La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for July 24, 2014

Don’t we mean “Murriacist[a]” to keep it Hispanicized?

How about Racist LA? Just saying…

While I’m a big fan of the strip, I think we’re kicking a dead horse here….

My brother has lived in Murietta since before it was incorporated in 1991. He, like many others, bought a relatively affordable home there in hopes of getting away from all of the crime and congestion in L.A. and Orange counties. Since then, the city has swelled to a population of over 100,000 living in cookie-cutter houses, most of them commuting hours to work on the overcrowded freeways. Oh, and the population is now about 25% Hispanic.

I agree about kicking a dead horse analogy. The media likes these visual displays, this is a type of theater and willing actors who want their 15 seconds on TV and so easily understood by the proles. A sorta dumming down noticias.

Interesting considering who the town was named after.

First, you’re wrong about the town’s name. It’s in fact named after the Basque rancher who settled there. Second, your point is roughly as relevant to the racists there as the names Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi being based on indigenous names is to the violent racists living in those states..Third, you’ve just once again shown your own racist ignorance when talking about diseases. In fact, children coming from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala are more likely to be vaccinated against communicable diseases than kids in the US are. Are you actually Steve King? Are you going to start going on about calves the size of cantaloupes?

Since when does criticism equal hate? Oh, right, it’s because anything that you personally don’t agree with goes straight to the hate-filled part of your own lizard brain. It’s like you’re still at the point where someone telling you that you need to share makes you fall on the floor in a screaming, sobbing puddle.

Why, indie! I do think you’re beginning to show signs you’ve actually got a couple of brain cells to rub together! (Though to be fair, I was referring to the lizard part of your brain, not calling you an out-and-out lizard brain. If you were just a brain, how would you type?) Anyway, you may be starting to get the point: as long as you persist in your campaign of whining and pouting, I’ll be here to reflect it right back to you. But here’s the difference between you and me: at least I try to be entertaining about it.

I despise living here. Mortgage too low to go anywhere else. How friggin’ embarrassing!

No idea why my post was duplicated. I’ll blame on Murrieta – it’s cursed.

Well the duplicate went away. Strange, but who cares?
