Looks like an interesting article but I'm in mid-term grading season so if you can name here some racist or antisemitic intellectuals Nash resolves that’ll hopefully whet my appetite to learn more when I can

Kendall rode the line. He espoused racist colonial views in his youth, positively reviewed a book on Black IQs, but also explicitly denied being motivated by racial prejudice. I wouldn't say it's big part of his political imagination, but he wrote about civil rights critically.pic.twitter.com/ddc75hhkwx

I disagree that it wasn't a big part of his imagination. Impossible to understand Conservative Affirmation without awareness that Civil Rights was for him the domestic dividing line & goal was how to stall, tame, & limit.

To clarify: I wouldn't say racism was central to his political imagination. The Civil rights movement absolutely was.

I think his praise of Weyl clarifies where that opposition comes from. More broadly, it's pretty clear that his key concept of "virtuous people" is implicitly "virtuous [almost all white] people"
