Rather than attacking this as a PragerU presentation, please tell me how it is wrong. Seriously, I'd love to know...

Why don't you investigate primary sources, rather than PragerU commentary?
The basis of CRT is that white people in America historically created legal, economic and social structures that disadvantaged minorities. That's it.

No that isn't it. CRT is a narrative proclaiming that America was founded to establish and propagate slavery beginning in 1619. Check it out for yourself.

CPT Jack Durish - That is incorrect. If you study the primary documents, that's just not true.
It began in the 1970s when several scholars examined what they perceived to be the stalled progress of the Civil Rights Movement. It was a development of Critical Legal Studies.
What you're calling "CRT" is the interpretation of CRT that's generally held by conservative white people.
Article 1. Section 2, Clause 3 values enslaved black people less than free people. The Dredd Scott Decision made slavery the law of the land, regardless of geography.
While the 14th Amendment did some work to rectify these "errors", the next century gave us Jim Crow, miscegenation laws and other gross transgressions against the uniquely American concept of "...all men are created equal...."
What we think of as "race" is largely a social construct anyway, so if you look objectively at CRT, what you get is the unpleasant truth that people in power tend to mistreat those not-in-power, and thus it has ever been.
Critical Race Theory does not assert that white people--people of European ancestry--are intrinsically bad. Actually, the general assertion is that people tend to be exploitative and selfish.
CRT is an academic examination of how America has fallen short of its own ideals.

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.

I believe critical race theory is abused on group identity and thus follows into Marxists theory that you are either an oppressed person or an oppresser. If you are white you are oppressing people. It is total Bull manure
