I am always amazed when I hear people claim that Airport security has to search Whites because they are not allowed to do racial profiling. The trouble with this rationale is the assumption that the searches serve an underlying meaningful purpose,  which is to search Arab terrorists, and that searching Whites is merely an additional “cost” we impose on ourselves to demonstrate our racial benevolence.

The State of Israel, confronted as it is with a very high risk of retaliatory violence, profiles and searches only a very small subset of Arabs – those who come to the attention of their intelligence agencies for professing, through speech or conduct, obvious markers of probable intent to carry out attacks.

That is exactly how a nation under real threat operates if its purpose is to prevent attacks.

So obviously, U.S. airport security must have a larger and more comprehensive purpose than merely stopping terrorism. For the multicultural true believer, the searching of Whites at airports is a convenient, state sponsored, taxpayer financed opportunity for them to engage in a spectacularly wasteful public display of their moral superiority.

And the fact that there has never been a single instance of White terrorist activity in an airplane makes the display all the more powerful. The removal of all traces of practical utility renders the symbolic content absolute, pure and unmistakable.

What most observers of the contemporary scene miss entirely is the simple fact that this display (financed at your expense) would confer no status whatsoever if all races performed the same self effacing ritual. At bottom, for the multicultural true believer, the airport search is a race-specific display of their moral superiority—the one form of white supremacy they really care about, and the one form of white supremacy that the Jews joyously tolerate, as the race which it fears most destroys itself at its own expense.

One might argue that these conspicuous displays of racial generosity might be intended to blunt the anger of Muslims whose nations we are invading. But Muslims are not fooled by any of this. Indeed, given the fact that Christianity is as dead as a dodo (if not hated outright) by and among the elites who run this country, the “Crusader” label used by the Muslim nations makes sense only if they see these self righteous public displays for exactly what they are: the moral and ideological justification for a race-smothering, culture-destroying crusade to produce a single, world wide, homogenized race of human consumers for the globalist economic engine.

While the irrationality of the airport search might appeal to the Mrs. Jellyby (of Bleak House fame) in the gentile multicultural true believer, it is clear that the paranoid architects of the policy at Homeland Security have no such illusions. It is the murderous, pogrom-inclined, white gentile who is the real target.

Never mind that there has never been a pogrom in the U.S. There is always a pogrom lurking below the surface; and for those who set policy at Homeland Security and their ethnic kinsmen to feel safe, they must begin to condition the great white gentile herd to accept being searched randomly and for no apparent reason.

They must be searched so often and so regularly that being searched feels ordinary and natural to them.

After all, using the public infrastructure of the air traffic system is a privilege and not a right, and thus by using that public infrastructure, you give up your rights under the Fourth Amendment and must submit to a search.

But then the same argument will apply just as well to the public infrastructure of our public highways and public sidewalks. Once the glass tower and air travel-using gentile population is conditioned to submit to constant searches and pat downs, it is only a matter of time before the searches and pat downs leap the firewall of the airport and infiltrate down to the train stations, the bus stops, the highways and the sidewalks.

2. The Texas Chicken Run

The Texas legislature passed a law criminalizing as sexual assault any Airport security officer’s touching of the private parts of an airline passenger.

Homeland Security then threatens to shut down all the airports in Texas.

Then Governor Perry causes his Lieutenant Governor to veto the bill.

What a moron!!

There is no way that Homeland Security would shut down all the Airports in Texas. The Airlines would have screamed bloody murder and would provoke Congress to intervene and make Homeland Security back off.

Texas has a huge amount of arrival and destination air traffic as well as two or three times that amount to hub transfer traffic. Shutting down Texas would have disrupted nearly a third of the airline traffic in the U.S.

Besides, criminalizing genital groping by Airport security was largely symbolic in any event. County prosecutors would have a serious problem with scienter if they had attempted to bring any actual criminal prosecutions under that act. Guards ordered to search people as part of their jobs do not normally intend to assault or sexually molest those they search by touching their private parts.

Governor Perry should have called Homeland Security’s bluff.

They would have caved.

It is clear that states do not understand the scope of their power to shape national policy. For example, no state has yet figured out that they can easily recoup banker bailout bonus money attributable to the bank’s share of the bank’s revenue derived from that state simply by taxing the bank on that state’s slice of the bailout revenue.

Similarly, the states can impose an income surtax, or an excise tax, on revenues produced in the state with the amount of the tax based on the number of U.S. Jobs destroyed and moved overseas.

These taxes would be wildly popular politically. Imagine the Federal U.S. Attorney having to sue to block a tax that protects the American worker from having his job exported to China!

Rather than enacting a criminal statute, Texas should have imposed an excise tax, just like they impose on cigarettes, gasoline and liquor, on any person who gropes another person’s genitals or breasts in a public place – no scienter problem at all. The U.S. Attorney would have a devil’s time challenging an excise tax under the Supremacy Clause, and the challenge would be litigated in the Fifth Circuit, where the Court of Appeals would be sympathetic to the State’s position.

The problem at the state level is two fold.

First, most of the legislators are people who could not make it in law practice and simply want a job. They are risk averse.

Second, they rely on political consultants who were taught as undergraduates that to maximize consulting revenue, you must maximize the political contribution take of your politician clients from special interests. Protecting the average middle class voter is at best a waste of time and effort if your objective is to raise special interest money. And more often than not will be seen as a threat by those special interests.

Once again, you get risk aversion.

Until we get very intelligent volunteer legislative analysts educating the mediocrities that inhabit our state legislatures, America will continue down its current path.

A few observations:

1. Overall, it seems to be a fairly accurate portrayal of the heart of Red State Texas and its high school football obsession. As an anthropological study, it is hard to beat.

