Racism In To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee
“Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome”- Rosa Parks. This quote means that racism is always going to be in the world so you are just going to have to overcome it and get ready to deal with it. Children are going to have to prepare for it because it will affect them too. It is still happening today. I believe racism in To Kill A Mocking Bird should not be Important in society because skin color does not matter it is similar to cases now a days like the Trayvon Martin case.
Racism has impacted life today. Some people get affected by racism differently. Racism is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that …show more content…
race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races (from google definitions.) In the U.S., racism is affecting us by cases like Trayvon Martin. There are riots happening in the U.S. and people are getting tired of it. Some are losing their lives.
One case of racism in this day, for example, is the Trayvon Martin case.
A black male individual was profiled because of his skin color. He was followed because he was black, walking in a hoodie at night. The police told George Zimmerman to let them handle it, but he did not listen. Instead, he followed him and Trayvon Martin ended up getting shot and killed because Zimmerman was prejudice and assumed he was breaking the law( from CNN news). Trayvon Martin really died for no reason.
The story of Trayvon Martin is similar to Tom Robison. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robison was accused of rape. Mayella accused Tom Robison because he was a black individual. She was In trouble because she had a black person over. They believed Mayella over Tom because she was white and he was black. They had proved he couldn’t hit her because he had a deformed arm. This case was racist and based on a true story.
Racism has affected America in many different cases for example back in the day when Rosa Parks was arrested for not moving from the front of the bus. Racism affects people it makes them feel like people is better than other people. It has happened all over the world, for example, in Rwanda. In 1994 over 800,000 people were brutally killed out of discrimination of race. It was a violent time between 2 races Tutsis and Hutus were at loggerheads. One wanted vanish the other. ( From

Racism affects society because the African American feels mistreated and there getting tired of it. That is why they are starting riots like for example in Baltimore. In TKAM it is still important to us today because it still happens everywhere in the world. Racism is always going to affect the world in some way. If more people would get along , but that will never happen.
