the philosophers speak

Dr. Vallicella discusses Andrew Sullivan's thoughts on Critical Race Theory. Sullivan's argument has shades of things I've written about the sources of today's crisis (see my posts here and here and here, for example).

Dr. John Pepple discusses the leftist hypocrisy of being for open borders while not wanting more Cubans and Haitians. As for the Cubans, Pepple notes, they're obviously not wanted because they tend to vote Republican. Democrat-voting minorities are preferred.
