Critical race theory is extremely nuanced, and it’s by no means monolithic. Just about the only generalization you can make concerning this vast and diverse body of scholarship is that it’s intended to make the world a kinder (or at least less cruel) place. Critical race theory is not a blunt club that you can use to smack people down if they rise too high, and it’s certainly not a tool that should be used to silence minority voices or erase minority representation.
This is to say that I think I’m done engaging with the “critical race” conversation as it currently exists. In this house we practice critical love and appreciation.
