Vesla Weaver writes on “Racial Democracy”

Vesla Weaver writes a piece in the New York Times Opinionator, “Is the United States a ‘Racial Democracy?’” with co-author Jason Stanley, that is featured in The Stone, a section of the New York Times blog that focuses on modern philosophy. The authors argue that the high incarceration rates of minorities, particularly black Americans, is a failure of our democratic ideals.
