Racial Injustice: The Case of Tom Robinson

Tom Robinson is guilty. Not only is that a false statement, it also shows how unfair we are when it comes to the black community. Obviously Tom Robinson was an innocent man, but since his skin color is black it does not matter, he would end up doing something illegal anyhow right? Wrong. I could have said more about what I saw, I could have helped more than what I did. But there it is again, I am white and I wanted to keep my peace with the townspeople. White supremacy is what the law is… but should that really be the law?
Tom Robinson is a good man, a hard working man. He would do whatever he could to provide for his family, and he would do whatever he could to help anyone who asked for it. He woke up, and went to work every morning. He

is a honest working man, and very trustworthy. And I can tell you, that is more than some white folk out there will do. I should have said more, even if it would do very little. The jury was made up of a bunch of hypocrites, who knew only of white supremacy.
I realize now, that we are all equal. No matter what color we are, or what religion, we are all human beings. We should all have equal rights, we should be able to get to go wherever we please. And because I am the sheriff of this town, I will do everything in my power to do what is right. I don’t care what these people think of me, I just hope that in the future there will be a change.
