I hate to cite Wikipedia, but this explanation strikes me as very clear: [link]
Some sociologic investigators distinguish between institutional racism and structural racism. The former focus upon the norms and practices within an institution, the latter focus upon the interactions among institutions, interactions that produce racialized outcomes against non-white people. An important feature of structural racism (structured racialization) is that it cannot be reduced to individual prejudice or to the single function of an institution. Like-wise, it is important to note that once a structure is emplaced, its consequences likely will affect the entire population — not just the racially discriminated people.
Will someone please talk me out of buying the dvd set of Planet Earth? It's really discounted over at Amazon right now (only $36!), but I have it burned on disc off of the HD channel, so I don't reallllly need it.
Does it have $36 of stuff you don't already have on your homemade discs?
Kathy, at some point in your life, you're going to buy a BluRay player, and then you'll have to buy it all over again.

Wiser words were never spoken.
Such a good point, Tom! Right--no more buying dvds that I'll be replacing on BluRay eventually anyway. I probably will end up getting that player when LotR gets its inevitable release on BluRay.

I am a bra woman.

Supposedly, Fellowship is out this Christmas season.
I'm not holding my breath, though - that stupid Tolkien Estate lawsuit has brought all LotR movie-related stuff to a great big "WHAT?" state.
Do you'all smell something burning? Because I am. Um, literally.
Um, Gud? Maybe more stop-drop-and-rolling and less posting at this point?

You mean "BRA woman."
