Damn...when the real theme of the novel smacks you fellas in the face the dip dodge dive occurs. 

You went to Biden and Catholicism ?

Hellfire!! I didn’t realize the injustice had to spelled out by @Old School Hound  for your hair to set on fire.  TRt, JP, Hooter you missed what every freshman English student gets immediately. 

I thought you boys were supposed to be smart.

I thought you moderate thinkers were all hanging out over on the cerebral liberals only thread? LOL

No. I did not go to Biden Catholicism. The discussion went from a review of To Kill a Mockingbird by Jet. To your trying unsuccessfully to steer yet this conversation too, into the liberal revisionist ditch. Then Hound took up the torch and actually made a post using the American journey to ensure civil justice, which should for the most part be a matter of settled moral reckoning, to justify perpetual waves of successive generations re-litigating the manner in which slavery and bias were dispatched. Thus legitimizing the riots, mayhem and arson, along with the destruction and or civil seizure of public property, which they have militantly dubbed autonomous zones.

I offered up a book written by a black man and communist named Manning Johnson which refutes CF and Hound's hypocrisy, and who actually lived the period in question. And who actually is the expert by experience that you goofy wannabes try to act all informed about. You I submit, don't know up from down about it. Manning Johnson does, and if I wanted to forget my own life experiences and adopt anybody's perspective on the social matter that seems to be threatening us once again, it would be his. And I know for a fact that Manning's hammered out and strongly held convictions run diametrically in opposition to you guys.

I can and do accept real history, and I embrace it. You revise it as you're trying to do here yet again. Manning saw the truth of it. Maybe you should try reading his book and get a real dose of reality, and perhaps even some humility to that end, yourself. Black people who break the law should be held accountable for doing so. But by the narrative of the left, blacks and the #MeToo minorities who want on board, are held guiltless on the grounds of ridiculousness such as Critical Race Theory.

To Kill a Mockingbird in my view, exposed the shallowness of thinking of the 1930's. America is way past the naïveté of those days. She has righted a great wrong not only for America herself, but has led the world to that same enlightenment. You ought to actually digest the contents of the video I posted on the matter of black injustice as seen from the eyes of one who suffered the actual indignation of the day. But no, you who actually does the dodging and denying, choose to reject reality out of hand in favor of stirring the pot. Which I predict will turn and bite you much sooner than you think.

You guys have chosen Biden supposedly, whose public record runs 180 degrees the opposite direction, to champion the plague of civil unrest for a cause which has already been won. I posted the video of the priest who disagrees with your choice. As I said, I like the guy. He has drawn an line in the sand against the cancel culture and is quite prepared to see it through.

This thread doesn't say Conservative Literature talk.   I would have stayed away.  

You have found one dude who says what you believe about being Black in America is like;  One guy when millions are telling you the opposite.  Makes perfect sense.  I have not one damn clue what is like to be black in America, but I do know what it's like to be poor and white.  I recognize some of the same systematic social constructs.  Luckily for me, I can make a few dollars and leave the poor white trash class I grew up in.  

(you lost the civil unrest argument when you support a party that rioted at the United States Capitol to usurp democracy)

Back to the book.  We are not in the 30's, you are correct about that, but that didn't go away immediately.  The last lynching was in 1981.  Let that sink in.  It's not much of a stretch to connect what has been happening over the last few decades to the same mentality.    Tom Robinson received a trial, and TKAMB exposed the failure of the justice system when "he had to put his word against two white people", and he was found automatically guilty.   White America has now put the onus on our police officers to carry out these injustices by not appropriately funding them and feeding a toxic culture.  People who break the law should be held accountable in a court of law not in the street.
