59: Restoring Justice

Critical Race Theory and the Redefinition of Racism

An interview clip featuring a sociologist explains the framework of Critical Race Theory, which posits that the United States operates under a white supremacist caste system. The segment highlights the linguistic shift where "racism" is expanded to include microaggressions and unconscious social norms. The hosts argue that making the definition of racism so broad and benign ultimately normalizes it and distracts from actual racist acts.
