White people wouldn't have anything to do with her because she lived among pigs;
Negroes wouldn't have anything to with her because she was white.
She was white, and she tempted a Negro. She did something that in our society is unspeakable
But around here once you have a drop of negro blood, that makes you all black.
"I said come here, nigger, and bust up this chiffarobe for me, I gotta nickel for you"
She was white, and she tempted a Negro. She did something that in our society is unspeakable
Atticus says cheatin' a colored man is ten times worse than cheatin' a white man.
He announced in the schoolyard the day before that Scout Finch's daddy defended niggers.
Not only a Finch waitin' on tables but one in the courthouse lawing for niggers!
This time we aren't fighting for the Yankees, we're fighting our friends.
