	Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
	Recently, I was interviewed for what CNN promised would be, in its words, an hour-long, serious treatment of white nationalism.
	I accepted skeptically, and I wrote back, I will permit myself to hope that the word hate will not be in the title of your program, and that my interview will not be sandwiched between footage of goose-steppers and cross-burners.
	Ha, vain hope.
	The program was called State of Hate, the Explosion of White Supremacy.
	My co-stars were Dylann Roof, Timothy McVeigh, the New Zealand mosque shooter, and, of course, Adolf Hitler, along with hundreds and hundreds of Klansmen.
	CNN draws a straight line from me to mass murder and genocide, but academics, at least in Europe, have actually begun to try to understand white advocacy.
	And they've discovered that we have legitimate interests and deserve a voice in politics.
	One example of this wiser view is the book White Shift, Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities.
	The author, Eric Kaufman, is professor of politics at Birkbeck College, University of London.
	Professor Kaufman understands why whites all around the world Don't want to become minorities.
	And he sees the danger of what CNN is trying to do, namely, demonize white identity and force it underground.
	Let me quote from Whiteshift.
	Not only is white group self-interest legitimate, but I maintain that in an era of unprecedented white demographic decline, it is absolutely vital for it to have a democratic outlet.
	Vital. He goes on to say, He even notes that progressives want to shove whites right out the door.
	White decline emboldens the cultural left, he writes, with its dream of radical social transformation.
	He goes on to warn that if the government backs this transformation, and if whites are shut out of politics, they could, And I quote again,"Start viewing the government as an enemy." Pretty strong talk.
	Another book that recognizes white interests is National Populism: The Revolt Against Liberal Democracy by Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin, two more British professors.
	By National Populism, they mean white support for immigration control parties throughout the West.
	They understand why white people And they go on to write this.
	National populists are appealing strongly to people who share distinct and legitimate beliefs about how this rapid change poses cultural and demographic risks.
	Legitimate beliefs.
	Again, unlike CNN, which wants to treat dissidents like insects, Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin write, These are legitimate, democratic issues that millions of people want to discuss and address.
	Believe it or not, this book, startlingly full of common sense, was named a Sunday Times Book of the Year for 2018.
	Another even-handed European treatment is the identitarians, the movement against globalism and Islam in Europe.
	It's by José Pedro Zucchete at the University of Lisbon.
	Dr. Zucchete explains that identitarians have a traditional morality that elites have rejected, adding that identitarians value, quote, territorial belonging, historical and cultural inheritance, collective memory,
	Hereditarianism and ethnic ties.
	Yes, we do value those things.
	Dr. Zuckete even explains why American identitarians talk more about race than European identitarians.
	He quotes me, respectfully, I might add, as follows.
	Americans have no choice but to speak in terms of race as our unifying factor.
	Whereas European nationalists can emphasize language, history, and culture without specifically talking about race.
	American academics don't have anything like this sane perspective.
	Making Sense of the Alt-Right by Professor George Hawley of the University of Alabama is a mostly accurate description of the ideas and people in the dissident right.
	However, Professor Hawley calls us a racist movement, and he claims that, quote, If the alt-right continues to grow in size, it may represent a serious challenge for America's liberal democracy.
	You see, Europeans understand that if democracy means anything, we have to be heard.
	Professor Hawley thinks we're a threat to democracy.
	Ashley Jardina of Duke University is even more hostile in a book called White Identity Politics, but she does make a surprising concession.
	White identity is not synonymous with racial animus and is not a proxy for white supremacy or extremism.
	Are you listening, CNN?
	She even recognizes that, quote, white identity may be, in part, a reaction to the development of other strong racial identities in American society, and that this raises the obvious question.
	Whites wonder...
	If blacks, Latinos, Asians, and others can organize around their race or ethnicity, why can't we do the same?
	Well, she says, we can't.
	Because, in her words, whiteness, by its very nature, is constructed in opposition to other groups.
	Racial solidarity is healthy for everyone else, but pathological for us.
	The usual rubbish.
	Now, doesn't she look like a sweet, earnest white woman?
	But Professor Giardina does write something interesting.
	Americans today remain more polarized around issues of race than ever.
	Really? More polarized than in 1860 when South Carolina seceded over slavery?
	More polarized than in 1968 when Martin Luther King was assassinated and there were race riots in more than 100 American cities?
	If she's right, and I'm not arguing with her, then it sounds to me...
	She could be saying that race is a problem that can't be solved.
	And even though she hates it, Professor Giardina realizes that white people everywhere are waking up.
	As I said to my CNN interviewer, I can assure you more and more white people agree with me all the time.
	European academics see this, and they take it seriously.
	They understand that whites have legitimate interests, even if...
	We are kept off of campuses, out of politics, silenced on social media, and smeared on TV.
	American elites, even more than European elites, rely on pure repression to try to squash ideas they can't refute.
	But the truth is leaking out.
	The truth is on our side.
	And in the end, the truth will set us free.
	you.
