        As you probably noticed, Cylotron mentionnes "tacit racism" as another definition of racism.
        As I am bored with racism, and as I am too lazy to discuss such a wide subject, I limited my participation to the tacit racism chapter.
        My conclusion is that if somedy wants to use the "tacit racism" concept, which has nothing to do with racism, he has better to invent an other word, such as original sin or inherited responsibility or chromosomic BS.

          Now I understand, you just didn't make any sense now

          maybe you are a racist, yes?

              You are likely the only human being interested in knowing whether i am a racist or not. I am so glad that now you understand my writing (even if it does not make any sense), that I tell you : I am not a racist.

                I have, and I do. Unlike many of the polytubbies, I don't really spend all that much time here. Too busy doing stuff in the real world, and all that.

                You obviously disagree with the statement, and you're certainly entitled to.

                        that's why I'm here... not editing a book though, just have time at work. There's down time, so I waste here instead of on writing a book... that's too hard.

                        And how ya doin', Japher!?
                        I'm fine. Closer to you now, here in Cincinnati. One of my coworkers is going to Hilton Head for his vacation, your neck of the woods right?

                          Well...I won't disagree with ya. Writing...UGH...second hardest thing I ever tried my hand at. Not sure why I like it so much....masochist, I guess.

                          Was close, yup. I used to live in Columbia (SC), but the new job (three and a half weeks into it) is in Atlanta (GA). Still not too far tho....and Hilton's a great area!

                          I'm finding Atlanta a....somewhat scary place. I'm a farm boy...LOL...Atlanta is about thirty times bigger than Columbia, which until three weeks ago, was the biggest, most heavily populated place I'd ever lived.

                            traffic sucks

                            I traded in a minimum of 30 minutes for my commute to a maximum of 10 minutes. It's done wonders for my sanity, or lack there of. Just turn on talk radio.

                            never been to Georgia so I can't say anything good or bad about it, though it's not on my list of places I would like to visit

                              As for your writing, I think living in different places will help you with that.

                                Man, I can't say I blame you there. Far as I can tell, there are basically three "regions" in GA....

                                The beginnings of the Appalachian Trail (quite beautiful, and definitely worth seeing)

                                Swamp (seems to be at least 80% of the state, but this is prolly inaccurate)

                                Atlanta itself (too big for my liking, and too much traffic! 1.5 hour commute in the morning--alarm set for 4:30am, beating the rush in, and 2+ hours in the afternoon. Suckville. )

                                But yeah...so far, the writing has been going like gangbusters! Just putting the wraps on the next book! (first of what appears to be--at least--a trilogy...we'll see tho....
