Oppression by: Ihsana Daye

In the passage scout's father is defending a man named Tom Robinson who is accused of raping a woman,

of course it is a very hard time for African-Americans during this time, then to be accused of raping a white woman its less likely for this just to die out, Tom Robinson was found guilty, I personally think because of his race. Maybe the woman could have been lying about it the whole time, just to try to save herself from whatever. During this time black people had a very hard time so when they were accused of a crime they got harsher punishments than the whites would and when they are on trial almost all of the entire jury is white and most likely they are going to be found guilty. 

I guess maybe for a long time during these events white people thought they were the dominate race and they started thinking they were better than everyone else, and that's why blacks were treated so badly during this time because white people never had any respect for black people and they felt like they didn't deserve any respect. That's why now its kind of better because most people have gotten over the whole race ism thing.....now I'm not saying all people are not raciest
