Anyone who voted for Eric Garcetti should be horsewhipped.
With an actual horse.
Breitbart: 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.”
Describing the problem as “homelessness against black Angelenos,” Garcetti traced the problem back many generations, to discrimination against black veterans in the post-World War II era, to residential covenants that prevented black people from buying property, and to redlining by banks (all practices which have been illegal for decades).
In December, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development revealed that California is “entirely” responsible for a 2.7% nationwide rise in homelessness, which rose a staggering 16.4% in the Golden State. read more
I’m not sure where he’s going with that remark but our homeless population in NorCal is predominantly white. I’m sure his is too.
The guy is an asshole of titanic proportions.
How this moron and bill di blasio head the two greatest cities in America is beyond comprehension. Well, there is obama, isn’t there…
Some power must operate him like a puppet.
Look around LA: MOST of the street characters are white.
Why is it that areas that are traditionally Democratic controlled are the ones with the most serious issues with institutional racism.
Well, it’s HIS institution!
He still reminds me of the creepy, weaselly guy from Battlestar Gallactica.
Yea,‘Institutional Racism’ is a common problem in areas where the Democrats are in power. More so in areas where they have held power for a long time.
LA is less than 50% White. In a city as diverse as LA, the racism ought to be waning. No you Dolt, the problem is you are too permissive and give them too much. It enables them.
In a show of solidarity with Black Lives Matter, my Petey and I aren’t wiping our unbleached elastic starfishes after we launch our dookies until racism is completely wiped off (You hater potaters like my unbleached elastic starfishes pun?) the face of the God’s green Earth! Then, and only then, will my Petey B and I resume wiping our unbleached elastic starfishes after we launch our dookies!
^^^ ENOUGH SCAT BRO,GET A LIFE ^^^
When you lack any sense of morality, responsibility, accountability, ethics, or a system of beliefs that has any efficacy blame is your only weapon.
Mmmmkay. Predominantly white homeless population. What’s his angle? Start a race war within the homeless community? Battle of the shopping carts.
2 of the “conservative” liberal progressives that ClGOP ran for statewide offices since 200 worked for Erics’s gove run!
A third worked for the winner “Gruesome”!
Cal GOP was taken over by hyper liberal progressives 30 years ago. The reason GOP loses statewide is voters must chose between a far left progressive GOP or a “center left” Dem.
Does this top systemic racism? I gots to know…
We got a lot of Bums down here….Lily White.
Garcetti just blamed minorities since LA has been run by minorities for decades.
So Bandini Mountain’s just been renamed Garcetti Mountain?
Mayor Eric Garcetti Blames ‘Institutional Democrat Control’ for Homelessness in Los Angeles
There, fixed it.
Wait! Isn’t the prevailing “institution” in California and L.A. Democrat? Well, that makes sense then. The founders of the KKK, Jim Crow, etc are still at it then.
Another missed opportunity for Garcetti, he was supposed to blame Climate Change.
