YOu may be right, but we aren't parsing our words here as carefully as we should be if we were running for president. Tex is just some schlub that like you and me bangs out some psots between doing other things in ihis work day and probabyl, like you and me, doens't give much thought to the phrasing of all of his comments. Like I said, I suppose you can see rascism in the statement on its face, I just don't think it was intended.
