This man is not a typical nigger, so I wonder is he deluded, or just a con artist? He opposes 'Affirmative Action' but refuses to recognize he has been a beneficiary! And look at how he 'blames whitey' for black failure, just like all the other race hustlers.
This interview is with the 'American' Enterprise Institute, a jew-operated neoconservative 'think tank.'
"Live" with Shelby Steele (http://www.theamericanenterprise.org/issues/articleID.19044/article_detail.asp)
Sixty years ago, Shelby Steele was born to a black truck driver and a white social worker in Chicago. His parents were active in the struggle for civil rights, and encouraged him to make the most of his personal opportunities.
After completing a doctorate in English, Steele taught literature at San Jose State University. In 1990, he received the National Book Critic’s Circle Award for his book, The Content of Our Character: A New Vision of Race in America. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/006097415X/)
Today, Steele is a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, where he focuses on race relations, multiculturalism, and affirmative action. His next book, White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era, will be released in May.
Steele was interviewed for TAE by California-based journalist Michael Robinson.
TAE: Your parents had a racially mixed marriage. You have a racially mixed marriage. ['Jungle fever,' Shelby? --L.D.] How has that affected your views on race?
STEELE: It has given me a profound advantage, because that entirely demystifies race.
My father was a poor black from the South, born in 1900, with a third-grade education. My mother was raised in Ohio with a decent amount of money, and earned her master’s degree. I suppose my father was the more intellectual of the two—he certainly read more books—but I only knew them as my mother and my father. I didn’t know them as emblems or representatives of a race. :rolleyes:
So being raised by them gave me a profound secret that other people who have dealt with race don’t have: I knew that behind the race, there’s nothing other than human beings; :rolleyes: that’s why whenever I write about race, my point of departure has always been human nature.
I understand race, but I better understand the basics of humanity—human motivations, human incentives. No matter what the question is, if you look for answers in someone’s race, you’ll never get anywhere. :rolleyes: [Shelby's answers below demonstate otherwise. --L.D.] That’s one of the real advantages that my background has given me.
TAE: Is bigotry something endemic to the human condition?
STEELE: For every white racist, I’ve met a black one.
TAE: You say many things in black America have not improved as they should have since the 1960s. What do you think happened?
STEELE: Here we were a people who, during the civil rights movement, took charge, [Oh, so the jews who created 'civil rights' and operated MLK's campaign (both behind the scenes and via media control) have disappeared from 'Black History'? --L.D.] fought out a peaceful revolution, and won against a society in which we were outnumbered ten to one.
We won a personal victory, then turned right around and put our future in the hands of the larger society. To understand that, just consider another theoretical option. What if, in 1965, every black person had left America and started a new nation? We would have put all of our energy into education and development ;) —because we’d have had to become competitive with this huge American country. We would have focused on hard work and conservative values. There’s no doubt that our new nation would have had conservative politics. [Please point to a single nation in Africa where this happened. --L.D.]
But we didn’t leave America. We were smack in the middle of a society that knew what it had done to us before. There was a profound amount of guilt. We knew that guilt was there, and we had a U.S. President who was reeling backwards, putting the responsibility on whites to make things up to us, promising to end poverty. We bought into that, and it made us weak. We bought into precisely the opposite of what we should have done.
Our real problem was a lack of development. We weren’t educated. We weren’t competitive. And so rather than really tackle those problems within our group, we just kept saying, “Well, you guys haven’t given us a good enough school yet. You haven’t given us good enough this, or good enough that.” We had this wonderful excuse.
TAE: Which programs failed?
STEELE: All of these government programs were bound to fail from the start, because the people they were meant to serve had not taken responsibility for using them. [So, nothing about the black race inherently tends toward collective failure. It was just the cumulative effect of individual 'sin'? :rolleyes: --L.D.] If you have a good family with a mother and a father, as I did—and most of the people in the community where I grew up did—you didn’t need these programs.
By accepting the idea that government is somehow going to take over the responsibility that only we can take, we relinquished authority over ourselves. We became child-like, and our families began to fall to pieces. [Just like all over Africa, where the same situation prevails, but without free money from whites to subsidize their pathology. --L.D.] Welfare—which promised a subsistence living for the rest of your days for doing absolutely nothing—provided a perfect incentive to not get married, yet still have babies. Then the babies will be state wards, and their babies, and so forth.
