“Respect” is a fine film; it compellingly depicts the formative years of one of America’s most beloved recording and concert artists. But this is more than just a pretty picture. Is “Respect” the anecdote to CRT? “Respect” detonates the core tenets of critical race theory. “Respect” spans the early 1950s to the early 70s. We meet young Aretha as a little girl who sings to a group of adult guests in the Detroit home of her father, Baptist minister C. L. Franklin. Reverend Franklin’s living room is filled with several dozen of his and Mama Franklin’s friends and loved ones. They are sharply dressed professionals. The men sport suits. The women sparkle in gowns. They’re elegant, poised, well spoken, educated, and prosperous. Even when things were terrible for so many African-Americans in the 1950s, they held their heads high, with dignity.
