Episode notes
The sudden shift in moral authority from white America to black America in the mid-1960s, noted by Shelby Steele, led to a situation where white individuals started deferring to black individuals due to their moral authority. This shift negated the previous norm of black individuals deferring to white individuals. Steele argues that this change resulted in a societal focus on virtue signaling to prove one's moral legitimacy by being an ally to black people, rather than genuinely helping them. Additionally, the concept of white guilt, as highlighted by Steele, is not rooted in cultural Marxism but emerges from liberalism.
