Sample Book Insights:
#1 Critical Race Theory is a movement pushed by activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power. It is not interested in simply understanding the world, but in changing it so that it conforms to its vision of power dynamics.
#2 Despite how clear it is, it is still controversial to accuse Critical Race Theory of being a Marxian Theory. However, the evidence is overwhelming.
#3 Critical Race Theory is a form of race Marxism that replaces class with race in order to understand inequality. It believes that the economic inequality classical Marxian Theorists are interested in is not comprehensible without seeing it as another manifestation of systemic racism.
#4 Critical Race Theory is a theory that was developed to shift leftist politics away from economic concerns and toward the politics of identity. It was developed by neo-Marxist and Critical Theorists Herbert Marcuse in the 1960s, and it has been used to push Identity Politics in universities ever since.

#1

Critical Race Theory is a movement pushed by activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power. It is not interested in simply understanding the world, but in changing it so that it conforms to its vision of power dynamics.

#2

Despite how clear it is, it is still controversial to accuse Critical Race Theory of being a Marxian Theory. However, the evidence is overwhelming.

#3

Critical Race Theory is a form of race Marxism that replaces class with race in order to understand inequality. It believes that the economic inequality classical Marxian Theorists are interested in is not comprehensible without seeing it as another manifestation of systemic racism.

#4

Critical Race Theory is a theory that was developed to shift leftist politics away from economic concerns and toward the politics of identity. It was developed by neo-Marxist and Critical Theorists Herbert Marcuse in the 1960s, and it has been used to push Identity Politics in universities ever since.

#5

Critical Race Theory is a theory developed by legal theorists that centers not only race, but also a sweeping set of conspiracy theories about race and racial power in Western liberal democracies. It works like a set of seeing stones that enables people to find hidden racism in facially race-neutral law and subject it to Critical Theoretical revisionism.

#6

Critical Race Theory is a theory that was created to change how people think, and it has quickly spread into other disciplines. It is not, however, well defined.

#7

Critical Race Theory is the belief that racism is the fundamental organizing principle of society, and that this is bad. It is the belief that racism is systemic, which means it is a permanent feature of the system.

#8

Critical Race Theory believes that racism - as a form of power - only flows from whiteness to people of other races. Thus, racism is upholding the existing system, regardless of one’s race and benefiting from the existing system, which, if white, cannot be renounced.

#9

Critical Race Theory is a form of Marxism that targets whiteness and seeks to abolish it. It believes that all white people benefit from a racially stratified social, cultural, and economic arrangement, and work to maintain it even if they are not consciously aware of it.

#10

Critical Race Theory is the belief that systemic racism exists, and that it is upheld by people who do not realize they are upholding it. It argues that regardless of anyone’s intentions or even the lack of any racist individuals, beliefs, or institutions, the system can be racist and is racist if any intolerable forms of racial inequities appear.

#11

Critical Race Theory is a theory based on the idea that white people benefit from the existing system, and thus cannot be trusted to bring about change. Only people of color can bring about change, because they are not impacted by the existing system.

#12

Critical Race Theory is a Marxian racial analysis that believes society is fundamentally organized by racism that benefits through whiteness and that hides just beneath the surface. It is a practice of raising critical racial consciousness.

#13

Critical Race Theory is the tip of a one-hundred-year-long spear that is being thrust into the side of Western Civilization. It is based on the work of Cultural Marxists, and its intellectual precursors.

#14

Critical Race Theory is a totalizing belief system based on a particular and poisonous worldview. It sees everything in society through the lens of race, racism, power, and social position, and it will not rest until everyone else sees the world this way too.

#15

Critical Race Theory is a paranoid conspiracy theory that argues that white people, both historically and into the present, have organized society so that it produces disparate racial outcomes that favor them over everyone else, especially blacks.

#16

Critical Race Theory is a system of belief that believes racism is the main cause of disparities in outcomes between racial groups. It summarily rejects any other possible interpretation for differences in group outcomes, as it believes this is evidence of racist policy.

#17

Critical Race Theory is a fundamentalist religion, both in terms of how it believes and behaves. It is a comprehensive belief system that addresses the fundamental questions of human existence, such as the meaning of life and death, man’s role in the universe, and the nature of good and evil.

#18

Critical Race Theory is a conspiracy theory that claims racism is systemic and created and maintained by whites so they can maintain their privilege over people of all other races.

#19

Critical Race Theory regards white supremacy as the fundamental organizing principle of society changeable only by sociocultural revolution. Not only that, but this understanding of the relationship between race, racism, and power is fundamentally a Marxian analysis.

#20

Critical Race Theory uses its status as a vast racial conspiracy theory to justify much of its behavior, though not explicitly. It claims that systemic racism has already imposed race on those circumstances, so it is simply responding by using Critical Race Theory to racialize those circumstances.

#21

Critical Race Theory is a Marxist theory that attempts to explain the relationship between race and systemic power in society. It is hostile to the core principles and values of liberalism, and it seeks to replace the liberal order with something of its own design.

#22

Critical Race Theory is not just an academic theory, but an activism that attempts to change society. It not only tries to understand our social situation, but to change it.

#23

Critical Race Theory is a system of belief that believes race is the most important factor in determining life outcomes. It is inseparable from Critical Race Social activism, which is the implementation and installation of these beliefs in every facet of life.
