In the beginning of the book I had read all about how the rasism seeped from every page, so in responce I tried to look for it in the most unlikely places. Though now that I am finished I have figured out this book is about a whole lot more than just blind racism. It is how the community reacts to certain things and the mom mentality they are forced into.
Likly some people didn't really want to go along with the trials in such a manner, but because of the scocial pressure to convict a black man they did it anyway. The looming prospect of being the only man to stand up against the majority would cruch most peoples resolve.
It is not the blame for a single person what happened throughout the book, but the blame of the community and their sense of community.
