The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street

After Atticus leaves the courthouse in defeat, Scout comments, “It was Jem’s turn to cry. His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd” (Lee 284). This quote shows that everyone on the white side, the cheerful crowd, do not care the slightest about Tom. They only care that Tom is convicted because they think all African Americans are guilty no matter what. After Scout realizes that the white townspeople of Maycomb are biased, she better understands the people surrounding her.

There were about two thousand of them. Those who wanted to baptize themselves were spared.” The people of Europe burnt all of those Jewish people because there was a slight possibility that they could have caused the plague. They all quickly turned there sanity aside and murdered over 2,000 people. Mass hysteria was played a great roll in the downfall of Europe during the bubonic

The government, of course, covered it up saying it was merely

I had known about lynching before this book however Dr. DeGruy goes into detail about the horrific acts. She explains how men that went though no legal process were brutally beaten burned and lynched simply because they talked or looked a white women or simply just stood up for them self. Its disgust me that people would take pictures and treat a lynching like a joyful ceremony. It is disturbing to think that another man would cut off another man 's body parts and keep them as a souvenir. This really made think about the atrocities that were committed in our country that no one has paid

I think of him trying to end racism, trying to let the colored people get the same opportunities as the whites had. I even think about the man trying to make Rosa Parks get up out her seat because he was a white guy and she refused to get up, so she was arrested. Well in my opinion I think Martin Luther King tried to do his best to end racism before he was shot and killed because everyone hated him, only because of what he was trying to do and what he was

The book Stella by Starlight also shows racism. For example, when Stella and jojo’s parents wanted to vote the white interviewer asked them all these questions about the government to prove that they know stuff about the government. If they got one wrong, they could not vote. The white person who came into the town hall to vote was allowed to vote without answering any questions. This showed racism in the town of Bumblebee.

When Sula was very ill no one in the community cared about her instead of Nel because Sula was her other half. People in Medallion were more scared of Sula then White people because after the death of Sula Peace, community in Medallion was bored and Wives stop protecting their husbands and Teapot’s mother started beating him up. On the national suicide day more people joined shadrack and people destroyed the tunnel because it belonged to the white people and then they died, The idea of working together and dying

During this trial, Mayella a white female in the 1930’s was treated with respect being called ma’am and miss. She had never been treated like this before she even thought that she was being mocked “ Won’t answer a word you say long as you keep on mockin’ me she said”(Is Mayella Powerful 17 Evanston, IL 2013). While on the other hand Tom Robinson being a black man in the 30’s was called a boy like slave men were called during slave times” it was just him I couldn’t stand, ‘ Dill said… ‘That old Mr. Gilmer doin’ him thataway, talking so hateful to him… The way that man called him “boy” all the time an’ sneered at him…’Well, Dill,after all he’s just a Negro.’(Is Mayella Powerful 17 Evanston,

It has impacted my life in every way it can. We have all been sort of indoctrinated to believe all these kinds of stereotypes. Which is why we see on television innocent people of color being shot to death by a white officer because they felt “unsafe.” Just like the case of Michael Brown in Missouri. He was killed by the police at the age of 18.

I remember being appalled that these white people were dehumanizing him so that they did not have to care as much about his death. Regardless of criminal history, race, or appearance, nobody deserves to be spontaneously and publicly executed. I remember looking back at incidences like the Aurora shooting in 2012 where a white mass murderer was taken into custody alive and went to court. When talking to my peers I would often compare incidences of violent and belligerent white criminals being taken into custody alive with incidences of black people being killed by cops for things like mild traffic offenses or holding a water gun. In nearly all of the latter cases, the cops were not even put on trial for killing innocent black people.

Aliens could be having some eternal sun party in there and we are none

As I have stated already, the main reasons were that they [Klu-Klux-Klan] were killing and brutally murdering black politicians, or even, any random citizen who was either for the “Reconstruction” . The other reason I stated was that they brought to many problems to themselves, that the “Northern Neglect” did not feel like they should be responsible for that. Tens of thousands people who live here all blame the ‘Northern Neglect” for this cause that was once beautiful. If only they would hear my argument on why I believe in what we did to them was very horrible,we were killers. They are just holding a deaf ear, but we can come to conclusion that it was our fault for this act that was once supposed to be a way to make America a land of opportunities, but instead turned it to a land of

People acted out of anger and displeasure in the moment so they fought and fought, One race was tired of being mistreated so they tried to make a difference, the other race didn’t want anything to change and wanted them to stay in their miserable place. I’ve read online many events where a black person and a white person did the same crime but there’s this thing called white privilege which let’s them get away or won’t suffer as much. I think this is very much sad because it’s been almost a century since the Race Riots have started and almost nothing changed except African-American getting the equal amount of rights. That’s sure an improvement but people are still immature and uneducated enough to learn how to not be racist, I see nothing wrong with black people but there are people who still do. Seeing how today’s society is still unchanged in some areas, I still personally think the Chicago Race Riots would still have started even without Eugene William’s death but at a much later

In doing so, the upper class white citizens of Maycomb would endorse Bob and his case against Tom Robinson. However, even when Bob accomplished his goal of joining the higher social class in Maycomb, he eventually returned to his usual self. A local citizen and daughter of Atticus Finch, Scout Finch, said “He was the only man I have ever heard of that was fired from the WPA for laziness. I suppose his brief burst of fame brought a briefer burst of industry” (248). His attempts to throw an innocent black man in jail succeeded, however, he ultimately still failed as a

78). The justification given to White Southerner for these murders was that when a African-American raped white women, they need to be lynched. However, the inconsistencies that wells found out were that only a third of the African-American who were murdered were accused of rape and the other who were murdered were lynched for anything with crime or no crime at all. Most of the people who were lynched were innocent people, including women, children. It does not matter even if African-American who were lynched even if they were innocent.
