Well, as a child of a closet racist, i will say one thing... it is hard to drop the stereotypes you are taught or were surrounded with while growing up. I asked my mother relatively recently if she [who is 70] if she was afraid of black people when she was my age and or younger. she said yes and then she said she was brought up to be afraid of them. not being racist or denying them to their faces but just crossing the street when there would be a relatively large group of black men. [check this out: my mother is not the racist in my family] I also have to say this about the 'orange baboon'... he is not against Mexicans as a whole, but the ones who are here undocumented. many of them who come here are not legal. there are some who are given special permission [they have these special license plates] to work here and then drive back to mexico at the end of the day. I am totally FOR anyone wanting a better life and wanting to participate in the adult society of their new home, but COME ON! nothing is for free in this world! Do yourself a favor and stop kidding yourself. Trump is a racist, sexist, xenotrophic pig who can't keep his big mouth shut and who is totally unqualified to be POTUS.

Drifting happy-go-lucky modern bandito Santiago happens on the isolated farm of young Manuel and Maria Lopez ... Edgar G. Ulmer's The Naked dawn (1955) is a beautifully composed fatalistic tale of greed & corruption, entangled are three main Mexican protagonists. Sensitive to ethnic communities & minority groups director Ulmer gives great depth of character to this engaging moralistic fable... Loosely adapted from a short story by 'Maxim Gorky' , an inspiration for François Truffaut Massachusetts born Arthur Kennedy plays Santiago Location scenes were shot in Mexico, said to have been filmed in 10 days.

Yeah… When we start by talkin’ politics, it’s gonna descend into bickering about politics. Now, obviously, we shouldn’t entirely self-censor, but I think it would be advisable if we tried to stick to talking about classic film, which we all love.

Off-topic? Us? Perish the thought! Mad? Mad, you call me? Was Edison mad when he invented the iPhone? Hmmm…? Anyhoo… BATouttaheck Always, m’friend. In a weary world, it’s nice to focus on the kindly little things—like the joys of Fred and Ginger!—not incessant political fighting. We should discuss the talents of Mexican actors and characters, but—if some people would prefer to drag in politics kicking and screaming—we can be like the Walrus and talk “…of many [other] things, of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, of cabbages and kings, and if the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings!” Although, in this polarized age, I somehow imagine a discussion about pigs’ wings turning vituperative…

The Lawless (1950) Joseph Losey. An incisive melodrama about the discrimination of Mexican-American farm workers in California, struggling immigrants who live on the edge of poverty in makeshift segregated camps. The Mexican workers harvest California’s various crops for domestic and international markets, despised by the locals they are subjected to verbal and physical abuse by intolerant white farmers. This is an unflinching social conscious drama, a 1950 Hollywood film exploring in depth the topical pressing issue of racial intolerance and racial violence. The ambitious film project added to the mounting evidence building to blacklist Losey for his dangerous progressive views ! Joseph Losey's The Lawless has been described as an example of Film gris (grey film) . Films which have thematic elements portraying a leftist criticism of society and in general of capitalism, typically examining such themes as the psychological damages of class and the false promises of middle class happiness , racial intolerance and bigotry.
