Critical race theory
social sciences

Critical race theory (CRT) was officially organized in 1989, at the first annual Workshop on Critical Race Theory, though its intellectual origins go back much farther, to the 1960s and ’70s. Its immediate precursor was the critical legal studies (CLS) movement, which dedicated itself to examining how the law and legal institutions serve the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor and marginalized.

(CLS, an offshoot of Marxist-oriented critical theory, may also be viewed as a radicalization of early 20th-century legal realism, a school of legal philosophy according to which judicial decision making, especially at the appellate level, is influenced as much by nonlegal—political or ideological—factors as by precedent and principles of legal reasoning.)

Like CLS scholars, critical race theorists believed that political liberalism was incapable of adequately addressing fundamental problems of injustice in American society (notwithstanding legislation and court rulings advancing civil rights in the 1950s and ’60s), because its emphasis on the equitable treatment under the law of all races (“colour blindness”) rendered it capable of recognizing only the most overt and obvious racist practices, not those that were relatively indirect, subtle, or systemic.

*** Research FACTS, not hearsay ***
It’s not a “Theory” it’s a study of WHITE RACISM in America/USA based on its documented & undocumented history.

Nowhere does it say “ALL WHITE PEOPLE”, it holds up the mirror of FACTS.

The ilk of “Revisionist History” such as the sickening of : United Daughters of the Confederacy (just one example of lies pushed to protect racist insecurities) is over.

P.S.

CRT = Critical Race Facts
