Profiling is not just part of law enforcement investigation, to a large extent profiling IS law enforcement investigation.
A profiler looks for a pattern. He does NOT look for fairness.
The profiler gives out a list of characteristic a perp has, height, weight, accent, locations where he tends to hang out, and every one of those characteristics apply to tens of thousands or even millions of other people.
That’s what profiling IS.
None of this is objected to, because the same public a profiler is being unfair to wants him caught, and is paying the profiler to help catch him.
If a serial murderer is the same size and weight and coloring as I am, it could make me some trouble at a roadblock.
I expect it to. I expect the cops to be on the lookout for people of my size, weight and color, and I’m all for firing the ones who don’t in such a situation.
You don’t have to be a regular watcher of COPS to realize that if a person’s skin is black, he is ten times more likely to have committed a crime. If a person of my general appearance has committed a crime, I expect it to cause me some difficulties.
I do NOT blame the police for that. I EXPECT, no, I DEMAND that in such a case people like me be stopped and checked out.
And I NEVER blame it on the cops.
I blame it on the felon.
On 9/11, Bush’s Secretary of Transportation was a Japanese-American. He declared that grandmothers of Scandinavian descent would be strip-searched every bit as much as foreigners in Arab garb.
The reason Mineta said he did this was his trauma at the treatment of his Japanese-American family in internment camps in World War II.
If a grown man has childhood traumas you put him in a nice quiet place, you talk to him and you give him sleepy pills.
You do NOT let his childhood traumas turn into national policy
Unless you’re a dumbass respectable conservative, of course. The reason people assumed that Moslems with a foreign accent were more likely to be terrorists is because Moslems with foreign accents DID all the 9/11 bombing.
So respectable conservatives demanded that tenth generation American grandmothers be strip-searched.
The reason police suspect blacks of committing more crimes is because blacks commit more crimes.
Nobody, but NOBODY, ever states flatly that that is why you profile blacks.
It’s the reason you profile ANYBODY.

They just say ‘turnabout is fair play.’ And Millions have gone into justifying scandinavian strip search. The book Mind Hunter explained “profiling” to the public. Supposedly written by a man from “Quantico” which this book made a household word, along with a good friend, it explained profiling whites is necessary b/c of the genius white male serial killer.
Then Silence of the Lambs movies seemed produced in rapid succession to popularize and reinforce the expert’s idea. If one looks up names involved with initial meme production, writers, editors and so forth, the rule of thumb is it leads to larger professional media groups, and therefore their political connections.
Journalism discipline used to teach all this, to ask: Who is the source of the whites-must-be-profiled meme? When did the first instance of it occur? Where does it come from? In other words, critical thinking. Amusingly, the “left” actually co-opted that very term –“critical thinking”– previously so dear to u.s. citizens, and made very similar “critical theory” synonymous with marxism. This proves the sheer intentionality of the co-option of terminology that one wishes to end; in this case, real critical thinking.
Even WN concentrates on pointing out the Carl Wattses, but rarely keeps coming back to: “Consider the Source.”
But all stories (songs, images, utterances) have genaologies just like people. Someone somewhere for some reason makes them up. Repeating them makes them look “real.” Then people form their “reality” around the story and submerge whatever does not fit, in the way they simply can’t fathom Carl Watts.
After seeing 200 “silence of the lambs” and the same idea played on 100s of t.v. shows, they will see Karl Watts as a strange anomaly. Even if they logically know differently, the emotional hot-button will tell them scandinavians are worthy of strip searching all the time. Never underestimate the power of 100 movies.
In any person, one can see this process at work in their attitude formation, the formulation of identity.
Also: Daily “identity politics” is referred to on t.v., and by the people recognized as the most important in the world. But no one ever asks: what does that really mean, in real terms? What does it mean for me and our family? How is it affecting us? Who made it up? Why did they do it? Is it good for us?
They are trained so everything is summed up as “right” or “wrong.” They do not even know to ask the usual questions associated with “thinking.”
journalism used to be about the “Five W’s”– who, what, when, why, where? Now it is about “positioning yourself”– what is your position?–1, 2, or 3.
Only the five w’s can open out exploration. A position is a dead end and stagnant mentality.

So… “I suppose it’s ok for me to be stopped if a wrongdoer who is said to look like me is really on the run nearby. But I am law-abiding, so I don’t think about it much. What I do know is this whole business of profiling has an interesting history, especially in regards to searching scandinavians, that should be discussed…..”

What turns my stomach is how most whites are intimidated by young black males on the street.
Now the fact is there are a lot of very dangerous mutts out there. That fact does not justify this cowardly attitude. It is very important for our side to focus on eliminating this dishonor. Police profiling and the lack thereof is a side issue. You succumb to Political Correctness the very moment you ask the police to substitute your courage.
This is the very reason the government gets away with its depredations at airports. It is an attitude of supine cowardice on the part of the mass of our white people. It is widespread, normative, and devastating. There is no substitute for facing the real issue.
That is why Political Correctness on the part of the police in the black community and the resultant high levels of lawlessness is a tailwind for our side. The environment of lawlessness helps bring our white cowards to account.
As we move forward in confronting our white people with a new spirit of militancy and siegecraft, it is going to be very hard on the mass of white cowards we have. Cowards need to be held to account and punished. That means most of our efforts are going to have to focus on punishing white people.
We can focus on reigning in blacks and other nonwhite criminals through profiling anytime. Computerized biologic identification is right around the corner. Biologic identification makes profiling a piece of cake. I don’t think we need to be concerned with it. That is a back burner issue. It is the hordes of white cowards that are our problem.

The word we are looking for in the last few threads is “responsibility.”
The wordist kooks in the church, the police, the media, what have you have degenerated into cults protected by Mommy’s PC.
Tell a female/male they are responsible these days you begin the breaking, they have taken into their mental makeup their script of life the wordist claptrap that absolves them of “responsibility.” That is what cults do.

As for institutions and debt look no further than the southern baptists, their change of mind on the mexican led genocide reeks of debt. A debt owed to some nice jewish person who only asks of one thing, our genocide in exchange for paying off the accumulated debt.

Whites are getting more cowardly. What would be ideal for the Evil Ones is this: if Whites had to fear being called German. Also, the whole idea of “Racism” seems quite riddiculous to me. It is really intriguing how we all have to be some form of Hyphenated American– whether Irish American, or Polish American, or Italian American. It is like they actually wish for Whites to be divided against each other.

We have to keep on harping on the Gulag. The Media hardly ever does. We must not let what had happened to our fellow Christians ever be forgotten. I am sure that eventually all will work out for the best for us!
