Citas de Shelby Steele

• Since the social victim has been oppressed by society, he comes to feel that his individual life will be improved more by changes in society than by his own initiative. Without realizing it, he makes society rather than himself the agent of change. The power he finds in his victimization may lead him to collective action against society, but it also encourages passivity within the sphere of his personal life.

• Con demasiada frecuencia, el resultado de la discriminación positiva ha sido una diversidad artificial que da la apariencia de una paridad entre negros y blancos que aún no se ha alcanzado en la realidad... Las preferencias tienden a atacar una forma de discriminación con otra... La discriminación positiva fomenta una identidad centrada en la víctima y envía el mensaje de que hay más poder en nuestro sufrimiento pasado que en nuestros logros presentes.

• It is time for blacks to begin the shift from a wartime to a peacetime identity, from fighting for opportunity to the seizing of it.

• Parte de nuestra identidad es la idea de que el racismo sigue ahí y de que somos vulnerables a él. Entonces, la pregunta es: '¿Hasta qué punto somos vulnerables? En otras palabras, ¿es realmente un problema para nosotros, o se trata de algo sin importancia? ¿Cómo valora el racismo en Estados Unidos en una escala del 1 al 10? Mi sospecha es que la mayoría de los negros lo sobrevaloran un poco. No quiere decir que no exista, pero lo sobrevaloramos porque este enmascaramiento forma parte de nuestra relación con la sociedad en general. Es una forma de mantener a los blancos en el anzuelo. Los mantenemos obligados, y nos mantenemos con derecho. Hay un incentivo, ves, para inflarlo un poco.

• I decided to live as an individual and as I grew older, and thought more, and read more and experienced more, my views became more conservative. But my group is liberal. Not only that, they say, 'If you're not liberal and not a Democrat, you're not black. If you're conservative, you're a sellout.' Here, then, I'm living with that kind of a pressure against my individuality.

• Lo más importante es que [la investigación sobre la discriminación positiva] ha fracasado por completo a la hora de demostrar que la discriminación positiva cierra alguna vez la brecha académica entre las minorías y los blancos. Y al fracasar en esto, la discriminación positiva tampoco ayuda a los negros a alcanzar una verdadera igualdad con los blancos, cuya medida última es la paridad en habilidades y competencia individual. Sin esta paridad subyacente nunca puede haber verdadera igualdad en el empleo, los niveles de ingresos, las tasas de propiedad de viviendas, los logros educativos y el resto.

• All politicians are going to mask to some degree in order to present themselves in away they think will get them votes. What's different in Obama's case is that he's wearing a racial mask, this 'bargainer's' mask, and I think very effectively, whereby he gives whites the benefit of the doubt. He's essentially saying, 'I am going to presume you are not racist, if you won't hold my race against me.' So, his mask is a distinctly racial one.

• Crecí durante la segregación en un barrio segregado exclusivamente de negros, con escuelas segregadas, etcétera. Me crió un gran padre, mi héroe, al que admiraba mucho. Así que nunca tuve la ansiedad que tendría alguien como Obama. Cuando camina solo por la calle, como nadie sabe quién es su madre, simplemente lo van a ver como un negro.

• I was raised in a completely black world. In those days, if a white woman married a black man, she lived as a black woman, and that was just the end of it. So, I don't have a feeling of being bi-racial. I don't have a connection to it. People often come up to me thinking I do have a connection to it, and I kind of let them down because I really don't.

• Mi problema con Obama es que no es un nuevo paradigma; es un viejo paradigma. Un nuevo paradigma sería alguien como Harold Ford [ex congresista demócrata de Tennessee] o Michael Steele [ex vicegobernador republicano de Maryland], sin parentesco, que se presentan como individuos y no parecen llevar máscara. No 'regatean', no 'desafían'. Así que los veo como algo nuevo y como prueba de lo que espero que sea una nueva tendencia.
