  Mr. Steele has confirmed everything that I have ever felt all my life but was so scared to say because I was so scared of being called an Uncle Tom. I'm praying for strength and courage be unapologetically conservative. Living in NY, I have to be completely silent about these views of mine. Makes it hard to date too.

  I've see hundreds of videos discussing these issues... this is the best. Its articulate and its strong. Shelby Steele is a gift.

  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.

  Just 10,000 views? A shame, seeing as how Mr. Steele's experiences are quite inspirational. Helps to hear this to remove unwarranted White Guilt and belief in White Privilege.

  Mr. Steele is, IMO, a rare gift to humankind. I greatly admire his straightforward approach to the truths most among us simply refuse to acknowledge. I also find it regrettable that so many willfully adopt a victim mindset, choosing instead to blame society for their personal lack of achievement.
