"Colonizing is not just asking or suggesting people change things, it's changing things to benefit yourself." Michael Harriot helps you understand just how deep America's colonizing roots really go.

"We know that disparities exist and we don't fix them, which is a system of racism." The only way to correct systemic racism is to put a system in place that addresses it. Michael Harriot takes on the naysayers who claim systemic racism isn't real by providing several examples throughout the American education system, criminal justice system, and more that prove that it is. 

"The Supreme Court just said, y'all doing it wrong but they didn't fix it." It's been 69 years since The Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka deciding that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. The decision is considered a cornerstone of the civil rights movement but was it really justice? Michael Harriot shares history about the landmark decision you've likely never heard and explains that while it was significant it didn't go far enough.

"They are fighting against telling the truth. They are fighting to teach kids lies." In the conclusion of this three-part series, Michael Harriot calls out the lawmakers and racist Americans who are pushing the false CRT narrative that is not rooted in historical fact.

"They say critical race theory means America is a racist country. It doens't mean that." As Michael Harriot's series explaining the two CRTs continues, he introduces you to the man we have to thank for the recent CRT movement that is based on lies. He'll explain Christopher Rufo's agenda to rebrand critical race theory and how he's managed to convince dozens of states to follow his lead.

"What most people are upset about is not Critical Race Theory, it's CRT." Did you know that CRT and critical race theory are not the same thing? Michael Harriot, who studied critical race theory, is here to drown out the noise and stick to the facts. In this three-part series, he'll explain the difference between the two theories and why one is something that was manufactured by white people. 

"If some people get to exercise a right freely and in any way that they want, and other people can't, then it's not a right. It's a way to discriminate." The laws and "rights" of Americans are not created or enforced equally. Michael Harriot uses examples to prove why many freedoms white Americans have only apply to them.
