In this presentation Shelby Steele addresses the historical changes in society since abolishing the creed of 'white supremacy' in the 20th century. He says that Western institutions have lost moral authority in our culture and this moral authority has 'shifted' to minorities. Now whites and Western institutions are living in fear of stigmatization - they constantly have to prove a negative: that they're not racist. They seek to dissociate themselves from this stigma by giving in to the demands of minorities. This reflexive dissociation has since turned into a cottage industry for race hustlers. 'Civil rights leaders' have increasingly become specialized in the exploitation of white guilt and some have exclusively devoted themselves to the exploitation of this, e.g. Rev. Al Sharpton. (You probably saw him at George Floyd's funeral, running the entire show.)
Shelbe Steele argues that this doting and placating larger white society has set back black Americans for decades. He lists the steep decline in academic accomplishments of black Americans. (You need only look at the George Floyd protests to see white people literally kneeling and washing the feet of black people to see his point.) He says that this process is nurturing a form of black pride that is solely defined by a dependence on larger society. They're the victims, and everyone else (white) is the culprit.
In reality, white people and Western societies have made one of the biggest leaps in changing themselves for the better, with many Western countries being the most anti-racist on this planet. He says that white people have nothing to feel ashamed about and that they should take pride and be confident in their own morality.
White guilt means that you have to prove that you're not guilty. Examples of this cultural pathology:
Note how the black people in these videos think that this is perfectly normal and even justified. These people are so far gone that they assume that this is what they're entitled to.
Similar scenes were found on this forum. Some of the most cringeworthy behaviour and statements were seen in this forum in the last couple of weeks. It's almost as if these users wanted to join the white people in these videos in their obsequious and sickening displays of deference and submission.
