Whitney Dow: [00:00:00] Thank you for joining us, Jared, I appreciate your talking to us about reparations.
Jared Taylor: [00:00:13] It’s my pleasure. Thank you.
Whitney Dow: [00:00:16] First, I was wondering how you would describe yourself. How would you describe what your philosophy is?
Jared Taylor: [00:00:37] I would call myself a race realist. And by that I mean I think policy on race relations has to be based on the facts as we understand them, not on some kind of ideology that ignores the facts. And I think that’s frequently the case in the United States: Ideology ignores the facts.
