They're not wrong. The liberal white guy has to save the Black (NYT style guide) man from evil southern rednecks. The liberal guy proves his manhood by being the best rifle shot in town. And they (Harper Lee and Truman Capote) add Boo Radley for some good old Southern Gothic flavor. I never liked To Kill a Mockingbird.
Me either since I was a lad when it came out
As an adult I realized the agit prop it is
Many posters here in their perennial gullibility and need to be up to snuff on race
And view To Kill A Mockingbird and Deliverance as documentaries on the South
