Racism "Racism breeds racism in reverse." These words so candidly written by Mary Crow Dog, a Lakota Sioux, describe the reverse effect indian boarding schools had upon their pupils. These old Indian boarding schools were intended to push Native Americans into accepting a new way of life as a white man. In lieu of attempting to live peacefully along side the Natives, the white settlers felt they had to force the Indian population to become "civilized". The word civilized, as defined by Websters, means to have an advanced or humane culture, society, etc.. White men did not see the Indian culture as advanced or humane and therefore began forcing white man's way of life upon the Native American Tribes.
He feels that with no education the Indians are feel they cannot take care of themselves or their land. Apess goes on to state about the white men claiming of how they are willing to give Indians rights and privileges and he discusses about how they need to protect their property and themselves by being in the Union.

DuBois strived for.

Before Mecca, Malcolm had extremist views and an obstinate condemnation of all of white society. Lee illustrates this in a scene in which a young, white woman approaches Malcolm, asking what she can do to help his cause; in a harsh response Malcolm replies ‘nothing’. However whilst in Mecca, it appears Malcolm becomes enlightened and in a symbolic gesture, shakes the hand of a white man. Upon his return he expresses regret over his previous opinions and states he wishes to work with any organisation or leaders, most likely a reference to Martin Luther King. Spike Lee’s opinions on who killed Malcolm X is made clear to the viewer, of whom Lee intends to influence the opinions of.
In the film Bordertown the filmmaker is trying to encoded a sense of fear, this is opinion of what the filmmakers was encoding. As a Hispanic man watching this film I got the idea that they were sending a signal stating that no matter how educated you are, no matter how much money you have you will still be beneath that of the white man.

"Latch-key" children have independence thrust upon them when they most need care. They are often resentful of their parents, to a degree that they tend to do the same to their own children. Children without supervision or children left wanting care and nurturing, tend to behave in ways that are socially and morally repugnant.
