In Chapter 9 of To Kill a Mockingbird, the author Harper Lee illustrates Scout's cousin Francis being hypocritical. "I guess it ain't your fault if Uncle Atticus is a *****-lover besides, but I'm here to tell you it certainly does mortify the rest of the family-"(Lee 94).  This quote illustrates that to Francis, Atticus is a disgrace to the family and what he is doing is just plain wrong. If we switch the point of view to Scout then you can see how hypocritical Francis is being. To Scout it's completely normal for her father to be defending an African American because in her point of view she believed there should be equal justice for all.

In Chapter 20 of To Kill a Mockingbird Scout and Dill have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Raymond and getting to know him a little more. "Cry about the simple hell people give other people without even thinking. Cry about the hell white people give colored folks, without even stopping to think that they're people, too." (Lee 229).  In this quote, we see that Mr.Raymond is  a man whose point of view is not destroyed  by the hypocrisy of the town surrounding him. He  views African Americans as people not as trash like everyone one else thinks. He sees that the town is being hypocritical; he doesn't need to  switch his point of view because he already sees the wrongness of  racism.

In Chapter 26 of To Kill A Mockingbird Scout learns that Miss.Gates strongly dislikes Hitler and what he is doing to the Jews but something doesn't feel right to Scout. "I heard her say it's time somebody taught' em a lesson, they were gettin' way above themselves, an' the next thing they think they can do is marry us. Jem, how can you hate Hitler so bad and' then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home-" (Lee 283). This quote illuminates  that to Scout she doesn't understand how Miss.Grate could be so hypocritical. How can she be so single minded to the point where she hates the way the Jews are being treated but then turns around and treats African American as if she is better then them.

In order to see the hypocrisy of racism one must switch points of view.  On May 25 2020, an African American was brutally killed by a police officer. That man went by the name of Gorge Perry Floyd  Jr.. It was because of his skin color that he was killed and the hypocritical thought of thinking that all black people are guilty of committing a crime. It's only if we switch the point of view then the police officer would realize that he is in the wrong. Soon after the killing of Mr. Floyd, the Black Lives Matters Movement and all of America got a front row seat  to police brutality. To the African Americans,  they’re just  trying to fight for justice and equality, but to the policemen who are brutally harassing them they don't want change and equality they're the type of people who believe that they are better than African Americans.  On August 30,  a 17 year old, Caucasian Male named Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 protesters and  2 of those protesters died. "Kyle is an innocent boy who justifiably exercised his fundamental right of self-defense. In doing so , he likely saved his own life and possibly the lives of others," Lin Wood. To Lin Wood he thinks that instead of Kyle being a murder he is a hero who saved countless lives. If we switch the perspective, what if it was his son who was lying dead on the ground or what if it was his son who was severely injured. then he would finally see that Kyle really is a racist murderer who is the reason why 2 people will never go home to their families and one who will go home but it won't be the same. In both the novel and the current situation of this Nation for us to see the hypocrisy that is right in front of us sometimes we need to change our point of views and put our selves in the other person's shoes.
