“…If only there was some sort of club I could join to celebrate my whiteness … I’ve wondered many times …
… while masturbating over paintings of Hitler.
Well there is!
It’s called the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (or ABT), and it’s celebrated in a documentary called Inside The Aryan Brotherhood (Wed, 10pm, Discovery).
Heavily tattooed, spouting hate speech, bragging about their appetite for violence …
… and openly boasting about their crystal meth-smuggling business ..
… they’re the kind of people you’d expect to find in prison.
Which is probably why they’re in prison.
Despite being in prison, they’re a force to be reckoned with, according to this documentary, which in no way glorifies them …
… unless you think intercutting violent CCTV prison fights with menacing soundbites from masked members of the Aryan Brotherhood …
… underscored with dramatic music … counts as “glorification”.
Anyone who thinks those sequences look like precisely the sort of thing the ABT might edit together themselves is mistaken.
For one thing, the captions are spelt correctly.
And for another they’re not allowed to use Final Cut Pro in prison.
They’re allowed to do push-ups, though.
Lots of push-ups.
We see one of them doing push-ups in his cell and he looks pretty cool …
… if you ignore the seatless metal toilet in the corner which he has to piss and shit in every day with no privacy because he’s in prison.
They’re not all in prison.
Some remain outside, including a one-legged member called Lucky …
… and a man who wears a bandana to protect his identity …
… but fails to cover up the huge, immediately identifiable tattoos on both his arms.
Maybe he thinks a black man invented the sleeve.
The programme hasn’t noticed how funny this is;…”..(cont..)
