How do we know that CRT is not itself racist? No one has given any reason why it's not just as racist as anything else.

Institutionalized racism is normative, sometimes legalized . . .
Isn't CRT "normative" and "legalized"? Isn't it being accepted in Academia, and being taught in the law schools? Isn't its theory being applied in some legal cases? So how is it not part of what is "normative" and "legalized"?
. . . and often manifests as inherited disadvantage.
Weren't most of the CR theorists born into the upper classes, inheriting a higher-than-average lifestyle?
It is structural, having been absorbed into our institutions of custom, . . .
Isn't CRT part of the American structure? arising out of the university/educational establishment? and being absorbed into the institutions and customs? Doesn't that make it "racist" along with everything else fitting that description?
. . . our institutions of custom, practice, and law, so there need not be an identifiable offender.
Doesn't CRT fit that description? being part of our institutions of custom, practice, and law? with its promoters personally not identifiable as offenders?
Indeed, institutionalized racism is often evident as inaction in the face of need, manifesting itself both in material conditions and in access to power.
Doesn't that describe CRT? There are plenty of needs in the face of which CRT is inactive. How is CRT not just as guilty of "inaction" as anyone else? What special action is CRT doing that makes it superior to anyone else? Why can't CRT be accused of "inaction" as much as anyone else can be? And don't the CRT scholars have good "material conditions" and "access to power" which most Americans do not have?
With regard to the former, examples include differential access to quality education, . . .
Haven't CR theorists had better access to quality education?
. . . sound housing, gainful employment, appropriate medical facilities, and a clean environment.
Haven't CR theorists had better than average access to housing, employment, medical facilities and a clean environment? They are probably better off, in this regard, than 90% of Americans. Probably better off than 95% of Black Americans.
So how is CRT also not racist, or a part of systemic racism in America?
The question was asked earlier, how CRTers are not themselves racist as much as anyone else, according to their own analysis of structural racism. And no one could give any answer.
