What Killed Michael Brown? (2020)
Should be required viewing for all Americans
Shelby Steele has pulled back the curtain on the charlatans who define race relations in childishly simplistic terms for their own benefit. He reveals a far more nuanced reality where presumably well-intentioned policies dating from President Johnson's Great Society have decimated the African American family unit and neighborhoods, while public schools in poor neighborhoods have deteriorated to the point where many young African Americans in these areas are not connected to America and its possibilities in a meaningful way. The antebellum slave owners would be astonished at how efficient "help" can be in subjugating a targeted group. Systemic racism indeed. At some point, and despite the phony narrative being peddled by the grievance industry, Americans of all skin colors will realize what Mr. Steele is saying is true. That's the day that all black lives will begin to matter and the country will begin to heal.
