From National Review, Shelby Steele can't let it go:
Everywhere I went on my book tour, young people would come up. “We're beyond your generation,” they would tell me. “We grew up differently than you did.” No, I tell them, you didn't. You did not. You are now obsessed with race. Race is the only thing that's driving your interest in Barack Obama. You couldn’t even tell me what his policies are. You’re never critical of him in any way. If you were free of race you would not judge him culturally. You would judge him politically. You just -- you are consumed by race.
Steele is the author of the following books:
A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win
White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era.
A Dream Deferred: The Second Betrayal of Black Freedom in America.
The Content of Our Character: A New Vision of Race in America.
If only you race-obsessed maniacs would stop being infatuated with race, Shelby Steele could stop writing books about it.
