A Tribute to Black History Month
The writings of Eldridge Cleaver
1. "Rape was an insu rrectionary act. It delighted me that I was defying and
trampling upon the white man's law, upon his system of values, and that
I was defiling his women...I felt I was getting revenge. From the site of
the act of rape, consternation spread outwardly in concentric circles.
I wanted to send waves of consternation thoughout the white race."
2. "I know that the black man's sick attitude toward the white woman is
a revolutionary sickness: it keeps him perpetually out of harmony with the
system that is oppressing him. Many whites flatter themselves with the idea that the Negro male's
lust and desire for the white dream girl is purely an esthetic attraction,
but nothing could be further from the truth. His motivation is often of such
a bloody, hateful, bitter, and malignant nature that whites would really
be hard pressed to find it flattering."
