Critical Race Theory is controversial because it puts whiteness on trial rather than an unjust law. Rather than calling for the abolishment of an unjust law, activists are heard chanting "abolish whiteness". In other words, CRT often describes the problem as a color, not a law

Uhhhh... in this particular context, CRT is more correct, because clearly it's not just the law that's unjust, and the law wasn't created unjust in a vacuum. In a society where everyone is supposedly equal under the law, and yet institutional racism continues to exist, how would you fix that? Pass more laws? I′ve heard people say that doesn't work in any other context, so why would it work in this one?

For instance, Republican appointed judges give harsher sentences to black defendants than Democratic appointed ones. Would you ban Republicans from appointing judges? Force them to treat defendants the same regardless of skin color? How?

It may be an over simplification to address racism by ″abolishing whiteness″, but it's a non-response to say it's a matter of bad laws, because bad laws come from bad people elected by other bad people.
