So no black men were ever unjustly accused of rape? Innocent men are not convicted inspite of evidence that should exonorate them?

You seem primarily focused on the race aspect of the book, but that’s not what it is about. It is the story of a child coming of age, and her maturing relationship with her father. Most adults have, at least once in their life, the opprotunity to do what is right, despite popular opinion or peer pressure. The trial was just one example in the book of this.

Who cares about the race of most rapists? Does it make the crime less horrific? My white sister was raped by a white man. I don’t think any of her scars would be greater or lesser if it had been a black man. I don’t understand your focus. But then again, I don’t focus on race. Black people don’t commit crimes, white people don’t commit crimes. Evil people do.

False

Innocent men are not convicted inspite of evidence that should exonorate them?

This sentence is gibberish. You've got a double negative when you only needed a single negative. Try again.

And be sure to add 17 paragraphs of squid. That will give you practice for a job at the IRS.

....
I’m sorry to hear about your sister. The crime is no less horrific whether done by black or white. What the crime does do is teach your sister —and likely you — which race more to distrust.

To Kill A Mockingbird does the same thing. The movie teaches you which race more to distrust in matters of rape and murder and justice.

Yet To Kill A Mockingbird is no less a propaganda movie For the 1960’s than the Birth of A Nation was a propaganda movie to the generation of the 1915’s.
