By far the most important aspect of this clip is that the interviewer asks a question and the interviewee is allowed to answer it without interruption. As such, the listener is informed. Our modern media no longer allows its audience to be informed. It has chosen to be our instructor.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Dick Cavett carries a rare skill in television interviewing - fully listening to his guest's responses and allowing his audience to do the same.

[@absoluteacw]

That was then and when talk shows ruled the tv. That was the entertainment of it's day. Not so much now at all. It appears to have moved online, podcasts, vlogs etc. Never has one been surrounded by so many self styled experts who aren't famous but firmly believe they are. They have their own channel to view on sites such as this and interview other unknowns and have the most extraordinary opinions on anything. The public, many of them, choosing to believe conspiracies from people, (strangers ) online and that if one was sat next to a person on a train or waiting for a bus and a person (stranger) talked their conspiracies out loud, people I would imagine would feel uncomfortable.

[@GreenDistantStar]

Great Britain told the peoples of the countries they colonised that Britain was now their homeland, not their place of birth. Those thus colonised cannot be criticised for returning 'home', which they have done in their tens of millions. In the decades since, those immigrants have changed the fabric of Great Britain, and it's up to those who live there to determine how that's all worked out for them.

Enoch Powell knew where the world was going and called it as he saw it,he was one of England's most intelligent, eloquent and pragmatic politicians, well said Sir.The term racist is a term that has become weaponized and used as an insult in a derogatory way and a term that many using it have no idea of what it actually means there is a fine line between being labelled a racist or a patriot and the left wing love to blur those lines.

[@amalekedomite]

Racist is not an insult. It's natural human behaviour. As Powell suggests, it's deliberatly ill defined. But in essence it means "accepting that there are differences in ethnicity, and acting accordingly." Same with "discrimination." It's not bad. Infact, if you cannot discriminate you cannot think. Which is exactly why they want to make it a social taboo.

There is no group in Britain today that is so victimised, so misrepresented, so downtrodden as the unfortunate indigenous white majority. And it's time we stood up, reversed this masochistic desire to please other races while downplaying ourselves.

That is how the whole thing started, the majority snickered and paid no attention. Now it is too late.

What an intelligent and visionary man, imagine a current British mp speaking like this now. It is staggering that he was concerned about the situation in the 60s and they are still flooding in unchecked.

Imagine a talk show host who actually allows someone to explain themselves, to espouse their thoughts and beliefs, whether popular or not, and then ask questions that people on both sides of the issues would probably want to ask themselves. The cancel culture in American society today has all but ensured that interviews like this will never be allowed to happen in the future. Show hosts are nothing more than cheerleaders for their point of view, and they exist only to foist their opinions on their audience who clap and cheer them along. Our intolerance for the opposing point of view is making us more stupid by the day, and it will ultimately be one of things that leads us to our decline and destruction.

Yes. I'm not too keen on Cavett, but I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. The interaction between the two is superb. Articulate, controlled, open, factual, interesting...it rarely occurs today. *Edit, The cancel culture is prevalent in the UK too. It's suffocating reasonable discourse.

[@jeffr6280]

@@David-cm4ok suffocating reasonable discourse is a good way to put it. It's one thing when that type of rhetoric is conducted by politicians. In fact, some would say it should be expected of them given the nature of politics. It's the behavior of the tech companies who literally have the power to control the flow of dialogue that alarms me the most. It is truly Orwellian in nature.

While the subject matter is controversial and the issues too complex for a short social media comment, what instantly stands out here is how well informed and willing to articulate Mr Powell is. Contrast this with todays politicians who appear to know nothing and say even less, seemingly single-minded in their quest to advance their own estate.
