Rather than attacking this as a PragerU presentation, please tell me how it is wrong. Seriously, I'd love to know...

Why don't you investigate primary sources, rather than PragerU commentary?
The basis of CRT is that white people in America historically created legal, economic and social structures that disadvantaged minorities. That's it.

No that isn't it. CRT is a narrative proclaiming that America was founded to establish and propagate slavery beginning in 1619. Check it out for yourself.

CPT Jack Durish - That is incorrect. If you study the primary documents, that's just not true.
It began in the 1970s when several scholars examined what they perceived to be the stalled progress of the Civil Rights Movement. It was a development of Critical Legal Studies.
What you're calling "CRT" is the interpretation of CRT that's generally held by conservative white people.
Article 1. Section 2, Clause 3 values enslaved black people less than free people. The Dredd Scott Decision made slavery the law of the land, regardless of geography.
While the 14th Amendment did some work to rectify these "errors", the next century gave us Jim Crow, miscegenation laws and other gross transgressions against the uniquely American concept of "...all men are created equal...."
What we think of as "race" is largely a social construct anyway, so if you look objectively at CRT, what you get is the unpleasant truth that people in power tend to mistreat those not-in-power, and thus it has ever been.
Critical Race Theory does not assert that white people--people of European ancestry--are intrinsically bad. Actually, the general assertion is that people tend to be exploitative and selfish.
CRT is an academic examination of how America has fallen short of its own ideals.

I believe critical race theory is abused on group identity and thus follows into Marxists theory that you are either an oppressed person or an oppresser. If you are white you are oppressing people. It is total Bull manure
