Quilty In To Kill A Mockingbird

From the moment you enter the world, judgement is forced onto you and everything you do from that point on. The worst part is not the inability to refrain from learning to live this way, but the fact that this is taught down by generations and not just something you’re born with. To stray from being bias as a women of color in the 21st century, I understand that some people will fight to insist that the use of the n word and their involve in discrimination towards women isn’t a bad thing, but a part of America’s history. The people who carry down these ways of thinking are the same people who want to keep the Confederate Flag as it’s a part of our history, but they rarely want to acknowledge the history they 're defending was raised on racism

In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, the man of color Tom Robinson is accused of a crime and sentenced to life. Set in the late 1950s, early 1960s, the story shows the Great Depression and the hard hit segregation through the eyes of an eight year old girl named Jean Louise.

Rather, what they were suggesting was there is a specific problem that’s happening in the African-American community that’s not happening in other communities.
