Racial Bias and the True Self

I had been planning to put up another post today, continuing this more theoretical exploration of the role of the true self in moral responsibility judgments, but in light of everything that's been happening these days, I decided to put that off until tomorrow. 

Instead, it might be a good idea today just to draw attention to Michael Brownstein's important recent paper on implicit bias and the true self. He argues that it is a mistake to think that we cannot be morally responsible for our biased behavior unless we were able to voluntarily control it. Rather, we are morally responsible for biased behavior when such behavior reflects our true selves.
