What is the theme in Soul on Ice by Eldridge Cleaver?

Acceptance is another theme in the book. Eldridge Cleaver admits from the first chapter of his book that he is enamored with white women. He says he loathes himself for that fact, calling it a weakness and even a sickness among black men. While there's no magical point at which he claims to have overcome or cured himself of that desire, he does come to a point of acceptance.
