American Renaissance (magazine) American Renaissance (abbreviated AR or AmRen) is a monthly conservative racialist magazine published by the New Century Foundation.[1] The magazine's founder Jared Taylor has been called a white separatist by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[2] HistoryThe magazine and foundation were founded by Jared Taylor, and the first issue was published in November 1990. A main theme of the magazine is a claim that non-white minorities pose a demographic threat to the United States and other Western nations.[citation needed] The magazine argues that the United States' major social problems are due to racial diversity and a weakening of the country's white racial heritage by increased non-white immigration. In the first several years of the magazine's publication, it sought to maintain a mainstream paleoconservative tone. American Renaissance tried to form common ground with conservatives and libertarians by merely opposing affirmative action, quotas, and perceived property rights violations stemming from Civil Rights laws. It garnered praise from many mainstream conservative media outlets, including the National Review and The Wall Street Journal.[1] According to the Anti-Defamation League, the publication was able to maintain credibility by expressing racism only through a coded, academic language.[citation needed] The magazine's arguments are usually explained using social science and genetics, but some issues of AR have featured theological arguments. One argument has been that interracial and inter-cultural marriage is racial suicide and an unequal yoking, and that such unions "go against the very community which marriage is designed to establish."[3] The magazine and foundation promote the view that differences in educational outcomes and per capita incomes between racial populations can be attributed at least in part to differences in intelligence between races. Such has resulted in accusations of white supremacy due to its notions of racial segregation. American Renaissance and the New Century Foundation are alleged to have had links with organizations and individuals such as: the Council of Conservative Citizens, the Pioneer Fund, the British National Party, Don Black and David Duke.[3][4] The organization has held bi-annual conferences that are open to the public and that attract 200 - 300 people. Critics say that some of those who attend are neo-Nazis, white nationalists, white separatists, Ku Klux Klan members, Holocaust deniers and eugenicists (as well as numerous protestors).[5] Taylor has written that the magazine welcomes Jews as writers and conference speakers.[6] Contributors to the magazine and conferences have included Stephen Webster, Michael Levin, Nick Griffin, Bruno Gollnisch, J. Philippe Rushton, Ian Jobling, Glenn Spencer, Lawrence Auster, Richard Lynn, Sam Dickson, and Samuel T. Francis. According to the Anti-Defamation League,[7] "The New Century Foundation - known primarily by the name of its publication, American Renaissance -- promotes 'genteel' racism: pseudoscientific, questionably researched and argued articles that validate the genetic and moral inferiority of non-whites and the need for racial 'purity.' Generally avoiding overt bigotry and stereotyping, many of North America's leading intellectual racists have written for the journal or have addressed the biannual American Renaissance conferences." en.wikipedia.org
