I love the man Eldridge Cleaver. He is every bit like the legend Phoenix who burned with a fire and then rose from the ashes alive, renewed, to lead us with the enlightenment that transcends to our time, that speaks with the authority of having scouted the ends of the earth, seen and heard and then returned with a report to rise above the speeches whose agenda is wild, founded on flailing vengeance. Those people are the ones who are being exploited themselves by the Communist vendor or are the Communist vendor.
Cleaver asked himself, why he was preserved when his friends were killed beside him. Why him? If you listen to the phoenix of Eldridge Cleaver with your heart and intellect, you will hear to consider the wisdom he was meant to bring us through experience, not popularity, not the loudest voice, but with knowing having learned by going places and meeting the world in ways we never will.
Please listen to Eldridge Cleaver 1981 speech all the way through. It has the quality of magnificence.
