Key Aspects of CRT
Racism is ordinary, not aberrational
White-over-color serves important purposes for the dominant group
Races are a product of social thought and
relations
Intersectionality
: no one has a single, easily stated, unitary identitySlide4
Does racism still exist?
The amount of violent racism, i.e. lynching and beatings, is on the decline
Virtually every study shows that people of color are more likely to be rejected for loans, jobs, housing, etc. than their
equally qualified
white counterparts
People of color lead shorter lives, receive worse medical care, complete fewer years of school, and occupy more menial jobsSlide5
Idealists
Racism and discrimination are matters of thinking, mental categorization, attitude, and discourse
Race is a social construction, not a biological reality
Through change in
thinking,
racism can be eliminatedSlide6
Realists
Attitudes and words are important
Racism is more than having unfavorable impressions of people
Racism is a means by which society allocates privileges and status
Materialist – Demonization of conquered people allows for exploitation.
