These two statements conflict completely. They can't say "race and racism are complex subtle collective effects", and at the same time say "it's these evil racists doing it all.".
CRT seems to be largely derived from these thingies:
Critical theory - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Critical Theory (capitalized) also refers specifically to a school of thought practiced by the Frankfurt School theoreticians Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Erich Fromm, and Max Horkheimer. Horkheimer described a theory as critical insofar as it seeks "to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them."[2] Although a product of modernism, and although many of the progenitors of Critical Theory were skeptical of postmodernism, Critical Theory is one of the major components of both modern and postmodern thought, and is widely applied in the humanities and social sciences today.[3][4][5]
