Redefining Racism: How Racism Became "Power + Prejudice" - Paperback

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.
