Life isn't so great right now. I am in a lot of trouble for supposedly raping a white girl. I mean, why would i do that. I have a family, and I love my family. I don't need this right now. I wouldn't be in trouble if I was white. Mayella kissed me, and it is not like I wanted her too. Her dad came in and saw and beat her, and then they said that i raped her, which by the way isn't true. I have a lot of things that i need to do, but I can't do them because these white people want to put me in jail for something that I didnt do. Why do people think it's okay to treat someone of different race so badly? Just because I am not white doesn't mean I should be treated this way. I am a person, a human being. I have feelings, and needs that I have to tend to. I am not going to go and waste my life by raping a 19 year old girl. Everyone knows that I am innocent. I am just being accused because of my color, because I am black. I would give anything to get out of this and go see my family, and not be in trouble. This is just rediculous!
