Definitions: Is Critical Race Theory?
In this episode of Black History Buff: Definitions, we explore the meaning of Critical Race Theory, a term that has sparked intense public debate but is often misunderstood or misrepresented. Originally developed by legal scholars in the United States during the 1970s and 80s, Critical Race Theory is a framework for understanding how racism is not just a matter of individual prejudice, but something deeply embedded in laws, institutions, and social systems. It challenges us to think about how inequality is structured and sustained over time. This short episode defines Critical Race Theory clearly and concisely, placing it in context with wider conversations about civil rights, legal history, education, and modern Black identity. It’s a valuable entry point for anyone looking to understand how race and power operate in society today. Whether you are new to the concept or looking for a clearer way to explain it to others, this episode offers a calm, grounded definition that cuts through the noise. Ideal for educators, students, and anyone exploring Black history, African history, and systems of structural inequality one definition at a time. Stay curious. Stay proud.
