racial issues in the book

The book apparently discusses about racial issues and this issue caused the trial to open. In the trial Tom who is innocent gets accused of raping Mayella Ewell. However, it was untrue. The woman was the one to cause trouble. The racial here in this trial was that Tom was claimed of guilt and had to go through a death penalty so he died. Through this readers are able to understand the seriousness of racial issues handled during this time. Also, some white people had to fake it by acting as if they were drunk or in any other way in order to look as if they were just hanging out with them because they were out of their minds. Some white people tended to like hanging out with the black people but the society disapproved strongly. It makes me, as a reader feel deep sorrow for the innocent person such as Tom getting executed because of something that he didn't do. Through this it makes me realize serious issues that have been happening at those days.
