Keller: systemic racism is real

'Institutional racism' is real, says Tim Keller, former senior pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City.

The internationally-known pastor, writer and speaker, who was diagnosed last year with pancreatic cancer, was speaking out about the controversial racial analysis tool known as Critical Race Theory (CRT).

CRT is a framework of legal analysis holding that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of humanity but is instead a socially constructed (or culturally invented) category used to oppress and exploit people of colour.
