What school of critical theory is critical race theory an offshoot of? - correct answer
Critical Legal Studies
What is critical race theory? - correct answer A school of thought meant to
emphasize the effects of race on one's social standing. Early proponents argued for a contextual
historicized analysis of the law that would challenge seemingly neutral concepts.
What was Derrick Bell's argument in regards to the American legal system? - correct answer
He argued that racism and white supremacy were defining elements of the American legal system - and
of American society at large - despite language related to "equal protection".
What are two of the most talked about concepts that seem "neutral" but, according to critical race
theorists, reinforce white supremacy? - correct answer Meritocracy and
objectivity.
What is the difference between what Classical Marxism focuses on versus what critical race theory
focuses on? - correct answer Marx focused on the oppression experienced by
workers, critical race theorists focus on the oppression experienced by racial and ethnic minorities.
What are some examples of identity groups and how does your identity relate to these (according to
critical theorists)? - correct answer Gender, race, ethnicity, sexual-orientation,
age, class, and physical ability. These groups defined your essence - you embody your group and
whatever is assumed of your group based off of it's status as oppressor or oppressed, even
subconsciously.
What would critical race theorists say this sentence is an example of: "As a black person in America, I
have never experienced systemic racism. Maybe racism individually, sure. But not systemic. I do not
believe the United States is an inherently racist country." - correct answer
According to critical race theorists, this would be an example of false consciousness. This black person is
blind to their own oppression.
