A thing in purely academic form, is usually useful. In the instance of Postmodernism, it can be used to understand a text more vividly, and lucidly. It can draw pinpoint precise critical analysis of niche themes in a text, and draw it out and extrapolate on it.
Critical Race Theory, much the same, in a purely academic form is as useful to critique real world inequalities which still exist. However, when these ideas get bled down into the general public---they lose all nuance.
Postmodernism becomes the mistaken belief that reading is a matter of one's own personal interpretation. In the realm of CRT, it becomes the idea that Blacks and Minorities are racially superior, and it instigates race riots and race war.
Both pervert law, as then that populace consensus gets adopted by academics, and the cycle repeats until there is nothing left of either theory's benefits. And all that's left is disorder, chaos and confusion.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
