I mean we are stuck with blacks here.
Or, they are stuck with you? You could always go back where you came from.
But seriously, this is a pretty vile comment. Did you mean something else?

Nigga you know damn well everybody on this forum left school at least 3 decades before Critical Race Theory became a thing.

Did really mean to say such a horrible thing?

In the 1950s? Just how old do you think the average poster here is?
I've never heard of it until recently through talking heads only, never through academic sources. I suspect it may be a thing in some liberal arts classes in college and some very few people have been exposed in that way to the concept. But I'd like to observe how frequent such past class attendance is here in the forum.

Well when you consider that it may have been written in the sixties, but it didn’t “become a thing” until last week or so.

of course

My last academic class was 35 years ago when I got out of grad school. Was anyone teaching it then?
However I at least came to know that the system is stacked for some people and against others. There is no other convincing reason for the pervasive and persistent inequities divided by race.
I will say that within the social sciences generally, Critical Race Theory has become a common topic of discussion in graduate level courses since about the early 00's. I suspect that it is not common to dedicate an entire course to the subject, however, outside of the legal discipline in which it originated. This may be changing, as the conservatives have ironically raised a lot of public interest in what used to be a fairly obscure specialty, and university curriculum committees are apt to take popularity in mind in approving new specialized courses. Enrollment is funding.

I'm qualified enough to comment on the theory generally, but that isn't quite the same thing as taking a class. They are definitely over-estimating how commonly this topic arises, especially at the elementary- and high-school level as has been alleged. I know a lot of college professors who've been scrambling for old notes in the last few weeks, anticipating the slough of confused questions from the public.I will say that within the social sciences generally, Critical Race Theory has become a common topic of discussion in graduate level courses since about the early 00's.

If anyone has taken a class where CRT was a major part of the curriculum so they can actually be counted on for reliable info, I think it would be fair for them to answer the op question in the affirmative.
I'm still not even sure what it is. Time to Wikipedia.

That is idiotic and irrelevant. It doesn’t take much to criticise ideas that you don’t understand.Unless you attended seminary and have a degree in divinity, you can’t critique the Bible.

CRT is the television and computer monitor technology that preceded flat screens. It stands for 'Cathode Ray Tube'.
Hope this helps.
A new digital book aims to help parents stand up against what has become known as "critical race theory," or CRT, teachings in U.S. schools.
Critics of CRT, which is formally understood as an academic and legal analysis of race recognizing racism as a systemic problem affecting certain areas of society, argue that the movement is divisive in classrooms and separates children into groups of oppressors versus oppressed, privileged and underprivileged.
"Rejecting critical race theory is one of the most important fights for conservative grassroots since the Tea Party movement," Jessica Anderson, executive director of conservative grassroots organization Heritage Action, told Fox News. "With the e-book Heritage Action is rolling out today, we are giving the power back to concerned parents by equipping them with information on what critical race theory is, how to spot it, and how to combat it in their communities.

There are a plethora of decent think-pieces making the round these days, if you're interested in learning more about CRT. It's a bit of an advanced subject, but not beyond what most adults can reasonably understand if you're willing to wade through a bit of legal jargon.
Fundamentally, though, understanding CRT as scholars discuss the subject will not help you understand American conservative political uses of the term; the two concepts are nearly unrelated.

The problem with CRT, is that it has become a far right extremist scare tactic that is used to inflame right wingers for political reasons. To understand this, a main culprit in all of this is one Christopher Rufo, a right winged activist who has created this disinformation bugaboo and with the help of Faux Nooz and President Trump made it a powerful political movement.

Here is a good start to understanding how this became an issue in far right politics.
