The lawyer, Jake Tyler Brigance: Cultural racism, but he isn’t the offender. He’s fighting against what the judge and other white members of the case believe to be a case where a black man took the law into his own hands because, culturally, black people just do bad things.
Judge Omar Noose & D.A. Rufus Buckley: minimization of racism. Not offering Carl Lee a fair trial “because of his wrong doings” when in reality it was because he was a black man.
Carl Lee: also, cultural racism. During that time, it was somewhat normal for whites to be acquitted for crimes they absolutely committed if the victim was of color. Due to previous cases like the one of Carl’s daughter, he feared that the men who hurt his daughter would be acquitted as well. In turn, he killed the two men.
