  • Eldridge Cleaver was no traitor. Soul On Ice is a handbook for independent radical Black intellectual engagement. For the record, in Soul on Ice, Cleaver condemns rape as a dehumanizing act. Know the whole history of the BPP and the BLA before you go spouting that conformist reactionary bullsh*t that David Hilliard and Huey Newton inspired slander about Cleaver after the BPP split in 1971.

  • From 1967-1975 Eldridge Cleaver was an influential writer, radical intellectual and Black liberationist. Because of his commitment to armed struggle against oppression he was forced into international exile during which he spent time in CUBA, ALGERIA & FRANCE. In 1975 he returned to the U.S. and surrendered to the FBI who kept him in prison for 2 years. Upon his release he did a 180 and rejected his former commitment to Black liberation.

    Early Cleaver = on point. Late Cleaver = fell off.

  • Soul on Ice...Was it before or after prison ?

  • @Elmore3141 You again.....

    Get a life loser

  • Eldridge Cleaver was more intelligent than most negroes, but he was still just a silly negro spouting excuses for the failure of his race to thrive in the world's greatest country. Negroes are always coming up with some cockamamie theory or another for their failures. The truth is that they are low-IQ subhumans from sub-Saharan Africa. They don't belong in modern cities, living among civilized people. They should move to one of the many black-majority black-governed countries in Africa.

  • You have to take respect not ask for it!

  • Wow! I hadn't thought of that - that cops protect neo nazi's in the name of free speech. WTF!!??!!?? Did you know that some cops disguized as demonstrators initiate violence to give the robo-cops an excuse to attack the real demonstrators?

  • @katydig "Just watch any peaceful demonstration - the police are armed to the teeth & the demonstrators are typically unarmed."

    You know it; I have lived it. At an anti-war demonstration during Pres. Obama's last visit to L.A., I saw cops decked out like they were going to war standing over a group of peacenik Latino kids demonstrating for the Dream Act. I said right in these cop's faces: "You guys are total coward assholes!"

    Of course, cops turn out in force to PROTECT Neo-Nazi marches.

  • "All those riots". Cleaver is right - the riots are the fault of the programmed police who don't respect our founding principles (individual liberty, etc.). They are the real gangsters (and their higher-ups). They are the real criminals. Just watch any peaceful demonstration - the police are armed to the teeth and the demonstrators are typically unarmed. And lately, riot police have been covering their faces. Hiding their identity is proof they're not on the side of right.

  • @3244gorilla "2 our right, 150 yrds away, EC led Pro-Reagen rally, spprtng the Sandanista regime."

    Anyone who was pro-Reagan in 1980 was not a Sadinista supporter. The Sadinistas were the Marxist revolutionaries who in 1978 ousted the corrupt dictator Somoza. I think perhaps you meant to write "Contras"? In any case, if it was a rally protesting US involvement in El Salvador, Reagan supporters would have supported the Salvadoran government of the day, but certainly not the Sandinistas.
