  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

  Daily, we all experience emotions, both happy and negative. Most of us learn how to control, express, and cope with our emotions healthy as youngsters. Emotion regulation is more challenging for some people, sometimes due to terrible childhood events like abuse or trauma, sometimes due to a biological vulnerability to emotional sensitivity, and sometimes due to not being shown or taught how to manage challenging emotions.We can learn to modify what feeling we experience, how intense it is when we have it, and how we react to it since emotions are not absolute and everlasting. Emotion regulation promotes psychological well-being and aids in the management of bad life events and stress.There are various advantages to having better emotion regulation strategies to handle your emotions. Individuals who exercise emotional regulation are more robust and manage better with life's stresses. They have more effective coping mechanisms and are more tolerant of stress. Emotion regulation is a protective factor against anxiety and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, children who can control their emotions have greater flexibility in their thinking and higher focus, impulse control, and problem-solving abilities. These advantages cascade, resulting in more self-assurance, emotional well-being, and general satisfaction.

  Zebulon Pike: The Life and...

  Given that Lewis and Clark remain so famous, it was inevitable that the other American explorers would be overlooked, particularly William Eaton, the hero of the Battle of Derna in the Barnaby Wars, and Zebulon Montgomery Pike, the explorer of the Mississippi. In the case of Pike, Orsi suggests that the explorer is overlooked and in some cases slighted due to what the expeditions did and did not accomplish. Eaton and Pike represented “the first wave of Manifest Destiny, expanding the republican principles of liberty and citizenship in the world.”[1] 
  	Contrasted to that patriotic sentiment are caveats and questions. The career of Zebulon Pike was “dominated by ambiguously motivated explorations of the American West.”[2] With the procurement of the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the nation, Pike had the full force of American authority at his disposal, and his travels through the Colorado Rockies into New Mexico pushed the boundaries between America and Spain. Captured by Spanish officials for illegal entry, he was finally released back into American custody after a year’s time with a volume of new information on Spanish territory, its economy, and its military configuration. This sparked a debate about whether the capture was planned by the American government itself. 
  	Pike’s return is still debated, as is his relationship with General James Wilkinson and Aaron Burr. The controversy is relevant to Burr’s alleged conspiracy to establish a competing empire in the American Southwest, or perhaps as a way of conquering Spanish America without involving the White House. Pike’s papers, confiscated by the Spanish, have complicated the search for the truth, and any evidence of his complicity remains confidential, in part because of the unpredictable explorer’s unpredictable demise.
