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.”

This is true. I saw a statue forcing all of these people into the poor house. The statue had been hacked by Russians, of course.

It’s a statue of limitations!

Force those nasty white citizens in CA, what’s left of them, to take in these poor black homeless people. Got a spare bedroom? It’ll get assigned. Then get ready for forced pledges, reparations, etc.

Institutional racism. Systematic racism. Whatever — falsehoods that have no intention of benefiting the average Black family.

The Hateful Left promoting the BLM Marxism has but one desire — and that is to destroy Conservative America.

I wonder how the highly liberal residents of Los Angeles like having their Mayor call them racists.

Racism is the new Global Warming demon for the Left. Soon it will be racist to use white toilet paper. TP will have to go brown. No joke!

Bingo.

I can think of other things that are caused by systemic racism. The sun rises and sets. Water is wet. The sky is blue. The stars, like my teeth, come out at night. The rain in Spain, stays mainly in the plain. I didn’t realize there was so much systemic racism going on. Now that I am a woke MF’er, I am well aware of it. /S

Couldn’t have anything to do with lax enforcement of drug laws, high cost of housing, or surplus of cheap illegal labor.
