About that book title...

I bet he won't repeat this stupidity in future elections or similar situations....Steele sorry but the last laugh is at you....

Many of these so called black experts on race will soon find themselves going the way of Circuit City. That many mouths are no longer needed and they all know it.

Shelby Steele is so annoyingly jealous of Barack Obama.

He's always looked down his "special ordered" Half-caste nose at Black people and written the most Non-soulfully...and dare I say IMPOTENT...

Yes, that's it. The most IMPOTENT White-pandering conjecture that he could come up with in dismissing, fracturing and provocatively Half-reporting Black Experience and Black Authentic Identity.

He's part of that great spiritual and physical erasure I keep warning Blacks about.

He's jealous that fellow Biracial Barack Obama, in his lack of fear for Blacks, managed to tap into Human POTENCY (and not impotency) by accepting and loving Blacks for what they are---HUMANS.

The potency I speak of in Blacks....being that livewire that gives African people their innate "Cool" factor.

Shelby doesn't have that, because he so despises us all for not living up to his White mother's romanticized expectation of what we---the 'pritty blacks' she was always so good to (I GAVE UP MY GOOD CLEAN WHITENESS FOR THOSE PEOPLE! I WAS GOOD TO THOSE PEOPLE!)---should be.

Tisk, tisk...all that potential wasted like sugar on his mother's good WOOD floor. So annoying to walk on.

He had to put on SHOES just to suffer us!

And as his books constanstly attest...we're insufferable!

So you see, he can't fathom this monumental display of a "black-identified" African American (Barack Obama) actually making it to the top...as HIMSELF.

Carefully read that last line and let it sink it.

Yes, AS Himself and not the human FUTON (alieving White recourse) that Shelby is.

I happen to love a WHOLE LOT of White People myself (in fact, there's a few Whites who I'd fight to the ends of the earth for)...But I'm not about to tell them LIES; what they want to hear...in their century upon century quest to have it confirmed that they're superior and "More Human" than everybody else.

That's for weak bitches like Shelby Steele who DARE...DARE attack Barack Obama.

Spike Lee and Lauryn Hill and Keith Boykin and Halle Berry and Grace Jones are other fine examples of people who dared to not play a game with their identity; but to welcome being maligned and criticized so that they could enjoy the integrity one feels when they make it AS THEMSELVES.

Though many (including blood-thirsty gay haters) have so fiendishly tried to alter and define who I am to fit their own dramatic gossip and hate--I am also someone of this ilk; someone supremely hated for no other reason than daring to demand my real identity and not water it down.

This is why I don't respect Shelby Steele...never have.

He's a hateful, spinless sell out.

So spineless, in fact, I always imagine him giving himself a blowjob. (Perfectly ENRAGED that he doesn't need me to do it!)....HA,HA,HA...it's the Bette in me that can't resist a good joke. But anyway.

Jerking himself a soda...

Which befits him now that Barack Obama's Presidency has put his SHAM of a book up to the light for what it really is...a SHAM of a book...by a half-baked HAM.

Keith Boykin don't you dare remove my comments, love! Don't you dare!

Obama's had no time to do anything in the White House...yet he's so maliciously and unfairly attacked by this jealous Twerp.

GIVE OBAMA A CHANCE for Godsakes! Stop declaring him the ANTI-CHRIST just because he had the Balls and the personal MAGIC to rise up and do something in this world!

I hope my comments will find Shelby Ham and provide him with a taste of what that sting he's giving Obama is like, because truly...

Shelby's a weak little bitch who isn't fit to mop Obama's Portico let alone be-damn him as some "flake" who doesn't belong in the White House!

Tell me WHO then belongs there?

Great post Kola.

Kola said it all....! Haters like Steele will continue to hate, that's what they do!

Some things are not worth commenting on. Shelby Stelle: "Open mouth, insert foot"!!

Shelby Steel, yet another self hating, pitful soul paid by the GOP, this book wasn't going to sell in the first place and even less so know, LOL!

Shame. What a pity. Even if he was trying to play it safe, so as not to be too dissapointed in the end, he should not have put those feelings out in the public. That title was a curse. Although it's fair to say that many of us were still very very scared something was going to happen right up until the last ballot was cast, counted and published. Who would not have been?

This website is in trouble. The collective "one think", the gushing ad nasuem, etc. It's become the Obama Chior, meanwhile there are tough issues on the table you are ignoring Keith Boykin. Obama seeking to have Bush bail out Detroit is outrageous. Obama is not taking political positions, seeking action from Bush, etc. Can the Obama "gushing" end and can you address some of the tough issues going forward? Another example is OBAMA directly instructing for CT Senator Joe Leiberman to be allowed to retain his current standing, etc. Obama is directly countering the prevailing wish of the Democratic Party. Why the silence Keith on real issues that matter? Obama has already taken controversial political positions, yet this blog sit does not address them. Why is that? Seems to me you are working to preserve the Obama "one think" and not allow countering views on Obama. You are not going a good job in slanting the Obama talk around here Keith.
