      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?

      I'd add there is other stuff as well. TNR rightly apologised for dumb Iraq war support

          I assure you we’ve published a fair amount of Iraq War commentary.

          I know. I'm pretty sure MBD and I agree on a lot of foreign policy. That's why I used example
