Barack Obama is an absolute, to the manor born, bargainer
Desperately hiding from his own subtitle, Shelby Steele grasps for an old fashioned expression for black men who get to live in the manor house. He is perhaps aware that in using it he would blow his cover.
Let us see if I am following his argument correctly:
i - Genial black entertainers who are popular among white people - such as Louis Armstrong - demonstrate white racism.
ii - Confrontational black entertainers who are popular among white people - such as Miles Davis - demonstrate white racism.
iii - Unspecified black entertainers who are not popular among white people demonstrate white racism.
Exit observation: Black academics who are popular among white people - such as Shelby Steele - because they call white people racist are an actual example of white racism.
