Claude Steele, professor emeritus in the social sciences at Stanford University, has received the Legacy Award from the Society of Personality and Social Psychology. The Legacy Award honors figures whose career contributions have shaped the field. The Society of Personality and Social Psychology is the world’s largest organization of social and personality psychologists.

What I find so hypocritical of Claud Steele and many other so-called Black academics who build their careers on pontificating “Black this and Black that” all the while being married to White women. Talk about being a walk contradiction.
Come on Man.. Come out of the Dark Ages and get a life. “So-called” What books and research have you conducted? “What has Love got to do with it?”
Hey Bob,
Your febblelminded response is indiciative of years of miseducation under the guise of neoliberal education. Let’s be clear “Bobby”! You need to recognize there’s no positive correlation between the number of 2nd rate books or research you or Claud publish and the true freedom of native born Black Americans. In case you didn’t know this fact “Bobby” is that the so-called Black American community have more BA’s MA’s, JD’s, MBA’s, MD’s, and even PhD’s now as compared to 30-40 years ago. Yet, the overall life outcomes for the so-called Black community is WORSE today. Therefore “Bobby”, you can spare me with the “books and research” bloviating because it qualifies as meaningless dribble.
