A more helpful way (at least for me) in understanding the work that CRT scholars produce is by thinking of it as a Race & Power Framework. Calling CRT a “theory” is not very helpful.

Perhaps the term “theory” is erroneously pared down to “my thought/opinion.” Rather, viewing CRT as a “framework” to analyze race and power in our society can be more constructive.
