You will not understand Critical Race Theory unless you understand the philosophical foundation that it is built on.  Connect with Me:InstagramTwitter Full Playlist here (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9ck3iE_hIE_7Or1GTiGSMrQNAi9hwNln)  FOOTNOTES: Citing information regarding the papers they submitted-- Daniel W.
