In Discussion questions for Chapter 1, the author asks "Is CRT pessimistic?" because racism is ordinary and embedded in society, and changes in the dominant society change racism (not desire for betterment of society). "Or is it optimistic?" because it believes racism is a social construct which can be changed? And the follow-up: "Is medicine pessimistic because it focuses on diseases and trauma?"

“The belief that one can use words to undo the meanings that others attach to these very same words is to commit the empathic fallacy - the belief that one can change a narrative merely by offering another, better one - that the reader’s or listener’s empathy will quickly and reliably take over.” p.34
