He jabs with precision. Over the years, no one has spoken about race relations more accurately or more sensitively than Steele.
According to Steele, the Chicago-born son of a black father and white mother, America had begun to address the obvious imperfections in its racial history just as "liberals" — a word he does not shy from using — were coming to power.
