I think it's important to point out racist statements whenever they are
made. I am pretty sure that this was not intended as such but you need to
know that it definitely is racist and offensive. How about those millions of
horses, including all of those TWH's who are horribly scarred and abused by
your plain old government issue white man. Would you make the statement that
"I think that if she ever saw a white man (or "honkie" to go along with
stereotype name calling) she'd probably fli[p out"? Of course not. Please
try to be aware of the latent racisim in such statements. We all need to
work toward more sensitivity and understanding to make this upcoming
millenium the best ever.