2. The producer is Peter Berg, a New Yorker who apparently has a first cousin who lives in a small Texas town and became fascinated with the football cult. Not sure of Berg’s ethnicity, but the show is remarkable in its realistic portrayal of the Christian culture that still permeates rural Texas. The show does not exhibit the typical Jewish producer’s allergy to all things Christian unless it involves taking the name of Christ in vain. FNL is so enjoyable because it portrays our people as they are, not as caricatures. In addition, the sets are dead-on perfect. The houses, the furniture, the settings are all genuine Texas small town.

3. The best positive of the show is the portrayal of the head coach’s relationship with his wife. Their relationship is warm, supportive, and highly sexual. It’s unusual these days to have a mainstream television show portray heterosexual marriage in a positive way. The coach character in particular is stand-out, the epitome of a principled white male who does the right thing and doesn’t back down from adversity.

4. The first season covered at least four politically incorrect plot elements:

(a) A new black quarterback, a Katrina refugee, comes to the town, recruited by local boosters. Once on the team, he acts like a total thug, but the coach displaces the white quarterback to give it to the black, who seems to have more natural talent. During the game, the black player’s ego gets in the way of winning, the coach realizes the error of his ways and pulls the black out of the game and puts in his humble, team-player white quarterback. The Panthers go on to win the game and the Katrina refugee eventually leaves town to play for another school (and re-appears in full thug form as the Panthers’ opposition quarterback in the season finale state championship game).

(b) This same thug quarterback, before leaving town, goes to the local teen hangout (a burger joint) and calls one of the Mexican players a wetback. The Mexican player gets really upset but does not attack the thug. Later, a brainy white kid makes a snide, but non-racist, remark to the Mexican about the general meaninglessness of football. The Mexican, still smarting from the thug’s insult, follows the white kid outside and beats him up so bad he ends up in the hospital; the next day the Mexican is arrested at practice. The rest of the episode features the Mexican claiming it was the white kid who called him a wetback, and that was why he beat him up. The coach initially trusts the Mexican kid, but once he finds out the truth, he kicks the Mexican off the team permanently. I have never heard of ANY mainstream television show portraying a fake hate crime by a minority, even though fakes are the substantial majority of real-life hate crime accusations.

(c) The showboat black running back on the team, who calls himself Smash, tells his mother he wants to take an SAT prep course that costs $1300. The mother can’t afford it but instead enlists their pastor’s help who then takes up an offering at the black church the following Sunday. The black player then takes the money and buys steroids. I can’t think of any show that portrays blacks this realistically, in their full depressing depravity.

(d) Late in the season, an assistant coach tells a reporter that he thinks black players like Smash have a “junkyard dog” mentality that makes them better runners, whereas white players are more “creative” and make better leaders and quarterbacks. In the resulting uproar, black players threaten to quit the team unless the coach gives in and fires his assistant. The coach ignores their threat, and even has white kids from the JV team fill in for the blacks. The coach also stands by his friend the assistant coach, refusing to fire him (even after the asst. coach offers his resignation for the good of the team, the head coach refuses it, saying not firing him over the remarks was “the right thing to do”), and the show portrays the assistant coach as a whole, complex person who truly cares about the kids, not a hateful racist. In addition, the head coach nor none of the main characters ever deny what he said was true, but they just say “what you said was stupid” or “you can’t talk about the black-white thing”. This is probably exactly how coaches in Texas would talk in private. No hand-wringing or shock at the statement, because it’s obviously true.

Before the next game, the black players relent and rejoin the team, because the white coach refuses to give in to their demands. The subsequent game ends in a riot due to the high tensions and the game is called for Dillon after the 3rd quarter, infuriating the home team and town. Dillon players leave town quickly hoping to avoid any more confrontation, but as they make their way out of town local cops stop and decide to harass the team, specifically demanding to arrest the black player on Dillon’s team they think started the riot. The “racist” assistant coach gets out of the bus and confronts the local cops, telling them if they do not have a warrant they will not arrest one of his players. The black players then realize the error of their ways in overreacting to the coach’s statement, and the head black player, Smash, and the assistant coach reconcile.

I have never seen in any mainstream production a more sympathetic, balanced treatment of an individual who utters a racist statement, and portrays positively those that resist the calls for his head. Nor have I ever seen a portrayal of whites being victorious in not giving in to the demands of offended blacks.

5. The casting is almost perfect. Apparently they hired a special Texas casting director for many of the characters, and it’s just dead-on. So many of the characters correspond to archetypes of the larger-than-life individuals who inhabit the South and Texas. As one historian put it, the bravado, faith, and patriotism that characterizes the region is “better than sanity” and this is fully portrayed (the local car dealer and his ubiquitous dead animals on walls, for example; many wealthy Texan males spend millions pursuing large game all over the world). This same character, upset at his ex-wife for dating another man, says “I don’t understand what you see in that tree-hugging idiot who makes seven dollars an hour at a health food store. I will not sit by and see my children turn into Communists.”

6. Two minor critiques: there was a minor early plot element where the small town mayor is portrayed as a lesbian. The head coach’s wife is recruited to help in her re-election campaign, but the coach disapproves, both because he hates politicians and he’s “uncomfortable” with his wife being around the mayor. This plot element seemed somewhat random and was not pursued further in the first season. Second, there is a near-miss interracial relationship that is quickly broken up by the black boy’s mother who runs them out of the house scolding her son “Don’t you bring no white girl in this house”. . . in any case, this plot element is isolated and confined to one episode.

7. The second season seems less promising, as the teen drama elements seem to be overpowering the football-driven plot. However, the first season was solid. Not appropriate for children, of course.
