Critical race theory (CRT) is a legal and sociological framework for analyzing how racial power relations in society work to maintain unequal socioeconomic outcomes for people of different racial groups, often in such a way that benefits the dominant racial group at the expense of marginalized racial groups. Beyond merely analyzing racial power relations, CRT also seeks to actively change the status quo to allow for a more equitable society for people of all racial groups.
Origins:
CRT has been influenced by fields such as Critical legal studies and Feminist legal theory and began in the 1970s when scholars and activists sought to understand why the social progress from the civil rights era had seemingly stagnated.
Scholars and authors:
Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Jean Stefancic, Alan Freeman, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams.
Assertions and terminology:
(1) Systemic racism is the default and perpetual state of affairs in society.
(2) Race is a social construct that arose as a means by which to further expand class stratification.
(3) White people have benefited the most from civil rights legislation.
(4) Color blindness perpetuates racial inequality.
(5) Whiteness as property.
(6) Interest Convergence.
(7) Storytelling/Counter-Storytelling.
Disclaimer: These are just the arguments made by proponents of CRT, not universal absolute truth.

Person 1: "Have you heard that they're trying to implement Critical race theory into the k-12 curriculum? How do you feel about it?"
Person 2: "I have heard of it. But since I am not especially educated on the topic of CRT, I think it's best for me to withhold judgement before making irrational and erroneous claims about a concept that I can't even adequately define.

Get the Critical Race Theory mug.When new players of a football team are required to insert a chocolate cream filled cookies between their butt cheeks and run down a 100 yard football field while wearing a jock strap And whoever drops the cookie before finishing the race is required to consume the ass sweat cookie along with the other losers of the race but the winner is not required to eat the cookie but hey why not it shows team spirit. (in Blue Mountain State this is how Alex Moran, Creg Shilo and Sammy cacciatore are initiated into the blue mountain state football team and for some reason Thad Castle takes part in the race even though he is already part of the football team and he actually wins but still eats the cookie because he's a real ass G like that And to top that all off he's the captain and the best that BMS will ever have.)
Damn did you see that jock strap cookie race last week? Yeah!... It was crazy
Hey I would like become a member of the blue mountain state football team. Ok if you think your BMS material then you need to first participate in the jock strap cookie race. I'll be there.
