It's not really even a theory. It's more a frame work of discussion about the history of racism in America and it's socioeconomic and legal aspects. It's just another frame of reference for looking at how the system affects people based on race (something everyone already does). 1 1 Link to comment

It's a bit of the Streisand Effect. I wasn't really thinking about this until Tucker brought it up. Now I'm wondering why he's bringing it up. 4 1 Link to comment
