Critical Race Theory & Black Liberation Theology
Critical Race Theory is a “required” course for most majors in 90% of all U.S. colleges and universities.

Critical race theory (i.e., identity politics) is the school of thought that holds that race lies at the nexus of American life.
Critical Race Theory regards white racism as a permanent structural dimension of American society. It is an academic discipline now taught (preached) in almost all colleges.
It challenges students to consider the prejudices that exist in the justice system, and society.
Just like Black Liberation Theology, [which is not “theology” at all], it’s a political agenda that combines Marxist and racial perspectives.
The notions of the social construction and reality of race and discrimination are ever-present in the writings of known critical race theorists, such as Derrick Bell, Mari Matsuda, Richard Delgado, Kimberle Crenshaw, Gloria Ladson-Billings, & William Tate, newly emerging CRT scholars Adrienne Dixson, Celia Rousseau, Thandeka Chpaman, as well as in the writings of W.E.B. DuBois and Max Weber.
Advocates of racial separatism, the proponents of Critical Race Theory have made race/class/gender conflict the centerpiece of their courses, which view legal issues through the narrow prism of identity politics.
They claim that minority status confers the privilege of interpreting the law as one pleases [as well as the meanings of words, as in liberal double-speak]and to reject the distinction between lawful and unlawful activity, regarding this distinction as one of the imposed strictures of an oppressive white society.
The intention of Critical Race Theory is to encourage students, especially minority students, to regard the law not as a body of rules applicable equally to all citizens but rather as a malleable concept, subordinate to one’s perceived identity interest.
