Thank you. As you know, the critical race theory lens has been officially adopted by the AMA. "The American Medical Association (AMA) today released an ambitious strategic plan to dismantle structural racism starting from within the organization, acknowledging that equity work requires recognition of past harms and critical examination of institutional roles upholding these structures." That's why "systemic racism" and "equity" are official policy and are not questioned. It is the same in the law schools. Probably other professional schools too.
This is not good for the fortunes of black people. This narrow lens prevents us from being free to explore the true causes of things as people of other races are able to. It is intended to "help" us, but this is not help. I like Jason Riley's book "Please Stop Helping Us". I think "critical theories" do shed light on some things, but it is never good to take a single theory as the explanation for everything, or the single lens through which everything must be understood.
