Critical race theory is explicitly incompatible with liberal solutions to racial inequality such as meritocracy and non-discrimination.  CRT's solution to racism is to recreate every personal and civic interaction into one that is explicitly race conscious, which is an idea incongruent with American principles and law.   
Being color-blind isn't the answer. But acknowledge the privilege and oppression caused by racism, and its still-rippling effects, is not incongruent with American principles and laws. That's a major misunderstanding. You can have the law strive to offer equal protection regardless of race, and not have a person's race a factor in court cases and other policies, while still recognizing the impact of racism that does exist.

American civil rights jurisprudence leans very heavily into the notion of a colorblind Constitution, where there exists no distinct race-based classes of citizens before the law.  Critical race theorists would reject this approach as insufficient to correct for racial injustice.  Do you agree or disagree with them?       

That is simply incorrect. Most civil rights jurisprudence dozen fact acknowledged the existence of intrinsic racism oh, and the need to redress it. The post-civil war amendments to the Constitution our fundamental foundation for this
