My Take
Jared Taylor is one of those figures whose biography surprises me before his views ever do. Born in Kobe in 1951 and a Yale graduate, he became the founder and editor of American Renaissance, a publication that has made him a central voice in white nationalist circles. I find him uncomfortable to write about, because the polish of his background sits so strangely against the politics he promotes. I don't admire what he stands for, but I think it's worth being clear-eyed: he's an articulate propagandist, not a fringe crank, which is precisely why his ideas deserve scrutiny rather than dismissal.
Overview
Samuel Jared Taylor (born September 15, 1951) is an American white supremacist and editor of American Renaissance, an online magazine espousing such opinions, which was founded by Taylor in 1990. He is also the president of American Renaissance's parent organization, New Century Foundation, through which many of his books have been published.
