Shelby Steele: Claims of 'systemic racism' are 'expanding the territory of entitlement'

"And so when people start to talk about systemic racism built into the system, what they're really doing is expanding the territory of 'entitlement,'" Steele said.

"[I]t's a corruption because the truth of the matter is, blacks have never been less oppressed than they are today. Opportunity is around every corner," he explained, adding that the activists in this case rarely make time for self-reflection.

Steele asked rhetorically whether those who feel oppressed or underprivileged have taken "some responsibility" and taking positive action like examining the education system in their neighborhoods or whether they are pursuing a tangible goal for their life.

They promised if we’d elect a black president, it would end racism. They lied.

The “systemic racism” myth is nothing but a dialectical lever the Left is using to upend the status quo. Generate enough discontent with vague accusations like “white privilege” and “systemic racism” and you can compel people to make changes to “fix” something that doesn’t even exist. But that won’t stop marxists from coming up with “solutions,” most of which involve destruction of the current power structure and redistribution of wealth.

so for me the question is will those judges placed on the federal courts by Trump provide the brake pads to nix this dead in its tracks?
It’s pathetic we even have to entertain this

Systemic, institutionalized racism is a new media buzz phrase now making the rounds. If it exists in our cities, where did it originate? Who is in charge of these places? Oh, that’s right...Democrats. Every city which hosted rioters is under the political control of Democrats.

Systemic, institutionalized racism in every one of these cities is the product of many years of Democrat party leadership. The party of slavery, Jim Crow, the KKK and segregation has not changed a bit.

The only systemically racist organization I know of is the Democratic Party.
