1. National Review is complaining the concept of white supremacy is empty. Okay, let's try to cite a few examples to clarify. National Review 1957: "the White community is...for the time being ... the advanced race." https://adamgomez.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/whythesouthmustprevail-1957.pdf …

By your logic, Jeet is a racist because he works at a magazine that published The Bell Curve issue

That's not what either I or John are saying. What I would say is National Review should grapple with this history more (as, I think, TNR has tried to do with its own history).

Let me get this straight: So you credit yourself for grappling with what you take to be TNR's history over 20 years after the fact. But not Buckley, who himself retracted that editorial within less than a handful of years of writing it?

Buckley's retraction is offset but really terrible stuff magazine continued to publish for decades after (for example 1963 church bombing editorial).

By your lights TNR also published terrible stuff years after the Bell Curve. Do you mention each instance in every article you write that touches on issues of justice between the races?

Replying to @michaelbd @HeerJeet and
But Jeet is not arguing that people that write for NR today should take blame for their errors in the past. He is arguing that if today's editors want to find the real meaning of white supremacy they should take a look at their past.