The incentive is just to stay in that rut. And so the goodwill of America finally did do to us what slavery and segregation failed to do. [So he blames whitey after all. We 'destroyed' the black race with our goodwill! :rolleyes: --L.D.] It destroyed our family, destroyed our character, and now black America is in a struggle. We struggle to stand up like men and women and take charge of our lives, and become competitive with other people in the modern world. If we don’t do this, we’ll always be behind. But if we do take charge of our own lives, we’ll be men among men.
TAE: So a central answer is education.
STEELE: Absolutely right. This isn’t complicated. If you can’t compete with whites and Asians, you’re going to be an inferior class of people. But we don’t have any of our civil rights leaders telling us that. All they keep doing is making excuses for our failure, for our weakness, for our irresponsibility.
We don’t have white leaders in America telling us that either. President Bush hints at it, but he doesn’t say “Look, I’m talking to you black people. If you want to make it, if you want to stop being behind everybody, you’ve got to become serious about education, without making excuses about bad school districts and how you don’t get the funding.”
For 20 years, I lived on the east side of San Jose, which was a poor black and Hispanic community. When the Vietnamese started moving in, their kids went to the same schools, but these kids—thanks to their parents—were serious about education, and they began getting higher test scores than white kids in Los Altos, the fancy school district. [So when blacks get 'serious' about education, things will change. :rolleyes: --L.D.]
TAE: Let’s talk more about George Bush and the Republican Party. Bush has promoted the concept of the ownership society, and has helped black homeownership, for instance, reach an all-time high. People who own things tend to be more conservative. And Bush has courted the black vote more aggressively than any other Republican President. Yet he’s still not getting it—why?
STEELE: It’s just amazing to me—he keeps getting slapped.
I don’t think I’ll live to see it, but I don’t expect anything to change until the current civil rights leadership just dies off. They’re really past their usefulness at this point, and they’ve become part of the problem. They’re concerned with nothing except keeping their people in the Democratic Party.
The best thing Republicans can do is to not pander to black Americans. The Republicans should say, “Look: this is what we represent. These are our values.” Instead of trying to compete for black votes by trying to be Democrats, they need to stand as an alternative. The Republicans need to argue that they’re the party that’s not preoccupied with race. They’re more individualistic. [Oh, sure, be the party the Jews want it to be: Ignore race, promote 'individualism,' except when it comes to Jews and Israel and those who oppose them. --L.D.] They support ambition—people who want to do things, own things, become educated, move up in this world. That’s what Republicans stand for.
As they emphasize those points they’ll be able to make some inroads to the black community because there are a lot of blacks who really want to be encouraged in that direction. [Just like in Africa... :rolleyes: --L.D.] But it’s going to take a very long time for anything much to change.
The funny thing is, when you talk to blacks who do understand the requirements of freedom, they’re Republicans! That’s who black Republicans are.
TAE: If Hillary Clinton runs in 2008, do you think she’ll take the black vote for granted?
STEELE: If she can’t, then she has no hope for the Presidency. She’s totally dependent on the black vote.
TAE: What if Condoleezza Rice were to run against Hillary Clinton? Where would the black vote go?
STEELE: That would be fascinating. If Hillary runs against a man, my guess is there’s a certain women’s vote out there that will go for her, even many Republicans. But if she’s running against Condoleezza Rice, that would disappear. A large bit of the black vote that Democrats are so desperately dependent upon would also disappear. If Condoleezza Rice ran, she could win by simply taking an extra 15 percent of the black vote.
This is, of course, all hypothetical, because Condoleezza Rice has expressed no intention of running. And even if she does, she may be a lousy politician. But when we look at the cultural variables that are in play, she would be an extremely formidable candidate.
TAE: What is the glue that holds the black vote to the Democratic Party?
STEELE: Politically, black America is almost socialistic. [Just like black Africa! --L.D.] There’s a feeling that the government is the vehicle that’s going to lift us to equality, and without the government, we’ll never make it. Black America has suffered from this delusion since the 1960s. It’s gotten to the point where we’ve now made affiliation with the Democratic Party an aspect of the black American identity. No matter who the Democratic nominee is, they get 90 percent of the black vote in every single election. If you are black and not a Democrat, it’s said you’re not authentically black—the civil rights leadership vigorously enforces that. So you have this disjuncture in black life: we’re culturally conservative, but politically, we are far, far left. [WTF? Culturally 'conservative.'? --L.D.]
