North Texas professors explain critical race theory


Recommended Posts

Dr. Suzanne Enck is the chair of communication studies at UNT and uses it for classes on social movements.

“I was astonished to see that suddenly CRT is a thing, that people, that lay people are interested in this and invested in it,” Enck said.

It’s not a new concept. It’s been around for decades and started with legal scholars in the 1970s and 1980s.

“They said ‘Great, the civil rights movement has come and gone. There have been all these changes. All these new civil rights laws and yet racial inequality persists. Why is that?'” Krochmal asked.

Both say CRT is less about attitudes like racism and more how race can lead to different outcomes in housing, justice or banking systems and more.

“Critical race theory isn't this theory that says all white people are bad, all Black people are oppressed,” Enck said.
