Jared Taylor

Samuel Jared Taylor (born 1951) of Oakton, Virginia, is an American journalist and an advocate of racial realism, an ideology that believes that race is a biological reality and advocates the separateness of racial groups as the key of a well-functioning society. He is known for his advocacy of racial profiling as a valid technique in crime fighting and for his role as a relatively moderate voice in the American white nationalist environment.

Taylor is the founder and editor of American Renaissance, a journal that describes itself as "America's premiere publication of racial-realist thought." He is the president of the parent organization, New Century Foundation, and 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 civil rights groups, news media and academics studying racism in the US. He rejects these accusations himself, saying that his views are reasonable and moderate.
