Portugal says no plans to pay colonial reparations

Duh. No country is going to do this, it will do nothing but open up a can of worms. I mean, what about the ancestors of the African tribes that rounded up the slaves and sold them? Shouldn't they pay something? What about the countries who fought for slaves to be free? What about all the families of the union soldiers in the US Civil War, shouldn't they get something? Or, is this whole "reparations" thing only for black Americans whose great, great, great, great grandparents were slaves? It's silly.

California vice-mayor under fire after allegedly urging gangs to ‘organize’ over Ice

I'm Mexican/American, born and raised in Southern California and this woman is an idiot. Ever since I was a kid, gangs have TERRORIZED our neighborhoods. My brother and I were beat up, harassed, and constantly in fear because of the street gangs in our area. All gangs, no matter the race, are HORRIBLE people who kill and rob their own. This politician almost "glorifying" this crap is a slap in the face to us who have had to endure street gang's wrath of violence in our neighborhoods.
