Woke in Plain English: "CRITICAL RACE THEORY"
Critical Race Theory
This section discusses the concept of critical race theory and its beliefs about racism.
Beliefs of Critical Race Theory
- Critical race theory believes that racism is the everyday ordinary state of affairs.
- Racism takes place in every situation, and critical race theorists try to figure out how, not if, racism was present.
- Many critical race theorists believe that there can be no actual progress for black Americans.
- For critical race theorists, racism is permanent and ordinary. They are single-mindedly focused on identifying racism and calling it out.
Illusion of Progress
- Critical race theorists believe it is an illusion that African American incomes could be rising.
- If African American incomes are increasing, it's only because white people have allowed that to happen because it served them in some way.
- Maybe it served white people to allow black people to earn more because it discouraged black people from revolting or deterred them from voting for laws that would be in their interest.
Overall, this section provides an overview of the beliefs held by critical race theory regarding racism. It also highlights the idea that any progress made by African Americans may not necessarily be genuine but rather a result of white people allowing it for their own benefit.
