Obviously, the citation is all the times that Emily has insisted it is true, same as always.
Go read the goddamned foundational material on it. I posted links, along with the tenets of CRT as defined by the fathers of the entire fucking theory. If you can't be bothered to actually read the core concepts, I can't help you.
I would like you to post the parts that make you believe the part I bolded. We shouldn't be expected to go on a mining expedition to understand your thoughts.

Principles of the CRT Practice
While recognizing the evolving and malleable nature of CRT, scholar Khiara Bridges outlines a few key tenets of CRT, including:
- Recognition that race is not biologically real but is socially constructed and socially significant. It recognizes that science (as demonstrated in the Human Genome Project) refutes the idea of biological racial differences. According to scholars Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, race is the product of social thought and is not connected to biological reality.
- Acknowledgement that racism is a normal feature of society and is embedded within systems and institutions, like the legal system, that replicate racial inequality. This dismisses the idea that racist incidents are aberrations but instead are manifestations of structural and systemic racism.
- Rejection of popular understandings about racism, such as arguments that confine racism to a few “bad apples.” CRT recognizes that racism is codified in law, embedded in structures, and woven into public policy. CRT rejects claims of meritocracy or “colorblindness.” CRT recognizes that it is the systemic nature of racism that bears primary responsibility for reproducing racial inequality.
- Recognition of the relevance of people’s everyday lives to scholarship. This includes embracing the lived experiences of people of color, including those preserved through storytelling, and rejecting deficit-informed research that excludes the epistemologies of people of color.

tenet noun
: a principle, belief, or doctrine generally held to be true
CRT proposes the TENET that racism is widespread throughout society, law, and structures within the US and is the dominate force that creates disparity on the basis of race. It ASSUMES this as a core belief for investigation. CRT then proceeds to examine the US through the lens of that assumption.
Using CRT, people then CONCLUDE that systemic racism is the cause of disparate racial outcomes.
It proposes systemic racism as the cause of racial disparity, then it finds racial disparity and attributes it to systemic racism. Because it literally assumes that to be true before any analysis even begins. Literally. Those are the literal stated actual tenets of actual for-real taught-in-school CRT.
This is the core concept of the entire study.
Which is also why I'm a bit peeved at having previously posted links and excerpts of these tenets, from the actual real source materials for the entire field of study... and then being challenged to support why I think the actual fundamental stated belief of the field of study is the fundamental stated belief of the field of study.
