Post 5 - Trump and Taylor

¨I shut my eyes. Judge Taylor was polling the jury: ´Guilty...guilty...guilty...guilty...´¨ (Lee 214) 
This is a good example of someone who lost because they have no choice. Tom could never win against a white man just because he was black. Today, this reminds me of how some other people don't have power over a white man. Donald Trump says that if he wins the election, he's going to send the Syrian refugees back. 
Tiny face Donald Trump looks pretty close to the real thing.

He thinks it's unsafe for Muslims to be coming into America "because they could be from ISIS". This is racial discrimination. Trump is assuming just because they are Muslim that they will be terrorists. It's terrible what ISIS did not only because of how many people died, but it also gave a bad rap to Muslims.

Donald Trump also says that he'd want to keep a database of all the Syrians in America, almost like during the Holocaust when Hitler made the Jews wear the star of David.
Just like Tom and the Syrians, these people have no defense against someone in power. 


I think what happened in both situations was wrong: Trump shouldn't be talking about sending them back because he's not even president, and Judge Taylor should've looked at the evidence, cause the evidence doesn't lie.

  1. The trial in the book really was unfair. I agree with you that people exclude an entire race just to take the easy way out. Hitler did that and killed millions of jews, and Trump is doing it and racially criticizes muslims as a whole. Unfortunately, the leaders had all the power, while everyone else couldn't do anything about it.
