I was bored and had nothing else to do, so I stumbled upon the Critical race theory (CRT) and I wondered if the theory was invented to increase racism or if it was invented to make spirituality ridiculous, I am not sure between the two.
Some of the claims:

If race is a social construct, you have to look at the social constructs instead of the race. They are not doing it. In that case, the idea to distinguish in race in the CRT makes no sense. Even within the Black and White communities, there is not a unified social construct. They do not even speak the same languages.
The subtle social and institutional dynamics can be disabled. And they know it. As far as I know, there was not a sudden change through homeschooling during Covid, where there was no social and institutional interaction. So the suble social and institutional interaction can be ruled out as wrong.
You have no racial prejudices through color-blind laws. I mean that is the definition of color-blind. Furthermore, if there is a inequality between Black and White people that does not mean that race is the reason. You have to rule out all other factors. For example, you have to compare people based on the culture and social status and not the skin color and there are huge differences between cultures and different social statuses. Otherwise every Black and White culture (for example different countries) would have the same results, but they have not.
That sounds like Adolf Hitler except that race is a social construct. In that case, Hitler would have been right, that overrepresentation and "privileges" of the Jews means that racism was imbedded in the system of the Weimarer Republic and that the system benefits the Jew. But he was not right. You have to examine the reasons of that. That was already done by scholars of the Holocaust, so I do not iterate them. That they dont mention it means to me that they dont want to find a solution.
Furthermore, you just have to harmonize the cultures and social constructs of the races to have equal outcome. That is also not mentioned or tried.
All in all, I think the theory could be invented by racists to increase racism because it does not make sense.
The other theory is that are anti-spiritual:
There are spiritual meditations that increase intelligence and other things, but these things are not mentioned by the CRT supporters.
One example:
I cannot think of an other reason other than that they are intentfully not mentioning those things because they dont want a solution.
What do you think?

Scholars of CRT view race as a social construct with no biological basis.
If race is a social construct, you have to look at the social constructs instead of the race. They are not doing it. In that case, the idea to distinguish in race in the CRT makes no sense. Even within the Black and White communities, there is not a unified social construct. They do not even speak the same languages.
One tenet of CRT is that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals.
The subtle social and institutional dynamics can be disabled. And they know it. As far as I know, there was not a sudden change through homeschooling during Covid, where there was no social and institutional interaction. So the suble social and institutional interaction can be ruled out as wrong.
CRT scholars argue that the social and legal construction of race advances the interests of White people[7][11] at the expense of people of color,[12][13] and that the liberal notion of U.S. law as "neutral" plays a significant role in maintaining a racially unjust social order,[14] where formally color-blind laws continue to have racially discriminatory outcomes.

Otherwise every Black and White culture (for example different countries) would have the same results, but they have not.
Education Week describes the core of CRT as the idea that race is a social construct and racism is neither an individual bias nor prejudice—it is "embedded in the legal system" and supplemented with policies and procedures.
