ref> Taylor believes in a general correlation between ], where blacks are generally less intelligent than whites, and whites are generally less intelligent than East Asians, as expressed in the controversial book '']''. Taylor has said in an interview: | |||
In a speech delivered on 28 May 2005, to a British far right group, Taylor made clear his feelings on the offspring of interracial marriages when he said "I want my grandchildren to look like my grandparents. I don't want them to look like Anwar Sadat or Foo Man Chu or Whoopi Goldberg."<ref>http://www.sovereignty.org.uk/features/articles/demog3.html</ref> | |||
On ], ], Taylor was asked by a ] journalist whether he had ever been involved in an interracial relationship. Peter Duffy of the ] described Taylor's reaction: "That was the only time I saw you rattled; when that TV reporter asked you whether you’d ever had gone out with a person of colour, you were rattled." Taylor said he was merely "annoyed", because he felt that questions about his personal life were beyond the pale. However, several months later in June 2007, Taylor had to defend against allegations of an affair with ] corporate lawyer Yumi Akisada (b. ]) who is currently based in ], Japan. The relationship was alleged to have begun in ], when they were introduced by a mutual friend during one of Taylor's frequent visits to Japan.<ref>http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2007/03/on_the_menu_opp.php#</ref> | |||
<blockquote>I think Asians are objectively superior to Whites by just about any measure that you can come up with in terms of what are the ingredients for a successful society. This doesn't mean that I want America to become Asian. I think every people has a right to be itself, and this becomes clear whether we're talking about ] or ], for that matter.<ref>{{Harvnb|Swain|Nieli|2003|p=102}}.</ref></blockquote> | |||
Taylor has praised the "high average level of attractiveness" of Japanese women, saying few resemble the "waddling colossi one finds among the American lower classes of all races."<ref>http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2008/01/in_praise_of_ho.php</ref> | |||
Taylor has made remarks on the growing number of non-whites in ], ] and ]. | |||
Taylor has also given support to ]'s attempts to persuade ] to oppose immigration; he generally approves of Hoppe's work, although he sees the pursuit of a society with no government at all to be "the sort of experiment one might prefer to watch in a foreign country before attempting it oneself".<ref></ref> | |||
In a speech delivered on May 28, 2005, to the British self-determination group, ''Sovereignty'', Taylor said of his personal feelings to interracial marriages, "I want my grandchildren to look like my grandparents. I don't want them to look like ] or ] or ]."<ref></ref> | |||
Taylor is opposed to ]. In his 1983 book ''Shadows of the Rising Sun'', he denounced ] links to ].

Taylor has gone on to say that "people in general if left to themselves will generally sort themselves out by race," and has said that churches, schools, and neighborhoods are examples of this. | |||

Revision as of 17:37, 1 July 2013
Samuel Jared Taylor (b. 1951) of Oakton, Virginia, is an American journalist and an advocate of racialist theories to explain the sociological and economic problems associated with non-whites, particularly blacks, in Western countries. Taylor is the editor of American Renaissance, a journal that addresses issues of race, immigration and their impact on societies in which whites co-exist with non-whites. He is the president of the parent organization, New Century Foundation, and a former director of the National Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank. He is a former member of the advisory board of Occidental Quarterly.
Born to missionary parents in Japan, Taylor lived in that country until he was 16 years old. He graduated from Yale University in 1973 with a BA in Philosophy, and graduated from Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) in 1978 with a MA in International economics. 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.
Works and views
He is the author of Shadows of the Rising Sun: A Critical View of the Japanese Miracle (1983), which among other things argues the distinctiveness of the Japanese as a race as well as a culture; Paved With Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in America (1993), which hypothesizes that multiracialism in the United States is the cause of many of todays social ills; The Tyranny of the New and other Essays (1992); and The Real American Dilemma: Race, Immigration, and the Future of America (1998). He contributed to A Race Against Time: Racial Heresies for the 21st Century, and has contributed to the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and National Review.
Taylor has questioned the capacity of blacks to live successfully in a civilized society. In an article on the chaos in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Taylor wrote "when blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western Civilization—any kind of civilization—disappears. And in a crisis, civilization disappears overnight."
Taylor insists that he espouses a doctrine of race realism. In a 2003 interview with Phil Donahue, Taylor claimed that Central Americans are organizing en masse and invading the rest of North America. He has described himself as a "racialist" and a "white separatist".
Taylor has often expressed great personal distaste over the presence of non-whites in Europe and America. On the greater number of non-whites in Holland compared with Denmark, Taylor has commented; "Europeans travel a lot within Europe, and they see dark-skinned bums sleeping on the streets on Rotterdam. In Denmark they don’t see dark-skinned bums sleeping on the streets, and they are not so stupid as to be unable to understand that immigration has something to do with this."
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 it would be to rescue one of his own children from drowning.
Taylor has argued that American support for Israel is the main reason for the 9-11 terrorist attacks on New York City. Taylor wrote "..they kill us because we support and finance a country they see as having been illegitimately carved out of the very flesh of their Islamic kinsmen."
Praise and criticism
David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, has described Taylor as a "a man of immense ability and the courage commensurate and necessary for telling the long-suppressed truths of race."
Former associates of Taylor such as former American Renaissance webmaster Ian Jobling and well-known paleoconservative commentator Lawrence Auster (who spoke at the first American Renaissance conference in 1994) have spoken out against Taylor's refusal to condemn anti-semitism. At the February, 2006 American Renaissance conference, many of the attendees applauded enthusiastically when a speaker said that Israel would not survive its first 100 years. In addition to this, David Duke provoked a Jewish participant into walking out of the conference. Auster responded by saying that Taylor was allowing American Renaissance to be "a home to extreme anti-Semites."
Other critics have described Taylor as a racist and an advocate of white supremacy, and have accused him of sympathy to Holocaust denial. Mark Potok, editor of the Southern Poverty Law Center's "Intelligence Report", said "Jared Taylor is the cultivated, cosmopolitan face of white supremacy. He is the guy who is providing the intellectual heft, in effect, to modern-day Klansmen."
Views on interracial marriage
In a speech delivered on 28 May 2005, to a British far right group, Taylor made clear his feelings on the offspring of interracial marriages when he said "I want my grandchildren to look like my grandparents. I don't want them to look like Anwar Sadat or Foo Man Chu or Whoopi Goldberg."
On March 8, 2007, Taylor was asked by a Canadian journalist whether he had ever been involved in an interracial relationship. Peter Duffy of the Halifax Chronicle Herald described Taylor's reaction: "That was the only time I saw you rattled; when that TV reporter asked you whether you’d ever had gone out with a person of colour, you were rattled." Taylor said he was merely "annoyed", because he felt that questions about his personal life were beyond the pale. However, several months later in June 2007, Taylor had to defend against allegations of an affair with Japanese-American corporate lawyer Yumi Akisada (b. 1969) who is currently based in Yokohama, Japan. The relationship was alleged to have begun in 1999, when they were introduced by a mutual friend during one of Taylor's frequent visits to Japan.
Taylor has praised the "high average level of attractiveness" of Japanese women, saying few resemble the "waddling colossi one finds among the American lower classes of all races."
