Tell it like it is

Contributors

Because the people who tell it like it is that are liked by people who like people who tell it like it is don’t tell it like, wow, maybe not all Mexicans are rapists and bad hombres.

Or, maybe there aren’t very fine people on both sides, on both sides.

Monuments commemorating Confederate Civil War heroes might just be interpreted by some as honoring traitors who took up arms against the United States, so maybe there’s no place for them in public spaces.

Those folks don’t tell it like that.

They’re all like, you’re all up in my grill on what’s important to me.

Women, like, they have a place.

The blacks, whatever.

Mexicans, great at serving tacos.

That’s telling it like it is.

The rest of it, is political correctness, and political correctness is, you know, evil.

Liberals: snowflakes.

Fake news!

I’m thinking, maybe progressives need to be more like the a–holes on the other side.

Tell it like it is.

Seriously, all Mexicans are bad hombres? You’re a racist.

That’s like it is.

Women have a place? Misogynist much?

Bring up Colin Kaepernick at all? The guy hasn’t played in the NFL in two years. You’re picking a fight. A–hole.

Sorry, you’re offended? Snowflake.

I was just telling it like it is.

Happy Holidays!
