"For almost three decades, Jared Taylor has been publishing his ideas about race at the American Renaissance magazine and now at a website called AmRen, which is considered a mouthpiece for white supremacist ideology. ... The website is not well-known outside white nationalist circles — but it found an audience in White House adviser Stephen Miller."
- slowmotiony 6y agoSo Stephen Miller is a white supremacist now? He must be hiding it pretty well, since I've heard through hundreds of hours of his podcast with Raheem Kasam and he has never said anything remotely racist.
- tomjakubowski 6y agoStephen Miller, the one working in the White House, doesn't host any podcast. You are thinking of Jason Miller.
- slowmotiony 6y agoYou're right, sorry about that one.
- compuguy 6y agoLast time I checked there is quite a lot of evidence pointing to him being a white supremacist: https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/13/politics/katie-mchugh-stephen-miller/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/13/politics/katie-mchugh-stephen...
- slowmotiony 6y agoThanks for the link, I confused him with the chief strategist of trump campaign Jason Miller.
- qazpot 6y agoTo be fair the bar to be considered a white supermacist is very low in today's political correctness environment.
- prezjordan 6y agoAnd what is your evidence of that?
- leereeves 6y agoThe bar is so low that Jewish (like Stephen Miller) and even black (e.g. Ben Carson, Candace Owens) people are frequently called white supremacists. So low that people saying "It's ok to be white" were called white supremacists. Does the term have any meaning now, or has it become simply a slur for anyone whose political beliefs differ, like "communist" or "terrorist" before it?
- joubert 6y agoAgreed that there's risk in overuse which can lead to numbness for the real thing. In some ways, I'd argue we should then be even more vigilant because white supremacist rhetoric / apologist sentiment and actions are having an easier time to hide behind the veils of fuzziness. One comment though: you do not have to be white to be a white supremacist. White supremacy is the belief that white people are superior to people of other races, and should thus dominate them. We see this pattern in other arenas too, e.g. gays and homophobia or women and gender bias.
- dx87 6y agoI've personally been accused of being a neo-nazi on reddit because my username includes the number 88, which is only there because my wife's birth year is 1988 and I'm not creative enough to think of a unique name. I've seen the same frivolous accusations thrown around here as well.

- andrewla 6y agoThis has no sources other than the SPLC's analysis of some leaked emails and selective quotations from them [1]. The SPLC has further examinations as well [2]. Look at the out-of-context quotes given in the first link and decide for yourself whether this is enough to justify a charge of being a white supremecist, even given that the article is explicitly dedicated to working towards that conclusion. Don't just take their word for it. I'll gladly concede that Miller is anti-immigration to the point of being xenophobic, but white supremecist is a huge stretch.

- nbardy 6y agoThe bar for proving that "America is run by white supremacists" needs to be a lot higher than, one guy in the white house reads a blog.
