task 5

Listening to the radio extract from 1958, I can straight away tell that there was a racial problem in Britain, and the fact that black and white people battled with each other, no one really won. 

The man speaking talks about an 'invasion' by the black people and about the fights and riots that are breaking out because of the feelings black and white people had of each other. This speaker is representing the black people as if they were causing all the violence when really it was the white people being prejudice against the black people.

The speaker also believes that violence is the only way to solve the 'problem' of black people, this is representing the white people as very strong willed to want to get rid of black people by exterminating them. In 1958 violence between white and black people was very common and this extract only emphasise  the problems that black people faced when wanting to find refuge in a country like this.
