This cannot be a surprise - just as often as you guys get lumped in with all the gangbangers and the cats that just robbed the 7-11, I get lumped in with slaveowners from 150 years ago.

Atticus is a counterpoint to that.

Do they have a double-confused emoticon? I really have no idea what you are talking about.

Atticus was forced to represent the black guy.

He turned it down because there was no chance to win and he didn't want his kids to be harassed and to go through what they ended up going through.

Judge assigned him to the case because Atticus was the only guy who would make sure he got good representation.


Basically, Atticus didn't do it because he believed in civil rights or to make a grand gesture. He did it because he "always did what needed to be done".
