Nearly six decades after the end of Jim Crow, are black Americans still oppressed? Does a persistent focus on racism as the sole cause of inequality help or harm the advancement of black Americans? Ian Rowe and Shelby Steele discussed these questions and more. Steele argued that racism is not the primary challenge facing black people in this country today, but rather the question of how to steward freedom. He argued that denial is often the first response to freedom, and that social reform efforts in recent decades have been more effective in giving white people relief from the charge of racism than they have in encouraging the development of black people.
