CRT is more generally “for the longest time, non-white people have been excluded from civic participation which has led to laws and structures that implicitly benefit white people”.
That is, it’s a concept about political and legal power in the US.
And what’s more disturbing is what the right ACTUALLY means by CRT. They are mad about civil rights AND the historical facts about racism BEING TAUGHT AT ALL. Literally “we don’t want kids taught that slavery and segregation existed and/or that it was morally wrong”.
I think correctly defining CRT somewhat misses the more disturbing problem of “wait, what DO you mean by CRT”.
To be blunt, even this isn’t CRT.
