#1 Well if he was a racist, then his defense of the black man in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is even more powerful as a story of a man putting ethics and the law above his personal feelings or bias.

Great stuff!!!

I loved Atticus Finch and he was a real man.

The snowflakes can't get it through their heads the concept of a man putting the truth and what is right ahead of personal conviction...doesn't happen in their neighborhood.

#2 At least pay her for this book seeing as she never got paid for that one.

Mind crime plagues liberals and they force it on Everyone. All that fake guilt.

Liberals are the fascists that made all this happen from the start, remember.
And Faulkners' "The Sound and the fury" should be recommended reading if only to break their timid little soul less hearts about their own party.

Many people are bigots. I know I AM.
I find Islam oppressive,

but do not wake up the liberal fascists until they are being beaten down by moslems yet. That is the future plan of the devil.

No worries, if ya slipped that far, maybe it really is the end.
Nothing left to protect. No civilization, not GOD, no Virtue, not morals, no Commandments.

Just a bunch of "democrat" communist fascists and islamic fucktards beating it out for another thousand years.

I will go back to my perch. No need for me here.

#3 Maybe definition of racism changed in the last 50 years. These things always go up and down. I remember, in 1990es I was a racist (and a fascist)---Israeli style, for saying out loud that peace with Arabs is impossible.

#4 First of all what do they mean by 'racist'? The term is so overused that my left sock could be called 'racist'.

This might be just a publicity stunt

#6 These snowflakes can't comprehend that Lydon Johnson was a racist in their southern stereotype model, but also the man who could get Congress, with a lot of Trunk support, to pass the '64 Civil Rights and Voting Rights legislation. The Left can not fathom the ability to put raw ~~human~~ animal emotion and lust for power behind cold reason and principles.

#7 I'm surprised the Rape Culture Crowd isn't attacking Atticus because he defended a man accused (falsely) of rape.

#8 I use the spelling "racis" to mock the overuse & PC-ness of the original word.
