Topic > More than Just a Victim: Critical Race Theory (CRT)

More than Just a Victim After reviewing as much informative evidence as a person, with some critical thinking and a certain level of education, could acquire to see if a comparison between a white woman and a group of 4 black teenagers, which ended in murder, would give different conclusions. One of the first conclusions an individual can draw is whether there would be any difference in the case of an assassination if the one being murdered was the white man? Of course, many people would say there would be a difference. On the other hand, what if the white man had reasons to defend himself, even if he seems paranoid, just for telling the teenagers to turn down the music, which according to the Caucasian individual's version was excessive? Furthermore, what if the now likely sentenced to 60 years in prison for second degree murder and not first degree murder as many community groups have protested, had been the victim of a complex social paradigm that stands between what Is rational and what is not? ?Since a certain but considerable time ago, and due to the characteristics that have passed through the famous 'minorities', various organizations have taken a position in defense of those who could be threatened, in particular of populations that over time have even been slaves and forced servants of the white community. This is the example that has led hundreds of scientists to develop what is now a branch of social-psychological study, which is critical race theory (CRT) and which “In its essence CRT is committed to supporting justice for people who find themselves occupying positions on the margins – for those who hold minority status. It directs attention to the center of the paper…society still has to learn how to be informed and not just run by the media or what “others say” or what “personal experiences” can dictate, which, at times, tends to have more than one purpose and that is not always accurate. It should also be mentioned why try to wage war between two or more groups when those groups know full well that they have the tools to generate violence? Has anyone considered, firstly, the great danger that domestic weapons pose in inappropriate hands? How about asking in a one-sided group to review the use of weapons in our country? As a member of a social community and a minority group, I think we still need to learn more about how to protect ourselves from ourselves. Bibliography Trevino, J., Harris, M., & Derron, W. (2008).
