I think we have a big problem with the discourse around CRT. The r/criticalracetheory subreddit recently opened, and it's a shithole of tribalism and virtue signaling by stupidpol types, far right conspirators, bored liberals who just walked in to wave their red or blue MAGAs like it's jury duty, and a noticeable complete absence of leadership or actual CRT philosophers. When I checked, the mod who probably redditrequest'd it did not seem to be showing any power level or political affiliation. I could not determine if the agenda of the sub will be "epic WWF style CRT debates" or actual CRT academic discussion .

and basically nothing else for resources. Any true CRT fans/enjoyers sharing information would be great. Also, IDK if hexbear is pro CRT or divided on CRT lol.

It's a mixed bag because it's such an academic topic that you get a lot of the liberal academia biases. I've read some really amazing CRT articles though that trace the history of race as it exists as a modern concept as a superstructural element generated by the capitalist mode of production. Essentially arguing that there is a hard split between our modern conceptualization of race and pre-capitalist ones which were much more ethnicity/region focused than our color coded system because the economic models required different inputs from the social system.
And then you also get afro-pessimist articles about how everything is racialized and has been forever and will be forever and there can never be change around that subject. Win some lose some :shrug-outta-hecks:
