Lecturer Denounces Terms “Social Justice,” “Inclusion”: Shelby Steele Says Liberalism Deprives Minorities Of “Personal Responsibility”

featuring Shelby Steelevia The Lafayette
Friday, October 6, 2017

A senior fellow who specializes in topics such as race relations at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, Shelby Steele grew up in an era of segregation in the 1950s and 1960s in the south side of Chicago. He lived across the street from white families all his life, but neither they nor his interracial family ever dared cross to the other side. After the civil rights movement of the 1960s, when black people were finally given the right to vote, Steele said it then came time for black people to finally be “left alone,” unaffected by racism and unburdened by the oppressiveness of liberalism.

The Civil Rights Movement: RIP

by Bruce Thornton
Wednesday, October 4, 2017

The Civil Rights movement is dead. This noble effort to align the nation’s laws with the belief that “all men are created equal” and “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights,” was a time when brave black men and women, most of them Christians armed only with the power of faith and principle, endured violence and invective with dignity and grace.
