Critical Race Theory

Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic framework that analyzes how race intersects with systems of power, privilege, and oppression in society. The Basic Tenets of Critical Race Theory briefly talked about how many present-day people believe racism is declining and going away when this is not the case. Many people believe that since things are so different from how they were in the past or since they have some friends who are POC, racism can no longer exist in our modern-day society, yet as many of us POC know this is not the case. Critical Race Theory could educate the population allowing racism to eventually decrease as time moves forward, but without it, many people will remain and be raised in ignorance.
