Enoch Powell’s speech
14th August 2011
Steve Sailer reminds us that there is nothing new under the sun.
This speech, given shortly after the race riots that followed the murder of Martin Luther King, effectively destroyed Enoch Powell’s political career. Unfortunately, he was right.
That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect.
