They're unhappy with one of their own because he isn't acting as someone with his level of skin pigmentation should. I could see this hair-splitting if the term 'oreo' didn't essentially mean "someone who isn't acting like I would expect them to, given their skin color".

Obviously, it would be a different matter if he were ordering all other black people onto prison camps. There would be a line somewhere, past which you could confidently say, "he's a black guy who's anti-black". But I kinda doubt Steele crossed that line.
