Peace Be Unto Those Who Follow Right Guidance.
I just watched The Seven Sins of England, a documentary by Joseph Bullman looking at anti-social behaviour in England and exposing the [English] nation's ancient heritage of binge-drinking, rudeness, violence, hooliganism, slaggishness, consumerism and bigotry (Channel 4, 22.00pm - 23.05pm, 8 May 2007).
From a counter-racist perspective, I would argue that, under conditions of White Supremacy (Racism), the material that was presented in the programme serves two complementary purposes:
(1) To ALERT 'white' people - including White Supremacists (Racists) - to the "rising tide of colour" in the UK caused by an influx of 'problem' immigrants - non-White people in general and Muslims in particular;
(2) To WARN non-white people that they had better be careful not to "cross the line" or "overstep the mark" because England's [=WS/R] vanguard, it's first and last "line of defense [=attack]" is ready (and unwilling) to do whatever needs to be done to protect England and it's [WS/R] culture.
In short, the programme was not a documentary; it was pure [=White] propaganda.
I should also like to point out that the programme employed a very 'clever' style in the way that it delivered the above message - getting the male and female English [=white] working class participants to read out statements made by 19th century commentators on English working-class culture. Using this mode of delivery allows the propagandist to protect him/herself using the veil/mask of 'history' (but whose history [=his-story]?) and thereby deflect any criticisms that might be made by the viewer - whether non-white or white. Yet another 'clever' strategy was to bury/submerge the Racist (White Supremacist) message among other 'issues' such as "binge-drinking","slaggishness" and "consumerism". Finally, attention should be given to the use of camera close-ups to emphasise particular statements in the programme: These focused on the 'culture' of the English [=WS/R] and were identified with a love of VIOLENCE and HEROISM. As stated previously, such statements simultaneously function as ALERTS (to whites) and WARNINGS (to non-whites). None of this should come as a shock to the counter-racist since, as Neely Fuller Jr. points out in "The Code Book", the White Supremacist (Racist) is the SMARTEST person in the known universe.
