You're conflating intentional racism [X] with systemic racism [Y]. The former was addressed in freeing slave, civil rights act, and the remedy is captured by MLK's judge by character and not color of skin. The latter is CRT and advocate judging by the color of skin and is therefore itself racist.
Oh, so you think you can prove systemic racism? Please do. Do not cite instances of [X], that's different. And do not cite disparities in outcomes as that's not systemic racism either. You need to find causes, and then prove them so.
Advocates of CRT do not even try to prove it, they simply assume it.

Telling kids that they are born racist has absolutely no value.
We all learned about slavery. We all learned as kids that it was wrong. We all learned as kids that everyone was created equal. We all learned that we fought wars with certain people and that we are friends with them today.
You race baiter friends missed that part. They could give a crap about the black population they just think they can get power by telling others they are no good.
What your friends deserve as a reward I am not allowed to say but it isn't pretty.

And that's where CRT activists (in the street, the media, schools, HR departments, etc) go wrong. Academic CRT assumes systemic racism and uses that as a lens to look at law and legal institutions, etc. Activist CRT pins that systemic racism on the individual. It's a categorical error: Systemic racism and individual racism are two different things.Telling kids that they are born racist has absolutely no value.
Moreover what activist CRT says is you were born racist because you're white. Thus activist CRT is racist.

The problem with dismissing the overwhelming data showing discriminatory outcomes in numerous areas (housing, employment, health care, education, etc.) is that you have to pretend that the discrimination is just happenstance or an accident, when that is clearly not possible. When study after study shows that minorities, all others things being equal, are treated worse than whites in all of these areas, it is pretty clear evidence of the continuing existence of systemic racism.
