(NEWSMAX) – Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon and the former head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, told Newsmax on Thursday that critical race theory is a "bunch of garbage."
The Encyclopedia Britannica defines critical race theory as the concept in which race is a socially constructed category ingrained in American law intended to maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites. It holds that the U.S. society is inherently or systemically racist.
Appearing on "Greg Kelly Reports," Carson echoed the definition in the Encyclopedia Britannica, defining it as "an attempt to use race as a mechanism for redefining our society. Redefining what it was based on, and how it impacts everybody. And it wants our people to believe that your race is the most critical determinant of who you are and what happens to you and our society. In other words, it's a bunch of garbage."
