Shelby Steele: Biden, Democrats prioritize virtue signaling rather than 'actual racial reform'

President Biden and his fellow Democrats have proven themselves "expert" at "virtue signaling" on issues of race, author and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Shelby Steele told Fox News' "Life, Liberty & Levin" in an interview airing Sunday.

"He talks the talk of the radical Marxist left," Levin said, "and he not only talks it, he's surrounded by these people and he's signing executive orders and he's issuing fiats that are instituting the most radical forms of racial discrimination." Steele responded that the left's view of racism stems from the cultural shift brought upon by the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. "You had to have a sense that God's hand was involved in social relations and fighting racism and so forth," he said. "And so in many ways, the 60s added this idea of social morality to our culture, and it transformed the whole racial issue in America into something of a morality play, a play of guilt against innocence."
