The Great Hope

Its unfortunate that the Hoover Institute sees fit to give Shelby Steele pay checks to write these trite screes about race and sex. His inability to overcome his hang-ups about his own racial identity since he has a white mother and black father causes him to try to trash any liberal politician who tries to make a difference. His twin brother does not have these hang-up perhaps its because he is liberal. Obama is an example of what Democrats can do for Black politicians what has not nor cannot do for Black Republicans.
