This http://projects.latimes.com/homeboys/ came from a Vietnam vet of Mexican descent. A serious juxtaposition of LA Homeboys with Alabama Poorboys. What a difference exposure to other worlds makes. It takes one's breath away or at least makes one gasp to remember that severe poverty, lack of education and ignorance on the part of folks who can and ought to get involved to change the situation still exists in the U.S.
I can understand it's existence here in Peru to some extent. But STILL in the US? Guess I've just been gone too long.
Do take a look at all the links in the piece as well.
