CRT argues that racial remedies for equality can happen only if these remedies benefit White people and their interests. Derrick Bell called this proposition “interest convergence.” A good example of interest convergence is school desegregation: a disproportionate amount of money that went to desegregating schools in the South during the late 1950s and 1960s was directed toward White schools that enrolled Black children. Thus, White schools profited from receiving Black students, while Black teachers were replaced by White teachers.
