This claim is wierd because they still persicuted the blacks. They were also very unfair in the trial. The way that they knew that he was inocent. However, they still convicted him. Eventhough he was clearly inocent. They knew that if they let him free they would be frouned apon.
Derek,
I agree with you, Miss Gates's claim is very unusual. It seems unusual to me because the community considers the persecution and mistreatment of the Jews in Europe to be an unethical and heinous act. Yet, they continue to treat the African Americans in their community in almost the same manner. Why do you think that the people of Maycomb fail to see their own actions as discriminatory and prejudicial?
