Critical Race Theory has become the right wing’s new boogeyman, but no one seems to know how to even define it. Leading scholar Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw and producer CJ Hunt join host Roy Wood Jr. to break down what CRT actually is, why it’s necessary, and how ignoring the blowback could endanger years of progress. #DailyShow #BeyondTheScenes

    I enjoyed this thoughtful discussion on CRT. I’d like to see more like this.

    Opponents of Critical Race Theory are challenged to state exactly when true equality of rights, treatment, resources and justice became the reality. “Better than it was”, is NOT the same as “equal”.

    What a great conversation. I love the asbestos analogy.

    Don’t fear the truth. The United States was founded on a culture of white supremacy and white advantage. Starting with the genocide of indigenous brown people and immediately followed by the dehumanization of black people. After that, centuries of government sanctioned discrimination. Racial unfairness and injustice persists to this very day. To deny these truths is to lie.

    Fully support CRT. Preach and do what’s needed to change for the better.

    republicans are screaming and crying about CRT while they are hiding and taking away curriculums that teach kids about segregation and how people of color have suffered in america,, and then they get mad when people call them racist ??

    Black parents aren’t at school board meetings not because they don’t want to be but because they are at work.

    Crying is a woman thing not a white women thing

    White people are the last people that should be trying to play the victim.
