There's a lot of talk about Critical Race Theory, from the theoretical to the hyperbolic.
Please allow me to put it in a relatively simple context, with examples that flow from our lifetimes and the lifetimes of our immediate families.
Imagine, please, two men who served on the same aircraft carrier in WWII, one white and one black.
After the war, they both came home. The white man went to college on the GI Bill, and graduated with a degree in accounting. The black man was excluded from GI education benefits, so he went to work as a laborer.
The white man bought a home in one of the new Levittown suburbs, which were white only, and his loan was funded with a very inexpensive FHA loan. The black man wasn't eligible for an FHA loan. He rented a house and saved as much as he could.
The white man, after a few years, had enough equity in his house to buy a new, bigger house. The black man took several more years to buy a small home in the black business and residential community downtown. Soon after he bought, an interstate highway was built through downtown, right through the middle of the black man's neighborhood. Property values dropped to almost zero, and the lead build-up from car fumes, though he didn't know it, was damaging his young children's brains.
60 years after coming home from the war, the black man's net worth was approximately 6% of the white man's. He couldn't fund his children's education through a second mortgage, because he had no equity. And when he died, he left his children and grandchildren with nothing but debt. The white man, who died just a few days later, left his children and grandchildren with enough money to pay off all the kids' debts and to pay for college for the grandchildren.
The difference was driven entirely by official US government policy, and those who benefited from it continue to benefit from it today. Those who suffered from it continue to suffer from it today.
That's CRT. It says official r****m in this country had a negative effect on those it targeted, and those effects continue to today.
