The much more serious roadblock to the emergence of white identity politics: more Jews don’t want it to happen than do want it to happen.
In 1991, Jared Taylor published Paved with Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in Contemporary America, a sober book that sold well by the standards of serious nonfiction. Since then, he has built American Renaissance into a successful magazine and a brand name. You might think that commercial publishers would be interested in his important, just-published, follow-up White Identity: Racial Consciousness in the 21st Century. You would be naïve.
In the Acknowledgments to his sequel, Taylor writes:
“Finally, I would like to thank Theron Raines and Paul Zack, literary agents who tried very hard to find a publisher for this book but failed. Mr. Raines gave up after two years, and Mr. Zack after a year and a half. I have lost count of the number of rejection letters they gathered from well-regarded publishing houses, but can only conclude from their lack of success that this book is unfit for commercial publication in the United States.”<snip>
And Taylor is certainly adept at shining a spotlight through today’s pervasive mental fog. As he explains in his lucid prose:
“This book is about racial identity, something most people who are not white take for granted. They come to it early, feel it strongly, and make no apologies for it.”
