LOS ANGELES, California — Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti blamed “institutional racism” for homelessness on Friday, though liberal California is one of the only states in which homelessness has been rising.

Garcetti was addressing a press conference to discuss the city’s progress in reducing homelessness during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Institutional racism is a leading cause of homelessness in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles County, where 8 to 9 percent of the population is African American, a third of all people experiencing homelessness are black.”

They never spell out specifics of an alternative system. With concrete examples of where it’s actually been tried.

Their ideas only succeed when there’s a money pot to draw from. But they never seem to be able to come up with their own money pot, do they.

“I’ve seen the homeless upfront
They are largely white”

CORRECT. I’m in Hollywood and they are MOSTLY white. Garcetti obviously is a liar or a total moron who’s never been to a public street alone without his guards.

Just when you think Garcetti can’t get worse, he tops your expectations.
Its hard to figure out which of the big deep blue state mayors is worse, DeBlasio, the black lesbian mayor of Chicago, the lesbian mayor of Seattle, the nasty black woman in DC, Garcetti or any of the others.
They are all equally evil, lawless, corrupt and deranged.

It was never a "homeless" problem. It's a Drug Problem.

Drugs are not "racist." They will take your soul, and don't care what race you are.

I don’t know... I’m thinking it might be more about something wrong with liberalism, Eric.

Every person that yells rascism should be deported to a place that they deem As being racism free. immediately. It should defuse the argument immediately. unless one sid eis just yelling to hear themselves yell.

Garcetti should blame the mirror for “systemic racism”, for all that is worth. He would be much more right than wrong.

Isn't the mayor the head of a major institution?
Is the mayor saying that THAT institution is guilty of racism?
Doesn't the mayor have the power to fix that or is it too convenient to have a "racist" theme to run on year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year?

CA put out the welcome mat in the 70’s and now it is a lifestyle choice no different than a gender choice.
