A business run by a sociopath who will win at all costs and, ultimately, envisions themselves driving the race car themselves, running over anyone in their path.

The most misunderstood theory in history.
This theory was meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but apparently a few people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for one to understand CRT, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am referring to the philosophical theory and framework written by Adorno & Horkheimer, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.

An election or succession of governmental leadership where all candidates are of extreme age, leading the question to be not of their quality but of how long they have left to live.

The Race (My Race) - The race (my race) is a metaphor for overcoming your personal inner and outer struggles in attaining accomplishment and success in life. Success in the race is not meant to be easy; it is meant to be hard. So we must develop a mindset to overcome and to always “fight the good fight” with resilience, perseverance, and persistence. The glory is when we overcome our struggles to keep moving forward, forever-evolving and becoming that better person until we achieve our best. The race is long, arduous, and unpredictable, a marathon and not a sprint, but you can win as long as you keep on running (do not ever give up). We can all win the race.
Getting my Master’s degree is my race in life and I am not going to to stop until I accomplish that task. As I run my race in life, I have evolved and become a better person. The race (my race) is not guaranteed to the swift or the strongest person, but to those who endure to the very end (cross the finish line). Used in the writings of The RhymistGift and The Consummate Transitioner and based on the Bible scripture Ecclesiastes 9:11.

Race relations seemed better and less divided a few years ago, back when the Confederate statues were still around. At least back then, even if they argued at times, they were still talking points. Now that the statues aren't there people are expected to forget history, change, and compromise. That won't make anything better. Before the statues were removed people said they were divisive, but race relations seemed to do well. Now that they've been removed, people really are more divided.
Race relations don't improve if people don't get to discuss history from all angles, even the unpopular (unprofitable) ones. As long as one group wants another group to change, forget, or compromise, things aren't going to get better, they're going to keep getting worse. Sometimes (actually many times throughout history) things were already as good as they were going to get, then people were people (doing anything to get what they want, as people do), and they still wanted change, and they thought they could do better, and they all fucked it all up. They were all part of the problem, since everyone is.
