defining terms

Systemic Racism

  • Systemic racism is a core tenet of CRT.
  • It claims that the entire founding of the United States was  based on racism,  including all of its institutions. 
  • It then goes further to say that those institutions must be dismantled if racism is to be defeated.
  • Other names: Structural Racism, Institutional Racism

Anti-racism

  • Anti-racism is a core tenet of CRT.
  • Anti-racists advocate for present and future discrimination to make up for past discrimination.
  • According to CRT proponents, individuals who are against racism are still racist.

Equity

  • Equity is a core tenet of CRT, though it does not have to be applied in a CRT context.
  • Equity is about guaranteeing the same output, regardless of the input.
  • By contrast, equality is about giving equal opportunities, but not guaranteeing equal results.

Intersectionality

  • Intersectionality is a core tenet of critical race theory.
  • The theory ranks people according to their "privilege."
  • It reduces individuals to aspects of their identity, such as race, class, sexual orientation, gender, nationality, disability, and religion.
  • It then claims that individuals who have multiple overlapping "minority" features are extra oppressed.

White Privilege

  • CRT proponents link "white" and "privilege" to the role of oppressor. 
  • By default, anyone who isn't white is oppressed.
  • Other names: whiteness, white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalist oppression

The 1619 Project

  • The 1619 Project was a subversive attempt by the New York Times to reframe America's founding through the lens of Critical Race Theory. 
  • The project scapegoats white Americans as the cause of all of the country's problems.
  • Texas, along with numerous other states, banned teaching this project and its principles.
  • Activist teachers do it anyway.

Microaggressions

  • Microaggressions are everyday verbal or nonverbal slights that communicate a negative message to a person in a marginalized group. 
  • They can be either intentional or unintentional.
  • The scope of microaggressions broadens daily.
  • Microaggressions can be used as part of behavior matrices to track supposedly racist behaviors.

Colorblindness

  • There is no colorblindness in CRT.
  • To CRT proponents, individuals who say they are "colorblind" are racist.
  • "Colorblind" people are denying that they see color, which is racist.
  • CRT claims that not acknowledging skin color is an act of oppression.
