Critical race theory (CRT) is a legal and sociological framework for analyzing how racial power relations in society work to maintain unequal socioeconomic outcomes for people of different racial groups, often in such a way that benefits the dominant racial group at the expense of marginalized racial groups. Beyond merely analyzing racial power relations, CRT also seeks to actively change the status quo to allow for a more equitable society for people of all racial groups.
Origins:
CRT has been influenced by fields such as Critical legal studies and Feminist legal theory and began in the 1970s when scholars and activists sought to understand why the social progress from the civil rights era had seemingly stagnated.
Scholars and authors:
Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Jean Stefancic, Alan Freeman, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams.
Assertions and terminology:
(1) Systemic racism is the default and perpetual state of affairs in society.
(2) Race is a social construct that arose as a means by which to further expand class stratification.
(3) White people have benefited the most from civil rights legislation.
(4) Color blindness perpetuates racial inequality.
(5) Whiteness as property.
(6) Interest Convergence.
(7) Storytelling/Counter-Storytelling.
Disclaimer: These are just the arguments made by proponents of CRT, not universal absolute truth.
Person 1: "Have you heard that they're trying to implement Critical race theory into the k-12 curriculum? How do you feel about it?"
Person 2: "I have heard of it. But since I am not especially educated on the topic of CRT, I think it's best for me to withhold judgement before making irrational and erroneous claims about a concept that I can't even adequately define.

It is a theory about non-black girls involving the wearing of hoop earrings. The theory states the bigger the hoops a girl wears (usually a white girl), the more likely she is to date a black guy. It's usually pretty accurate, although there are always exceptions to this theory.
Sarah has jungle fever and always wears big hoop earrings; this is her signal to men of color that she likes the black D. Lee, a black man, picked up on this and asked her out--they've been dating ever since! Sarah is proof that the "Hoop Earring Theory" is true!

Horrible sitcom made for 'intelligent' people, but really, you only need a high school diploma to understand the jokes.
People who read xkcd and think they're clever for understanding it will love this.
Has the worst laughtrack imaginable.
Sheldon: My new computer comes with Windows 7.
Audience: Laughs so hard that they cough up blood.
Sheldon: Windows 7 is much more user friendly than Windows Vista.
Audience: National reserves are called in to contain the sheer amount of laughter.
Sheldon : I don't like that.
Audience: 6 are pronounced dead by suffocating themselves with laughter.
A real sketch from the big bang theory. The clip is on youtube.

A theory specifically for *pretty* people. These people mentaly think they are so pretty that the only way of complimenting them, is for you to degrade him or hers appearance. Ugly......

The idea that one person might possibly be a lesbian/gay.
The suspicion that one of your friend's isn't straight
Similar to 'The Bendy Theory' which is that one of your friends might be bisexual.
You know your friend is gay and have the suspicion. This is then called 'The Curly Theory'.

NOD Theory was created by an individual during a lecture at University of Canberra. This individual was bored with the content of the lecture and decided to spend the rest of his time picking up chicks, this is how the Nod Theory was created.
The Nod Theory is when you make an eye connection with an attractive young female, look at them for several minutes indicating you attraction, while having a smooth and sexual smile on your face. You later make a second connection with the female and give her the "Nod" indicating, How you doing? Im into you, lets chat!
Bro you know that hot chick in Organisation Performance, i gave her the "Nod" from the NOD Theory Doji created and she was all over me after class.
