I think you’re missing a great deal from the text. You have to examine a charecter’s action to determine who that person is. Atticus defends Tom Robinson because he believes in equal justice for all. He’s a clear defender of the 14th amendment. That does make him a radical for his time and place. Further, the other…

He doesn't hate black people. Look at his actions. Look how he treats Calpurnia. Look how he lets Calpurnia take the kids to her church. All of the Black characters in the novel are noble and decent, and Atticus encourages Scout to see them that way.

You're defending Mayella? Wow, that's a new one. She wasn't slut-shamed, she was truth-shamed. She was willing to kill a man to protect her reputation.

No, she wouldn’t. The reaction would be sympathic, as it should be for this guy. Look, I’m 49. The passage of time can be tough for some people. It’s a bit narcissistic to grieve over lost good looks, for either gender, but it’s deeply human and worthy of compassion.

Right, only women should be able to complain about such things. It's the Jezebel way.

Why don’t you? The limitation Jezebel has, it’s eternal bias, is that no matter what the issue, women ALWAYS have it worse. Any time a guy complains about anything, Jezebel responds, “Well, try being a woman. Life is so unfair, blah, blah, blah.” Always.

Yes, you missed a lot. She had no way of knowing they were officers for quite some time. Reasonable fear.

This is racist to you? Bizarre. Latin America has a high crime rate. Mexico, in particular, has an exceptionally high crime rate. Inner-city neighborhoods have extremely high crime rates and are very dangerous at night. Pointing out those facts is not racist.

You’re fucking crazy.

Keep waiting. I’m not seeing it.

Nobody thinks that. Not one rational person thinks that. Not one.

Yay! Man-Haters Club!!! All Men Suck! No Boys Allowed. That’ll show ‘em.

You will know by their fucked up brands and access to guns. That’s how you’ll know. Stay away from crazy people of all genders, races and races.

Get the fuck lost. That’s why we men are conditioned to break up with women genteelly, otherwise they’ll all stalk us. Yeah.

Fucking negroes, man. Animals.

Promoting your own shit in Deadspin comments is really classless, asshole.

You are truly crazed. His damages aren't that bad? Really???

That's a really dangerous attitude you have.

What a cunt.

You must be a proud young man.
