[RC] dangerous THEM versus US thinking - LTYearwood

What I've learned from them is they will do anything to win, buy

up all the competition's best horses, and, position themselves

where they can control an International Organization to the

extent where our sport has now become their
 
HOWARD. Do we have to GENERALIZE and border, if not tip over into the realm of RACISM? Because that is what you do when you use the all-encompassing category "THEY."
 
THEY will do anything to win?
THEY will buy up all the competition's best horses?
THEY will postition themselves where they can control; an International Organization to  the extent where OUR sport has now become THEIRS?
Since when does a sport belong to ANYONE? Just because something originated here doesn't mean it BELONGS to US.
Get a grip and back yourself up with specifics and facts -- not fear-based gerneralizations that make you sound like you hate ALL OF THEM.
 
Anyone who knows me for two seconds knows I care about horses more than any sport. But I care about people, too.
 
Why don't we try focusing on OURSELVES since we can't control THEM.
