Hoover Institution senior fellow Shelby Steele said the protests sparked by the death of George Floyd are about “power” and added that black people have never had more opportunities than now.

Steele, who has authored books such as White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era, joined conservative commentator Mark Levin on his Fox News show that aired Sunday to discuss the racial climate following two weeks of demonstrations and civil unrest following Floyd’s death while he was in police custody.
