Parnel was my close friend, perhaps my best friend at primary school in Barrouallie. He was then known as ‘PC’- Pernel Campbell. (I suspect that while preparing to take his entrance examination he realised that he was registered as Parnel, not Pernel). Parnel was very good with his hands as we would say. He made sling shots, tops and traps to catch ‘ground doves’. We went looking for tamarinds, rode scooters, played marbles and cricket on the beach. In fact, it is on one of those occasions I realised I could swim since he pushed me off the wharf and smiled as I swam shore. He was very adventurous and had an appealing sense of humour. We passed the School Leaving Certificate and the entrance examination to the Grammar School.

Eldridge Cleaver himself describes the progression of this crisis in white masculinity in the chapter of
Soul on Ice titled, The White Race and Its Heroes. According to Cleaver, by the time the 1960s rolled around, whites were becoming disillusioned with their heroes (90). The successes of national liberation movements in the Third World resulted not only in the formation of new subjectivities among people of color, it forced white men to reevaluate themselves and their identities (Cleaver 91). Young white men in particular were becoming more aware that men who had been held up to them as heroes, men whose masculinities they were supposed to emulate (cowboys, pioneers, founding fathers), were actually slave-catchers, slaveowners, murderers, butchers, invaders, oppressors, deeply implicated in a system of white supremacy based upon foreign and domestic exploitation of people of color (Cleaver 90–92).
