Stop Racism!


I was so frustrated after I finished reading chapters 22 through 25. I could not believe that Tom Robinson was killed. He was an innocent man that recieved and guilty charge. What is even worse is that the only reason he was said to be guilty was because he was black. I don't know about you guys but it makes me mad that some of the white people in this book could not get it throuhg their head's that even though someone has black skin, they are still a person and have lives just the same as white people. I feel so sorry for Helen, Tom's Wife, when she had to hear about the terrible news. Now she has to find a way to support her family all by herself, which would be extremely hard to do, especially since she was a black female living in the south. I really wish that racism like this would have stopped by now, but sadly it hasn,t. There are still racist people in the world that treat others unfairly. On a positive note, I think more and more people everyday are realizing how wrong and awful racism really is. There are many websties that are trying to spread the word about stopping racism.
