Dr Steele is a former self-described Black Self-Deluding College Radical. After 10 years of deep involvement in the Black protest movement, he realized the problem with Black America is Black Americans, not White America and became quite Conservative.

He holds a Ph. D. and is a retired professor.

Dr. Steele calls himself a "black conservative." He opposes policies such as affirmative action, which he considers to be unsuccessful liberal campaigns to promote equal opportunity for African Americans. He contends that blacks have been "twice betrayed:" first by slavery and oppression and then by group preferences mandated by the government, which discourage self-agency and personal responsibility in blacks.

Heap him in with the others like Mychal Massie, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Star Parker etc. According to the lib masters, these types of people are just licking the white mans boots.

What a fantastic article! Thanks for posting. Dr. Steele points out what conservatives have been preaching for some time now, that liberals equate being black to failure. Liberals thrive on that and codify it. This man needs more press and more exposure on the national level.

I would say thrice.

First by slavery and oppression and then by group preferences mandated by the government, and then by Liberals who purport to champion them, but in truth act as the new slave owners taking from them and giving nothing back except lies and deceit.

Liberals oppress them by keeping them down in a permanent underclass and blaming their failures on Whitey.

Despite this, Steele contends that he maintains “good faith” in America, and though he was not born free, he considers himself absolutely free today.

What does he mean he was not born free?

Shelby Steele argued on Thursday that black oppression is over in the U.S., while calling on blacks to stop blaming racism for their own inability to harness freedom.

He speaks and writes most eloquently. Unfortunately, his presumably targeted audience (domestic black savages) not only can't read, they also can't speak the language.

He needs to have somebody translate his message into street vernacular, or even better yet, deliver it to the dum-masses as "hip-hop".

“Educational disadvantages’ ???

I challenge him on that statement.

Someone has to show me the chairs-desks-pens-pencils-notebook paper-notebooks-lights-heat-teachers-and most of all THE BOOKS that blacks are given to ‘learn’ from, compared to white students.

My father worked at a printing company that printed the USAFI texts & answer books.

My brother had his own graphics company & they did a very large number of textbooks set up & all were triple proof read as a standard. He ran that company for over 25 years, employing about 60 + persons year around. He retired 10 years ago, but textbooks were a fairly large part of his business. I would bet anything I have that he didn’t set up graphics for 2 different textbooks....Never did & never would.

I never have been inside a book store on campus where there were 2 stacks of textbooks-—one for blacks—one for whites.

The FREE CHANCE to get an education is the same for both groups.

The fact that blacks have been steeped in the idea that having an education & not spending another generation living on welfare paid for by the taxpayers makes them an “Uncle Tom” is disgusting & it is time for that nonsense to end.

I want to see a demonstration on a large stage—televised—where a candidate has the guts to pile up all the different supplies/desks/books, etc that apply to ‘getting an education’ into 2 piles and finally opens the door to people understanding that the basic ingredients are just the same.

IF blacks continue to tell their kids that ignoring an education is OK, then they will only sink further into the muck & mire of their own creation. As it stands now, it is a self-perpetuating system.
