Why is Atticus defending Tom Robinson?

I, Atticus Finch, have chosen to safeguard Tom Robinson against the convictions of white southern culture. I understand in doing with the goal that I am leaping out of the lines where the white network has drawn so without any problem. They have placed themselves in these lines to isolate themselves from minorities individuals such that makes them at a better quality. I am shielding Tom Robinson since I trust him to be a blameless man, he has the option to a reasonable preliminary regardless of whether he is shaded, and he merits equity. In taking this case, numerous individuals have changed their viewpoints of me since I am protecting a hued man. Tom Robinson is a respectable field hand. He has no purpose behind damage towards Mayella. I genuinely accept that his honesty is genuine. He is benevolent and accommodating, even fearless enough to ceaselessly help Mayella on his strolls home from work. Tom was not doing favors for Mayella for cash, however simply out of the generosity he has. However, this town considers Tom to be an attacker as a result of his skin shading. On the off chance that this man was white, you would have the option to comprehend and really hear what I am stating about an honest man. You can't get passed his appearance to see his heart. I am ready to see pass his shading and discover his individual underneath his skin. I am deciding to step out of the lines since Tom Robinson didn't assault Mayella Ewell. Tom Robinson has the option to have somebody safeguard him who trusts in him. I took this case since I need to safeguard him to my best capacity. Each man has the option to a reasonable preliminary. Regardless of race or shading. Weave Ewell can pass judgment on me for agreeing with a minority individual. Be that as it may, I battle for equity, not for a supposed â€Å"superior† race. This man ought to be honest until demonstrated blameworthy, not liable until demonstrated guiltless. Individuals put these recognitions that whites are better than minorities individuals on the grounds that there white. That isn't a way people should see others. Tom merits a reasonable preliminary. Mayella lies in court, why? She feels that since he is shaded she will have the option to accuse him. In spite of the fact that Tom Robinson is shaded he has the option to equity as much as a white man. He shouldn't be accused for a demonstration that he didn't submit as a result of the shade of his skin. I need equity for this man. Notice how he is only a man. He isn't characterized as a hued man in my eyes as he is to the white network. Tom Robinson is a man who is honest and equity has the right to be given to this man, this person. Numerous townspeople may not comprehend why I remain by a hued man, yet I represent equity regardless of whether that implies venturing outside the lines that this white network has drawn around themselves. White individuals need to step off the platform that they have given to themselves and acknowledge everybody merits equity. In spite of the fact that individuals may not comprehend why I guard Tom Robinson, I decide to do on the grounds that he merits equity. Regardless of his skin shading, he is a man who is guiltless. I may have disrupted guidelines according to the white network, however I represent equity and Tom is blameless. My activities are my own and I don't let prejudice waiver my convictions. Hued or white, equity is an option to all.
