Podcast 51: The Formation of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Critics
Finding What CRT Does to Help Us Read History and Its Relations to the Present
Knowing what the founders of Critical Race Theory (CRT) like Kimberle Williams Crenshaw, a law professor at the U.C.L.A. School of Law and Columbia Law School along with many other original writers will allow you to know what CRT really said and how it is being used today. “Critical Race Theory is a method that takes the lived experience of racism seriously, using history and social reality to explain how racism operates in American Law and culture, toward the end of eliminating the harmful effects of racism and bringing about a just and healthy world for all.”
You will learn from this podcast how CRT provides the framework as a way to help the United States live up to its own ideals, or as a model for thinking about the big, daunting problems that affect everyone on this planet. Professor Matsuda said, “We have a serious problem that requires big, structural changes; otherwise, we are dooming future generations to catastrophe. Our inability to think structurally, with a sense of mutual care, is dooming us—whether the problem is racism, or climate disaster, or world peace.
Many scholars from all fields see the advantage of using CRT to transform the United States challenges. So, what is stopping us from using CRT to make the changes. Trump and the MAGA republicans used “well-worn racist stereotypes by castigating Black Lives Matter protesters as ‘thugs’ and falsely accused them of violent attacks on police and private property.” Sadly, One of Trump’s staffers
heard an interview on Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News with a man who had no knowledge of Critical Race Theory; however, he made comments about what was being taught in executive trainings in corporation. His statements were false; however, Trump took this interview and used it to deflect public attention away from racism and to galvanize conservative Americans. They created a campaign that
we see the results today in states dominated by republican legislatures. When you hear what CRT is, you will be able to identify their distortions, and I think you will know that these actions are a blatant effort to gain political supporters. It is definitely not for the betterment of all Americans, and it is negatively impacting our educational system.
The fascinating thing is Trump and his supporters’ actions literally show us how the bans support the view of Critical Race Theory that racism is inherent in the law, legal instructions and social structures of our society. Their actions show how they are a threat to our democratic process and our democracy.
My reasons for creating these podcasts on CRT was a way I could address my concerns of the systematic efforts to reverse the racial collaboration of changes that can help us find ways to address racism and many other issues.
