That's not what Critical Race theory accuses you of. The only point of it it to say that we participate in a cultural system that disadvantages others. You don't have to personally oppress someone, in order to be a participant in a system that does.

And if you think that that system has had no effect upon your views of others, then you are simply not seeing it. It affects everyone, whether we recognize it or not. We just don't think about it consciously. We are blind to it. And that's the point. To raise awareness to those who don't see in in themselves, yet it is there nonetheless.

Someone doesn't have to be overt racist, in order to hold views that do create divisions along racial and ethnic lines. It doesn't have to be overt, as you say you don't oppress others yourself. Yet, if put to the test, are we really that colorblind as we may think we are?
The theory itself is causing division.
And no, I don't see that I participate in any such system.
I think for myself.
