One law is considered just because it favors the human beings personality and elevates him morally, while the other law is considered unjust because it demeans human personality. The reader connects and understands the logic between King's words in his writing because they are reasonable thus, don't understand why racial segregation is being held among the black people if the white people know that such restriction is damaging to the black individuals personalities.

Blacks often thought of it as racist, even though it was generally accepted as an attack against racism. A PBS article states concisely several reasons why the story was so
"To the Argument, that the word 'slaves' and 'slavery' are not to be found in The Constitution, and therefore it was never intended to give any protection or countenance to the slave system, it is sufficient to reply, that no such words are continued in the instrument, other words were used, intelligently and specifically, to meet the necessities of slavery." This says that the constitution can be interpreted differently. Those views that were different came from the North and South. (Document E) The Constitution can be interpreted in many different ways, which leads to sectional discord and tension. For many reasons, the South did not like what the constitution said.
8. As many trials on black citizens up until that point have not been treated fairly and that these black citizens have not been able to exercise the same rights as other Americans, the group wants all imprisoned African Americans to be released. 9. In many of the unfair trials involving black citizens, the jury has been biased against the black people, disallowing a fair trial. This tenant demands a trial made of people similar to the people in trial, so in this case black citizens.
(Ellis 396) Because of his struggles he decided to allow negative thoughts to take over which caused him to hate black people. This goes back to what Parillo stated; people begin to become hostile when they see a threat which causes them to become insecure. Nevertheless, he had no real reason to really hate black people. The problem became clear, black people were beginning to receive rights while the white race was not receiving. As stated in the text, “So the natural person to hate would be the black person.
Jefferson’s attorney was the reason that Jefferson lost his self-respect. Jefferson’s attorney is a symbol of racism. Defending Jefferson as a “hog” because he sees him as one, he assumes he is guilty because of his race, no second thoughts, and even though the lawyer is assigned as an attorney to help him, he doesn’t care about Jefferson either way. Whites saw African Americans as unintelligent, so the attorney defends Jefferson the way the whites see him. An example would be when the lawyer says, “He does not even know the size of his clothes or his shoes”, another example of the attorney seeing Jefferson as unintelligent was when he stated “Ask him to quote one passage from the constitution or Bill of Rights.” When the lawyer says, “What you see here is a thing that acts on command.” Shows that the lawyer doesn’t show any sign of respect he has for Jefferson what so ever.
“I wanted the media to go away. I did not understand the back and forth between the police and McAlary. I thought it would end.” A longtime First Amendment lawyer, I took on Jane Doe’s case and found myself suing the press, for one of the only times in my career. During our deposition of McAlary, he admitted that he never once contacted Jane Doe or any witness to the crime. He also admitted that — despite describing in detail the location of the rape in one of his articles, to argue why it was impossible for Jane Doe to have been raped and not seen by nearby joggers — he never went to the rape site.
Prosecutor “You felt sorry for her? A white woman? You felt sorry for her?” (Lee,?) This quote is proving racial discrimination towards Tom Robinson. When Tom said that he felt sorry for Mayella it was wrong in their minds because he is an African American who should not feel bad for a white person whose class is higher.
A black man does not have to only be racist against a person of the different race but also can be racist to someone of his own race. That is what people misunderstand all the time but Hurston shows readers that what they think is false. You don’t have to be racist against someone of an opposite race. You can be disgusted not only with an opposite race but also your same race. Most people seem to believe that racism is a dislike between two different cultures.
According to academic.scuohio.edu, papers like The Chicago Tribune were in the anti-lynching effort. Lynching came to represent the Whites as cruel people. Some people call this time period “The Negro Holocaust.” This could be connected to the Jewish Holocaust. Unfortunately in this case, the African Americans were the victims instead of the Jews. The Whites were seen as the Nazis, horrible people for have committing these crimes.
