Noble savage2 quotes
I am as free as nature first made man,
Ere the base laws of servitude began,
When wild in woods the noble savage ran. — John Dryden · 1670The liberal must understand that the days of the Noble Savage are gone; that the blacks do not need a go-between in this struggle for their own emancipation.

Rather, all true liberals should realize that the place for their fight for justice is within their white society. — Steve Biko · 1970Anti-colonialism1 quote
