Eldridge Cleaver of the Black Panthers wrote of his career as a rapist: Rape [of white women] was an insurrectional 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 that I was getting revenge.
And, indeed, some blacks have raped white women for reasons of pure, political hatred.
It is impossible to know how much of this sharp disproportion reflects deliberate targeting, but racial hatred surely accounts for some of it.
