    Most of Los Angeles would meet the definition of being a shithole.

    In fact many cities run by liberals have become shitholes.

    Ever been to the Imperial County in California ? Real shithole migrant farm worker camps.

    Back in 1969 - 1970 I referred to Vietnam as being a hell hole but I remember referring to a rice paddy as being a shithole because it was a shithole.

    From the guy who literally said the term chain migration is racist. Yeah. Talk about warped and crazy. Black cats are racist too because they represent bad luck and they’re black. Dick is a delusional hack.

    Exactly. Chain Migration has been a defined policy standard for years. Suddenly, this anti-US fraud decides this policy is racist.

    Nothing more need be said about the ethical standards of such a race baiting thing.

    Durbin is another member of the corrupt political class desperate to protect the criminal enterprise that enriches the political establishment.
    Every time they try to invoke these absurd speech codes to punish Trump they further irritate ordinary Americans who are onto the scam.

    Trump said this in a policy discussion between the legislative branch and the executive branch.

    Pitching that as a "behind closed doors" thing is just a total and silly fail.

    Quoting Trump is some sort of scam?

    Why would quoting the president of the USA be unfair or irritating to those who voted for him?

    Durbin is not a credible source. Surely you know that.

    Are you SERIOUS?

    You're going to try to support the idea that Trump didn't say that???

    Then everyone in the room should come forward and admit he said it. The leaker admitted he thinks using the term chain in chain migration is racist. Talk about a ducking lunatic.

    I live in an upscale Seattle neighborhood, and tagging is a problem around here, too.

    As for your first pic, if that were around here the city would drive a sweep sweeper through to clean it up. You haven't quite explained your photo.

    I notice you used the worse of two photos of Skid Row in LA, where income is less than 50% of the cost of living. Why did you skip THIS one?

    Finally, yes, we really should pay agricultural workers more. We should require all employers to be held to legal employment rules, including minimum wages, OSHA, work permit/citizenship, etc.

    Yes, that would raise the price of food. However, right now these agricultural workers are supporting YOUR cheap food by working for crap wages. I don't see any reason to continue your support at their expense.

    So, you're agreeing that those she was addressing are predominantly white.

    I guess that's a start!

    OK, so if we're incapable of understanding racism, how does racism attract us to Trump's messages?

    There are multiple confirmations he used the S word.

    As for the other, it's pretty hard not to take just about everything says as being racist.

    After all, he IS a racist and he makes no bones about it.

    So, parsing his words and trying to figure out which words are racist and which are not is really just plain ridiculous.


    BTW: If the target population of the comment is offended by the words used, it's pretty likely because those words are offensive.

    It's a little like how come up with collective nouns for populations. The population in question gets to have a very serious opinion about it.

    Allow me to correct a few things from your post.

    First, the 1st picture you commented on was likely on one of the side streets surrounding 5th St., the heart of skid row. It actually look quite a bit cleaner than most streets on skid row, so I would guess it's Wall or St. Julien.

    2nd the shot of the Midnight Mission was taken on the North East Corner of 6th and S. San Pedro. That is near skid row, so it's not what your trying to represent. Further, the MM's surroundings are policed by the homeless who are required to do so in order to take advantage of the programs the Midnight Mission offers. The general director is a personal friend of mine.

    Finally, there are laws requiring employers to follow labor laws, OSHA regulations, etc.. Also, The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, passed in 1983 provides for work permits and temporary worker visas.

    So if someone thinks black cats are racist because of the superstition that black is bad luck, it must be?

    OBama is racist because he called his own flesh and blood a typical white person. And Hillary is racist because she claimed she keeps hot sauce in her purse like black people do, because they like spicy food. Using your logic they’re racist right?

    Assuming that your post isn't meant as comedy, how is it that you see everything Trump says as being racist? What exactly is the mindset that is required to see the world that way?

    I appreciate the fact that you can find some specific blocks where things are pretty bad, especially when the area has such tiny level of income.

    The fact still remains that agricultural workers get very low pay for a number of reasons, including having to compete with illegal labor and exemptions from various laws.

    I don’t know. Why don’t you tell us what she meant? She apparently said only the bad ones are deplorable. Funny, let’s reverse that... Like when Trump ONLY called illegal Mexicans who rape and kill people, rapists and murderers. But somehow Liberals claimed he was referring to ALL Mexicans. I’ll assume the worst, because **** why not? That’s all Liberals do. Hillary was ONLY referring to white people which makes her racist and if I say it, it shall be true...according to Liberals. :) Because if a person thinks it’s racsit than it is no matter how insane it is.

    I'm just pointing out that when someone tweets and speaks racism enough, one becomes sensitized.

    I mean, when he calls Africa a "shithole" and then lauds (the otherwise disgusting socialist) Norwegians are you seriously going to suggest that isn't coming from the direction of racism?

    I'd point out that we've had a lot of bigoted presidents. But, in Trump's case, in THIS era he is bringing racism into the realm of public policy.

    And, the constitution suggests that is a major mistake.

    All of 5th Street, East of S. Los Angeles Street, and within a half block is now skid row. It's not just some specific blocks. You probably want to rethink your claims about a place you don't appear to be familiar with.

    No one is exempt from various laws. If you think that's the case, which laws are you referring to?

    I do agree illegal aliens are a massive problem, and the agricultural industry is not immune to their crimes.

    He said all but a few Mexicans were criminals and rapists.

    He clearly indicated that he assumed there were a few good Mexicans somewhere.

    I really don't know how you missed that.
