...book The Content of Our Character, Steele promoted the notion that the U.S. suffers from "race fatigue." America may be tired, but Steele seems exhausted. He now reminds us blacks why we view his analysis as suspect and influenced by self-hate. Steele seems desperate to transfer his racial baggage to Obama.
