Original and well made piece. At times I found myself feeling this film is pushing me towards the 'wrong opinion'. That's to say it feels forbidden to think independently on this matter in this moment in time. I assume most people understand the feeling I'm describing. But Shelby Steele has what seems a robust case, certainly deserving of daylight. The case being that we're misdiagnosing a problem and that Black people are infantalised so that white people can receive absolution; and nothing much ever changes.

Plot summary
Acclaimed writer, Shelby Steele, has long argued that systemic racism is more a strategy than a truth, and that the universal oppression of black Americans is largely over with. But the 2014 shooting of a black teen, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri by a white policeman shook the nation to its core. During Steele’s investigation of Ferguson, America was once again rocked by the brutal killing of George Floyd. Didn’t these killings, and the long list of others like them, put the lie to Steele’s argument?

Very Interesting
Finally the truth...
Wow...this should have been shown on national TV....but no, that would go against the narrative of the MSM. Why doesn't MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, or CNN show this? Instead, they showed the lies of this case that THEY pushed, and people like Sharpton...such as "his hands were up and the cop just shot him"...and "he was on the ground and the cop shot him 4 or 5 more times". Hands up dont shoot. Those were proven lies in this Doc.
Thank you Steele for bringing truth to this case...because no one else did.
A Documentary Everyone Should See
This goes well beyond the case it references, fails to pick a side of the established camps, and asks more of the viewer.... to transcend the question of colour and instead choose character.
You're left wondering why hasnt this been asked before, or perhaps just more eloquently, as it is here
Beautifully narrated, measured and calm.
