Telling it like it is (without saying what "it" is)

The new rule of racism apparently is that if someone isn't directly addressing a specific group through copious use of a racial slur, then they aren't being racist.

This post that is definitely not racist is going around today (though, like all good Internet memes, it's a few years old). The true bigots, you see, are the ones who cry racism in instances like this.

The good doctor is just telling it like it is.

Which is why I think it's safe to say that I'm just as annoyed by a certain segment of the American population. They complain about how terrible the government is, and yet all of them rely on it. They use public infrastructure every minute of the day and they don't want to pay for it like some leeches. Many of them live solely off government stipends and even use them to buy drugs. They have false teeth and Cadillacs and lavish homes and vote largely based on race. Many of them line up in the streets during the day with poorly spelled signs while dressed in baggy, colorful clothes. They often invoke the spirit of a protest involving a certain caffeinated beverage. But despite constant claims of being Taxed Enough Already, they often have pricey electronics that they bought on credit because they couldn't afford them.

I deal with these people every day. They make me mad.

Here's a picture of me not being those people.

Yep. All American.
If you think I'm talking about that nonpartisan, grassroots group that emerged in 2009 to protest perceived excessive taxation in the Obama administration as a front for racism, well, you're the real hater. I'm just telling it like it is! 

Sometimes, the truth hurts.
