For CRTists, in their interpretation, being racist is being evil, i.e. not morally good.
Here are some bits of negatives imposed on whites by Critical Race Theorists,
[fortunately I am not white*];
- As a result, we hear the language of Critical Race Theory from activists in all walks of life ascribing profound failures of morals and character to white people (as consequences of being white in a white-dominant society).
We [the whites] are told that racism is embedded in culture and that we cannot escape it.
We hear that white people are inherently racist.
We are told that racism is “prejudice plus power,” therefore, only white people can be racist.
We are informed that only people of color can talk about racism, that white people need to just listen, and that they don’t have the “racial stamina” to engage it.
We hear that not seeing people in terms of their race (being color-blind) is, in fact, racist and an attempt to ignore the pervasive racism that dominates society and perpetuates white privilege.
We can hear these mantras in many spheres of life, but they are particularly prevalent on college campuses.
Delgado and Stefancic regard this as positive: ...

If you criticize CRT you are a hardcore racist.
Surely the above will make the blood of "whites" boil even as a theory, what more when the above are already smuggled into some vulnerable areas of the K12 curriculum and all of US societies.
* It is also claimed by some CRTists, if you reasoned and do Western Philosophy you are by default 'white' and racist. [WTF!!]
As we will discuss in chapter 8, Critical Race and Critical Feminist Theoretical approaches hold that reason is a Western philosophical tradition, which unfairly disadvantages women and racial minorities.

The above is based on ignorance of the origins of their own field. As I had voiced elsewhere, Bailey in this case is ignorant of the origin of the term ‘critical’ from Critical Race Theory, emerged from Critical Theory of Marx who was referring to 'critical' as in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason.In fact, for Bailey, critical thinking itself is a problem: it needs replacing with “critical pedagogy” (in which the word “critical” means something different).

Btw, the above is from one book only, however I have read of the above views from other CRTists' sources as well.
Your views?
