As Critical Race Theory has become a hot-button talking point, the true history and meaning behind the term are quickly being lost. Far from being merely a tool to politic victimhood and blame and shame, this episode argues Critical Race Theory is a critical heuristic and tool to analyze power and understand our history.
We engage the history behind critical race theory and explain how it comes out of a Black radical tradition hostile to the nonprofit industrial complex and simplistic liberalism increasingly trying to co-opt the term.
Finally, we give examples of the REAL critical race theory is being used to address concrete social problems like police accountability.
