Is Barack Obama a "Bound Man"

[1879gym]

Dr Stelle's book is intellectual rubbish by a slick opportunist, who’s degreed and has an excellent authoritative disposition. Actually his intent is working even though he wrote a worthless book (which is a huge joke!), but he is making a hunger group of anger men within the popular culture feel better while profiting.

WE DON'T ALLOW FACELESS WONDERS TO COMMENT ON REAL ISSUES!!!

COWARDS SHOULD STAY IN THE BACKGROUND AND NOT BE HEARD. THAT IS WHY YOUR IGNORANT COMMENTS WERE REMOVED.

It's nothing interest'g what Shelby is saying. He's a typical "put down the other brother" to create confusion in the minds of white people, ultimately will draw attention to "myself" The reason y this brother finds it fascinating is bcause he fails to comprehend the stupidity in Shelby's bull. The guy on this vid. looks like a big cup of spoiled chocolate milk who is trying to comprehend something, & can not.

[charlene12341234]

e's the biggest uncle Tom "sale out" I've evr seen. Shelby is a hater and a sale out.

[gringapolska]

He's "Bound" by the men who REALLY run the U.S.

[mdaf30]

This was a quality discussion. Nice back and forth.

[gracer99]

these people obviously didn't read the book: the lady discusses "systemic" racism with the logic being that we need a "systemic solution" but steele refutes all this logic very precisely and convincingly. again, people are being ideological and not rational in there thinking, it is destroying black america and it is making this interaction worthless

[gracer99]

this woman is a tragedy. she says "how can we not hold suspicion of the motives behind every white person we interact with" how paranoid and poisonous is that philosophy?!?! god its so clear she didn't read the book...and then she goes on rambling non-sequitors about statistics infering (not deducing) that it is all because of systemic racism. this lady does not think reasonabley and it is, ironically, her that cannot be trusted.

Shelby Steele - Race and the Obama Campaign - Epic Fail!!! Give us back the crystal ball, right now, hand it over - Give IT, Give IT, let it go, let it go...

[shieldsff]

RAce Hustler....Racial pimp ! Thy name is Shelby Steel. What a sycophant. All that poor 'white guilt'. based on all the murders of unarmed, innocent black men, maybe ShelllllBY, can come up with some other supid, illogical, self-excusing dogma. Idiot

[mvusko]

Steele is a positive role model for the black community. You should not value yourself on atavistic characteristics - that will keep a brother down.

[hypnosquirrel]

steele understands bargaining b/c he understands more than anything his personal relationship w/ white america. w/ respect to the bargainer/challenger framework, he is merely making explicit, for the benefit of white america (and himself monetarily) what blacks already understand but don't readily acknowledge.

[IronHeadHayward]

The book wasnt misleading. You obviously didnt read it nor did you watch the interviews about it. Obama in many ways did exactly what he said. Also not that he later mentioned that the subtitle was something he wasn't happy with at the time.

There were many good points that continue to get missed by both whites and blacks.

[bmstv]

The conversation in the clip above was based off of the Jan 2008 interview he gave with Bill Moyers. If you actual watched this video than you would have realized that We quoted Dr. Steele directly from that interview. Next time do you homework before spouting off you faceless you tube mouth!!!!!!

[selfexplanitory]

He's not bound, he's the 44th president, thanks for the misled book Shelby, lol

[skettle2000]

Obama is owned by the Jewish Elite. Blacks stand up for yourselfs. Demand change in your schools. You are not going to succeed by following the liberal elitist jews. You'll end up being treated like the Palestinians.

[delicateblu]

skettle2000,

WTF?

[akuraoo]

With your kind of reasoning, why don't you just say that the United States of America as a whole is owned by the Jewish elite! It is ironical that you only single out Barack Obama and yet the overwhelming majority of the votes that enabled him to win both the primary and the presidency were non jewish votes!

[Oceanica22]

guys,REALLY, I have many friends in Europe, Obama is a typical socialist. Listen to everything he says,he hates the U.S

SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK, it is a fraud to create a big powerful government and diminish individual freedom and responsibility. It slowly destroys people's self reliance skills.

Don't fall for it.

[PresidentOfTheBlacks]

shelby steele is a disgrace. its men like him that make you think that just because they have a drop of black blood we shouldnt embrace them as black

[snowtrot]

The drop-of-ink mentality largely took shape during the civil war in order to chastise interracial couples and to oversimplify or dehumanize complex individuals of color. To embrace such jargon would only aid in the continuation of that which many blacks so fervently proclaim against—the emboldening of racial lines and boundaries. So, again, why is it disgraceful to not embrace such a system of jargon? That is, why is Steele disgraceful for doing such?

[optimistbre]

I am the "typical white person" with a question. Obama's not wearing a lapel pen I took as a message saying "I am a black person interested in my brothers needs." Why should a candidate be allowed to send such a message to such a limited number if Americans? We are all Americans so why should Obama make a racial issue out of it?

[Jcksht]

the pin issue is not about race, it's about patriotism.

[optimistbre]

I use to think it was but I have to think it was but know I have to think differently. After the last debate to polls didn't hardly move so I guess Obama could be a racist, Anti-American, Anti-Christian, bigot, and a bomber and still become president.

[Jcksht]

i know what you mean.

next thing you know Gov. Ed Rendell will be endorsing Louis Farrakhan.

it's nuts.

[optimistbre]

Your right there

[42vince]

Check the terminology-- "bound" suggesting bondage-- why the negative connotation? We all want to shine but it takes a family to raise a child, a community to support a family, and a nation to sustain the community. Maybe there's an "I" in team after all. Or maybe it's possible for a prospective President to feel "bound" to his heritage. Perhaps he's "bound" in the same sense that Prescott, H.W., Bush Jr or Schwarzeneggar are towards their heritage- Nazi that is

[MalcomAP]

Barack shouldn't be president period end of story his speeches are based on depending on the government which is a major reason why I won't will never & will not consider him electable also no matter how white people look at you always consider yourself as a individual thats how I view myself I threw that black power bullshit out the window a long time ago & when I did get rid of that mentality I found myself more focused so this is my take on this video

[tanio12]

"I found myself more focused so this is my take on this video"

More focused on what? and has far as the government how many us filed our taxes looking for a refund, have people heard of corporate welfare.Maybe people would be more satisified with a tempermental lunatic in office saying we'll be fighting some more wars and guess who will be at the front line. enough said.