TAE: You say that as long as we have affirmative action, blacks will never be able to take full credit for their own advancement.
STEELE: Absolutely. It smears every single black person.
Look at me, for example. My enemies say my career would have gone nowhere without affirmative action. ;) I don’t think that’s true, but because there is affirmative action, they can say that. There are no blacks who are free from that stigma, and that’s a terrible thing to do to people who are trying to succeed on their own. I think affirmative action is the worst cruelty blacks have endured since slavery. :eek: [Oh, whitey is just so evil, giving blacks money and jobs and opportunities they have not, and mostly could never have, earned. --L.D.]
At that point, blacks made the worst mistake in our history: putting our faith in the hands of outside saviors. The idea that somebody else can lift you up, can teach you skills, and make you competitive is just ridiculous. That sort of abject dependence has never worked, and it never will.
Blacks do well in sports, music, entertainment, and literature [Literature?:confused: --L.D.] —because there’s absolutely no white intervention, paternalism, affirmative action, or anything else. We’re asked to compete without any assistance, and sure enough, we compete. We succeed. In these areas, whites never intervene, :rolleyes:so we ask the best and we get the best. But in colleges and other places, there are a billion excuses. Whites intervene and convince themselves not to ask much of us. It’s the same old vicious cycle. [Evil whitey, giving darkies every opportunity to prove themselves, even in places they don't belong. --L.D.]
TAE: Should affirmative action be abolished?
STEELE: Affirmative action and all of its sundry manifestations should be completely eliminated. It stigmatizes all blacks, and it’s not voluntary. One of the real cruelties of affirmative action is that whether we want it or not, it is imposed on us, simply because of the color of our skin. You don’t get to opt out. [You clearly got where you are due to your race, and not your intellect, but now that others point this out you become resentful. Will you now give generously to poor whites who can't get college scholarships because the money is reserved for 'minorities'? --L.D.]
You shouldn’t be able to go onto a campus and have a separate black graduation ceremony, a separate black student union, a black studies department. Why do I get all these racial things, but you can’t have them? Why? [Don't say the word 'jew,' Shelby. Good boy. --L.D.]
White paternalism and guilt is behind it, because it allows whites to effectively take credit for our advancement. Just like slavery, :eek: affirmative action allows blacks to be used, and bestows on us a stigma of being inferior. It’s a stunning cruelty. We ought to be marching on Washington to end paternalism and affirmative action; not marching to keep it.
TAE: My daughters go to a public elementary school in Oakland, and sometimes they come home and tell me how they’ve learned about the litany of horrible things that whites are doing to blacks in America. What can white parents do to combat this without being branded racist?
STEELE: There’s no easy way out of that. That ideology is dominant in most urban public schools, and that’s certainly a factor in why most whites have left such schools, :rolleyes: heading to the suburbs, private schools, and parochial schools. The educational system has been taken over by identity politics, and every identity’s wonderful except the white one. [Shelby himself is an example of choosing a black identity. He completely identifies with blacks, even though he is half-white. Why don't you identify with whites, Shelby? --L.D.] Whites have no right to an identity, to a racial identity. To say I’m white and I’m proud is to be a Klansman. But we encourage precisely that kind of thinking in minorities. How often do you hear, “I’m black and I’m proud?” So white kids are in a very difficult circumstance.
TAE: How does political correctness affect black Americans?
STEELE: Political correctness is an outgrowth of white guilt. It’s a way for guilty-feeling whites to constantly indicate that they’re not racist, not colonialists, not imperialists, not warmongers, and so on. It’s a kind of ritualization of life by which some whites free themselves of the stigma that history has left them. [Thus, Shelby confirms that he agrees with these characterizations of our race, just like the black 'race hustlers' he attempts to distance himself from. --L.D.] History has left whites stigmatized as racists, just like blacks were stigmatized as inferior. Both of those are irrational conclusions, but that’s how stigma works. And political correctness is a way to address that. [Don't say 'jews,' Shelby. Good boy. --L.D.]
