  Redefining Racism - How Racism...

  Have you heard that racism requires more than just prejudice, but also “power”? 
  Have you been told the dictionary definition of racism isn’t correct? 
  Where did this all come from? And why is it being taught at your school or workplace? 
  The rabbit hole goes deeper than you might have imagined. Joseph (Jake) Klein’s Redefining Racism tells the story of the group of radical white “anti-racist” corporate and high-school educators who in the late 1960s and early 70s, taking inspiration from the anti-integrationist Marxist-Leninist Stokely Carmichael, funded by an organization seeking to pay off rioters to stop, and using manipulative techniques developed in part by U.S. intelligence’s director of the “psychological warfare center for the Far East,” created and spread the “Power + Prejudice” redefinition. And the late famed crack-addicted serial bank robber “Zombie Bandit” played a role too. 
  In tracing the history of this redefinition, Redefining Racism also tells the story of the origins of “Racism Awareness Training,” today frequently called “diversity training,” in the tradition of Robin DiAngelo and White Fragility that have taken American corporations, schools, and universities by storm. 
  Redefining Racism is the definitive rebuttal for why racism is not best defined as “Power + Prejudice” and a damning origin story for much of the modern so-called “anti-racist” movement, reminding us why the best way to be an anti-racist is to look at the content of one’s character and not the color of their skin. 
  “For anyone genuinely committed to realizing an American future where race, racism, and ‘anti-racism,’ cease to be the tools used to divide us, this is an indispensable text. With Redefining Racism, Jake Klein has provided a national service.” — Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of Self-Portrait in Black and White and Losing My Cool

  Some of the Dharma

  Jack Kerouac

  While his masterpiece On the Road languished on the desks of unresponsive editors, Kerouac turned to Buddhism, and in 1953 began writing reading notes on the subject intended for his friend Allen Ginsberg. As his Buddhist study and meditation practice intensified, what had begun as notes evolved into a vast, all-encompassing work of nonfiction into which he poured his life, incorporating poems, haiku, prayers, journal entries, fragments of letters, ideas about writing, sketches, and more. The final manuscript, completed in 1956, was as visually complex as the writing: each page was unique, typed in patterns and interlocking shapes. The elaborate form that Kerouac so painstakingly gave his books is recreated in this typeset facsimile. 
  Passionate, playful, ecstatic, filled with humor, insight, beautiful language, sorrow, and struggle, Some of the Dharma is a far-ranging and extremely revealing work. 
  "Kerouac's work represents the most extensive experiment in language and literary form undertaken by an American writer of his generation." -THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

  Is it possible to live a fulfilling life of gratitude, joy, and humility in a state of grace without religion and a belief in God?   
  A cold hard look at the human predicament of existence in this universe based on the empirical knowledge we have today, Godless Grace uses narrative and poetry to go where people fear to tread. Not an everlasting life in heaven, but a finite life, here and right now. Godless Grace seeks to examine and reinterpret life’s journey from an atheistic point of view to see a life full of possibility and ultimate meaning. 
  In Godless Grace by Michael Terence O’Brien, we experience the remarkable good fortune that this universe exists. That stars formed and brought forth live on this planet. That the cosmic lottery has given us, evolved for us, a brain capable of a consciousness to be aware of it all. We see how to enfold this awareness of presence into a constant source of wonder and exhilaration.
