The point is that CRT is important because white people have often been fed a version of reality that has been heavily edited to make racism seem less impactful than it actually was/is at best.
If Grandma is telling you that people of color were lesser human beings back in the day or “uppity” and all that scholastic history teaches is “Racism was a thing, but then MLK and it all got better!” It devalues the entire lesson.

My grandma still jumps to the disgusting “immigrants bring diseases with them!” and then goes “oh my look at the time, I need to catch Mass.”
…what the fuck grandma? Jesus means everything and nothing to you?
Hope you call her out on that.
