CRITICISM

Critics of Taylor have described him as a racist and an advocate of white supremacy.

"Jared Taylor is the cultivated, cosmopolitan face of white supremacy," said Mark Potok, editor of Intelligence Report, the magazine of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center . "He is the guy who is providing the intellectual heft, in effect, to modern-day Klansmen." Potok quotes Taylor as writing that African American s are, "crime-prone," "dissipated," "pathological" and "deviant." Potok also points to Taylor's close association with the Council Of Conservative Citizens , which he labels "racist". Potok calls ''The Color of Crime'', "a booklet that tries to use crime statistics so as to 'prove' that blacks are far more criminally prone than whites."
