Vytautas

Hello everyone,

my name is Vytautas, I am a third-year student of politics.

For my term-task, I was asked by my lecturer to analyse some modern anti-immigration speeches (or racism speeches). I managed to find one such speech – Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’. However, I have found some difficulties in finding more modern anti-immigration or racist speeches. There are quite a number of videos of such speeches but I need tapecsripts which are not so easily available.

So maybe there are people who know some links to those types of speeches, and more precisely – to the tapescripts of those speeches since I will have to analyse them so tapescripts are worthier than videos in this case.

Thanks for your understanding and time!

I can't help you here but I would also love to hear transcripts from radio talk shows located in the segregated south before and during the civil rights movement.
 
Initially, you need to clarify with your lecturer that there is a very stark difference between "Anti-immigration" speeches and "Racist" speeches. For one to assume a position against Immigration has noting to do with racism whatsoever.

For racist speeches, you might check some of the speeches of the Reverend Wright, Obama's pastor and also Louis Farrakhan, who lives in Obama's former neighborhood.
