An interesting reaction to the decision to add "Philosophy of Race" to the PGR

This comes from Tommy Curry, a philosopher at Texas A&M University:

Black philosophy continues to be lured toward the approval of whites as if their standards and acceptance can/do accurately describe the merit of our work. We have seen this in the work of whites like Sullivan and Bernansconi, and now have it yet again regarding Leiter. They take Black conversations, market them as "legitimate" and benefit from them by controlling the academic "rigor" of the discourse.

(I was directed to this comment by a reader who asked for anonymity--it is found on what had been, until yesterday, the public Facebook page of the "Society of Young Black Philosophers," though I have no reason to think Professor Curry speaks for anyone other than himself.)
