Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Intersectionality

In this video, we’ll wrap up our discussion of racism-at least for now-and begin to transition to sexism. We’ll briefly discuss Critical Race Theory (CRT), an intellectual movement and orientation for understanding race as it exists in the context of society, and we’ll specifically highlight intersectionality as one of several central tenets of CRT that we’ll refer back to in future videos.
Critical Race Theory (or CRT): A collection of activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power.
Racism is Ordinary: Racism is not rare but rather exists in both explicit and implicit forms across many layers of society; a central tenet of CRT.
Material Determinism: Racism benefits the people who are in power; a central tenet of CRT.
Social Constructionism: The concept of race is socially constructed (i.e., invented by society); a central tenet of CRT.
Differential Racialization: Race is not a static entity, and majorities, minorities, and labels can and do change over time; a central tenet of CRT.
Unique Voice of Color: Including voices of people of color (e.g., in academia) is important to introduce new and different perspectives; a central tenet of CRT.
Intersectionality: People are multifaceted and hold multiple identities simultaneously, and these multiple identities change the way people experience the world; a central tenet of CRT.

Even when the truth is front peoples face, they are unconscious about it.

So I think my question is: if black people get into a position of power do we then attack the black person? Like with intersectionality is the issue that the person is white or in power? Where does privilege come from? Also, I agree with the outline but not intersectionality. Because I believe that our strengths and weaknesses make up who we are not our identities.
How about covering the other parts of the ladder? This is a very interesting theory! I said a long time ago this is kind of like feminism for races.

Yes. I think this issue is one of the main problems of leftists and especially feminist discussion. Especially neoliberal minded people can easily steer the conversation away from "the hierarchy is unjust" towards "we need to help women and minorities to reach the top of the hierarchy." You can often even see that certain politicians like Gerhard Schroeder in germany actively dismantled a lot of workers rights and attacked unions etc. , at the same time pushed career feminists talking points.
