Racial Discrimination
            
             What is racism? Racism according to Webster dictionary means a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement involving the idea that only one race is superior also hatred for another race or races.
            
            
             The book To Kill a Mockingbird has many good example of racism and once of these is describe in the first chapter when the sheriff of the town would not lock up a man who knowly had stabbed his father and the same cell as a black man. So this man was locked up in the basement away from the black prisoners
            
             The second example and the main example was the character Bob Ewell who demonstrated racism towards all black people including Tom Robinson who he falsely accused of raping his daughter, Miss Mayella Ewell. Mr. Ewell always refers to black people in the book as nigros. He also accused Atticus, Tom Robinson's lawyer, of being a nigro lover. Through out the trial, Mr. Ewell and his daughter made up lies and presented false accusations to convict Tom Robinson solely because he was a black man. Mr. Ewell presented that Mr. Robinson had raped his daughter although she had never been raped.
            
             At the end the conclusion of the trial the jury found tom Robinson guilty based on false evidence without looking at the truth instead of seeing a man on trial the all white jury saw a black man who they assumed what had committed this crime regardless of the evidence or his word.
            
             In conclusion it is my opinion that a black men's life was cut short unduly because of one man and his community hatred of people who are different then they are. People should be able to live together in harmony no matter their skin color or their race and juries should convict people based on their crime not on their race.
