Let me rephase this sentence:

Although, I admit that for various reasons, I've taken breaks from this forum now and then, I've always returned.

Megan L, yes, I'm aware that there are more races than "White and Black". However, my point still stands that the definitions for and the use of the words "racism" and "prejudice" appear to me to be different in the USA {or at least among African Americans who I know} and in the UK.

Richard, thanks for your compliment. Sleepy Rosie, thanks for your comment.

With that, I'm returning to lurker mode on this thread.

Best wishes,

Azizi
