Shelby Steele - Modern Liberalism and America’s Racial Divide

~A Russel Kirk Lecture at The Heritage Foundation’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics ~
Today’s racial divide has far more to do with the peculiar strain of liberalism that grew out of the 1960s than with race itself. Americans know, but find it hard to openly admit, that active racism is no longer the greatest barrier to black and minority advancement. Steele discusses the likelihood that today’s racial disparities are due more to dysfunctions within the black community, and to liberal social policies that have encouraged minorities to trade on past victimization rather than to overcome the damage done by that victimization. Still, the assertion that blacks today remain stymied by white racism is a dogma of modern American liberalism that cannot be questioned. The mere claim of racism has become a potent political tool that conservatives have not found an adequate response to. The cost of this failure is great. Redemption - paying off the nation’s sins - has become the moral imperative of the age and the nation’s racist past has destroyed its moral authority in the eyes of many.

[@danielnichols3594]

He's an amazing man along with some other black conservative intellectuals. He could have delivered this lecture in (now) Jun. '20. All the same issues he raises 3 years ago are still here - bedeviling us. His comments on the BLM movement/organization are especially prescient. Choice: I can develop myself as a fully autonomous free person to the best of my abilities or I can take the moral power & virtue that comes from a narrative of victimhood and 'structural' oppression and never develop as a human being. If I fail, it can't possibly be my fault. Someone else is to blame for my shortcomings and lack of success. Marxism/socialism will cure the inequality that exists because others are better at achieving prosperity/popularity in the dominant culture/economic system.

[@burleybater]

Glorious and inspiring. When I was a child I dreamed of freedom. I dreamed of freedom because I was oppressed. When I turned 16 years old, I gained my freedom, and never looked back. That is not to say I did not make mistakes. I made small mistakes, not large mistakes. That was because my oppressor had instilled in me the values, morals, ethics, integrity and sheer know-how....to understand the difference. But even though I had 16 years of oppression, I was not a victim. Had somebody then referred to me as such, I might have been tempted to punch that person in the nose. Why? Because even at that relatively young and tender age, I still knew without knowing, I knew in my bones.....that once you embrace your victimhood, they own you. And who is this "they"? Anyone who can claim superiority over you as a victim, anyone who can make money off your victimhood, anyone who can control your life as a result of your victimhood, anyone who can tell you how to think, what to think.... And why would I have wanted to do that? I had just escaped and gotten away from that. Freedom is a glorious thing. A thing to embrace though it scares you half to death, though it calls upon you to struggle, sweat, bleed, strive toward any dream you dare to dream, and never give up. It is a thing to possess that none can take away from you. It is the very foundation upon which you stand. It occupies your mind, your heart, your soul. It shines before you and guides you in every moment of decision in which you consult your conscience in order to encourage yourself to do the right thing. It is one hell of a thing to trade away for politics, for revenge, for any easy path or small and narrow anti-human self-righteous and justified entrapment within cruelty, fraud, deceit, and falsehood. When I was small, I heard the sound of black men and women, singing about freedom. That sound thrilled me to my marrow, and opened me up to the beginnings of an understanding that has never left me.

[@Gweidemann]

Thank you, Shelby, for adding your voice to sanity. I grew up in a small town in southern Idaho where the only black skinned person I knew was in Tom Sawyer.

Every word that Steele says is pure gold. The more I listen to him, he is quickly rising in my estimation to be on par with Thomas Sowell. And since Sowell is 90 years old, Steele might just take his place as the nation's leading conservative black intellectual, although Walter Williams is also in line for that position. Carol Swain is also rising quickly and will hopefully become a nationally heard voice in the not too distant future.

[@hermitthefrog8951]

