Most white people don't want to understand what CRT is, because if they did, then it would be impossible for them to complain that it's being "taught" in K-12 schools. It's easier to listen to what Rafael Edward (aka "Ted") Cruz has to say about it.

Neither do most white people want to believe that we would all be better off if every person had the opportunity to rise to his or her potential. Who knows what advances we have lost because we have stunted the talents of so many generations of people based on their ethnicity or their sex. There are always those who fear that someone else's gain necessarily means their loss.
