This series was previously paywalled, but by popular demand has been released on the free feed. This is a special 5-part series discussing the evolution of Critical Race Theory from its conception by Derrick Bell to its current, arguably diluted forms as seen by Kimberle Crenshaw and her work on intersectionality or the anti-racist publishing industry spearheaded by thinkers such as Ibram X Kendi. Trevor talks to our guest Dr. Patrick D. Anderson about the three-part article series he wrote for the website Black Agenda Report about Critical Race Theory, and how it gets weaponized and misrepresented by people on all sides of the political spectrum, including those left of center, and why. We discuss what CRT is, what it isn’t, why the CRT as originally conceived by Derrick Bell is still too dangerous decades later to be promoted in earnest, and why neoliberal dilutions of CRT like Intersectionality as conceived by Kimberle Crenshaw are promoted by the powers-that-be instead. Patrick D. Anderson is an Assist
