I think the principle of critical thinking which came about around the 80's was a natural progression of trying to understand the many factors involved in racial relationships between people and society. But CRT like Feminism became politicized and a dogma in Postmodern society. Now rather than being open to the many factors associated with racial differences and disparities CRT takes a narrowed down view that all disparity and disadvantage is caused by racial relationships of power.The basic failure of CRT today (I've said this before) is that it's data is locked to the early 80s. It all worked, it all made sense, it was valid in 1980. But it presumes nothing has changed since then.
In that sense its an ideology, a belief and assumption about how the world is. This has led to identity politics where the measure of a person now is the groups identity rather than individual merit or lack of. Now everyone is looking over their shoulder, being made to feel guilty especially white males. Its a new form of discrimination and only divides society and makes people hostile towards each other.
