I’d say some brief analysis would have helped this bit of research.

It’s important to note that most proponents of these ideas — like critical race theory — are *not* “race essentialists”. Rather, they see racial identity grounded in *history* and experience, not “Blackness” per se. CRT, for example, specifically denies “essentialism”. (See Gary Peller on this.)

Also, Eduardo Bonilla-Silva is *not* a proponent of critical race theory. He is a *sociologist* who writes about “white supremacy” within that discipline. His historical analysis is worth reading as it is an example of *another* approach to the subject that is *not* “CRT”.

Nice work.

Cheers
