Shelby Steele article on Western Civ-guilt

Here's a link to the Shelby Steele op/ed that Rush has been talking about quite a bit lately. I think it is a profound essay, and I agree with Steele's every assertion, but Steele (who happens to be black) incorrectly--I think, has used the term "white" (as in "white person") where he should use the term "western" or "westerner" (as in "western civilization"). America's success/prosperity has zero to do with race and everything to do with ideas . . . ideas rooted in our Christian and Greek philosophical roots.
