Thanks. Shelby Steele has been a different voice in the African American community for a long time. He is the kind of intellectual that Obama could only wish to be.

I like the empty suit analogy better for Obama and the left in general. Other than expanding government, there’s no there there as in definitively fixing any problem with endless utopian solutions and more taxes. At least the GOP ended slavery.

I have long been a fan of Shelby Steele's. This thoughtful article is a very welcome addition to the ongoing discussion about our mysterious President.

WIKIPEDIA-Steele was born to a black father and a white mother. His father, Shelby, Sr., a black truck driver, met his mother, Ruth, a white social worker, while working for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). His twin brother is Columbia University Provost Claude Steele.

Mr Steele is bi-racial same as Obama but actually has real slave blood in him. While Obama is the by product of a Kenyan student who was just passing through and an American hippie mother. Shelby is a real American....Obama=post modern faker who would good in a sculpture in the Guggenheim Museum