31:12 - *"The problem with that is the truth is the only thing that is not acceptable. Reality is the only thing that is not allowed to be articulated."* The truth is being intentionally suppressed by those who wield "the power" (see below). Until the truth is allowed out, no progress will ever be made. *Three stages of truth* : First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. *Thomas Francklin* “Falsehood will fly, as it were, on the wings of the wind, and carry its tales to every corner of the earth; whilst truth lags behind; her steps, though sure, are slow and solemn.” *J Edgar Hoover* - Dir FBI “The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.” *William Colby* - Dir CIA (on Project Mockingbird) “The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” *Douglas Valentine* - Author: The CIA as Organized Crime "Pressures the CIA exerts on the media equals political warfare against the American public." *William Casey* - Dir CIA “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” *James Angleton* - Dir CIA - Counter-Intelligence “Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State.” *Harry S Truman* - US President “I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in 1947, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.” *Wikipedia* - Definition: *Big Lie* A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." Hitler’s use of the expression: All this was inspired by the principle-which is quite true within itself-that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. United States Office of Strategic Services report on Hitler's psychological profile: His primary rules were: - never allow the public to cool off - never admit a fault or wrong - never concede that there may be some good in your enemy - never leave room for alternatives - never accept blame - concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it. *Joseph Goebbels* - Nazi Propaganda Minister “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” “This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.” “...the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.” “Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.” *Wikipedia* - Definition: *Gell-Mann amnesia effect* The Gell-Mann amnesia effect is a theoretical psychological phenomenon, the term itself being coined by author, film producer and academic Michael Crichton after discussions with Nobel-Prize winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann. Originally described in Crichton's "Why Speculate?" speech, the Gell-Mann amnesia effect labels a commonly observed problem in modern media, where one will believe everything they read from a journalist even after they come across an article about something they know well that is completely incorrect. The conclusions found and perspectives portrayed by the author are entirely erroneous, often times flipping the cause and the effect. Crichton notes these as "wet streets cause rain" stories. In short, most eloquently put by Thomas L. McDonald, the Gell-Mann amnesia effect defines the idea that "I believe everything the media tells me except for anything for which I have direct personal knowledge, which they always get wrong." Recorded cases of this phenomenon are rare. One example is that of C. S. Lewis (who did not know of this phenomenon but nevertheless has a case of it). After reading biographical interpretations of his own works and realizing how incorrect they could be, he began to read other biographical interpretations with more caution, aware not to accept everything stated at face value. Michael Crichton concluded in the same essay that there is absolutely no value in the media, as society continues to seek information from the same source that was entirely wrong on the topic in which one retains expertise. He then says that "the only explanation for our behavior is amnesia". Christopher Hitchens once referenced this phenomenon in a town hall speech with the example of the Washington Post, saying that, although things are often biased and incorrect, he and a large portion of the audience continue to get their news in that way.

I think another way of looking at this, is that the kids thought what their parents were doing was evil in the 1960's (even though it was NOT), and yet the parents never resisted the kids. Never put them in their place. Never "spanked" them or disciplined them. The children never had any moral authority to begin with, but they were simply handed it without a fight. The kids were wrong to begin with, and yet they were given the power to overrun their parents. Now we have evil being treated as good, and good being treated as evil. And America will not survive with that belief system. It is now 2020 and I still see almost every single politician (even most Republicans) conceding, giving in, asking what they must do to appease, and how they can "help". And the monster gets fed again, and again, and again.

If you closed your eyes, you would never know you were listening to a ( I hate the word black ) man of color. I really don't like it when black people use ghetto talk (as I refer to it ). It hurts my ears. I know it's a way of separating themselves from whites, but it's so counter-productive. That's why I love listening to people like Allen West, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Candace Owens, Jason Riley, and now Mr. Steele - who I just found. Where are they hiding these people? It's like finding a pearl of great price. Well, I was raised by a woman of color. She had a third-grade education and became a practical nurse as a young woman. She was hired by my parents in 1965 as our nanny about 3 months before I was born. By that time, my parents had six children. Priscilla told my mom - "I don't do windows!" She wouldn't have the time even if she did. She was really cool. She was a bright light in the very dark world that was our home. She became my mother when my biological mother gave birth to me and after my my mother went to the hospital when I turned 8 never to come home again. I was mom's 7th child (my father's fifth - let's see how good you are at math, he-he). Priscilla told me the day my mom had to return to work at the Library of Congress, she handled me to Priscilla and said, Well, she's yours now. And I was. She called me and all my brothers and sisters "my chillins." The girls were affectionately referred to as "silly gals." I was particularly "hard-headed" because I was a pain in the ass, and the "eateness girl," because I loved to eat. She truly was a good cook. Who says you need a diploma to be successful or admirable? She took care of my brother's broken arm after he broke it trying to jump a fence in our backyard. The doctor who set it told our father that she made his job of setting it much, much easier. That tickled Priscilla to no end. Priscilla would have been 113 if she were alive today. I look forward to the day when I can see her again in God's Kingdom. I know she will be there.

It was my first year of Jr Hi and I was amongst a small group of black students attending a school that was predominantly white, and like Shelby Steele said, I was given my freedom and it was up to ME to BEHAVE in a RESPONSIBLE way and Learn to get along with those that didn't like ME......Get the HELL OVER IT!!

Lady’s question late on: ‘is there opportunity in the left having gone too far’. I think ‘Critical Theory’ has taken root like small-cell lung cancer and is far beyond ‘race’ in its corrosive effect on all elements in society. This is an issue getting far to little attention - mentioned almost as a footnote in in podcasts here and there but if we explored its influence we’d be appalled at its permutations. Seeing the world as most all human interaction via the lens of oppressor and oppressed, victim and victor, will do to the body-politic and the social fabric what victimization has done to the Black community. It is the seed for identity politics, and a host of them-vs-us movements today. Get familiar with it. It is your future.

[@Igneous01]

I can't help but see parallels with this 'characterization of evil' in American thinking, and personal self-hatred in the individual. The people that adopted this idea, are probably the same people that developed self-hatred as a result of their traumatic childhoods and upbringing. And all of the policies since can be traced back to self-destructive behaviors in the individuals. America has a self esteem problem, and a self destructive problem.
