I don't see that much as in the same as " To Kill a Mockingbird "  and the riot.  Yes he was black but initially he was found guilty by one bigot and not a Capital building full of them. The movie/book was based on a family and not the US people vs the  low life's ripping to shreds our beloved Capital building .  The jury convicted Robinson of rape because of whose word is believed: that of a white woman or that of a black man.

"Fascism in the United States is an ideology based on power, loyalty, and fear of the Other. Where the "other" is defined either ethnically, nationality, or by religion and the leader so called represents the people, or "us" but in reality, represents a different people.
