  • "Black and Third World people are expected to educate White people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate Men. Lesbians and Gay men are expected to educate the Heterosexual world. The Opressors maintain their position and evade their responsibilityfor their own actions. There is a constant drain of ebergy which might be better used in redifining ourselves and devising realistic scenarios for altering the present and constructing the future."
