Basically it discusses critical theory, especially critical race theory, in such a way to try to help you understand what they actually believe. What's happening now is the poison pill of critical theory is reaching critical mass. They've labeled liberalism (in the Lockean sense), philosophy, and science as the enemy (thus masculine/white) and believe in other 'ways of knowing', especially "direct experience" and storytelling. Instead of seeking knowledge they 'problematize' which is described well in that link, it's basically seeking ways to demonize everything.
This concept married with postmodernism and became straight up fucking evil and now it's undermining the central tenets of our way of life. IMO this is the foundational problem, it's the growth of this horrific ideology.
