In response to the racist authors post that seems to have been removed: As a historian, I can tell you that racism is a cancer and the very concept of race is a social construct only. That being said, if you want to get rid of racist writings and people, well get ready to say good-bye to a VAST amount of authors prior to the 1960s. We are a product of our cultures, and you have to realize the historical context of each person or writing you examine. If you are on a sports team, you do not have to fall in love with and marry (thereby endorse) every team member in order to work with them and appreciate their contributions. Likewise, you dont have to ascribe to every political/social/cultural leaning that Lovecraft had to appreciate his works. Remove this if you will, oh Powers that Be, but I didnt write the paragraph only to let it disappear into the proverbial Ether. Cheers.
