To Kill A Mocking Bird Post 7

In this book to Kill A Mocking Bird I think that a lot of it was about race. The reasons why I choose to defend that is because white people always thought of the black people as lower class people without even knowing anything about them just because of their skin color. Also in the jury with Tom Robinson he lost just because when it was proven true that he didnt rape anybody. But he lost just because he was black and the whole town turned against Tom Robinson just because he was black and not white. What happened in this time period is that whites were only with whites and blacks were only with blacks. I feel that none of this stuff shouldnt have hapened because a person is a person we are all the same no matter what skin color or race we are all the same we are all people.

If all the white people were lower than the black people then all the white people treating blacks like trash were all of a sudden treated like they treated blacks. They would feel terrible and feel that they have not a equal amount of rights than the black people. What I am trying to say that we should treat people like we would want to be treated and not treat them bad just because of what color they are. People should all have the same rights as others no matter what race they are. I did not realize how big of a problem it was for racism until I read this book and it showed things that probably really did happen.
