Was May Ewell brutally raped by Tom Robinson and does his lawyer claim she is lying because of racism? No, that's not actually real: both people and the lawyer are fictional and appear in the book To Kill A Mockingbird by published by Harper Lee in 1960. But a meme published by a satirical liberal Facebook page pretended the events did happen for real in order to get conservatives and Trump supporters to get angry about a fictional story.
The meme read:
MAY EWELL WAS BRUTALLY RAPED BY TOM ROBINSON
HIS LAWYER, A. F. ENCH, CLAIMS SHE'S LYING AND CALLS IT RACISM
IF YOU'RE TIRED OF THUGS CRYING RACISM TO ESCAPE PUNISHMENT- SHARE !!
The meme was posted published on June 27, 2018 by the Facebook page "America's Last Line Of Defense" (archived here) with following comment:
THATS ALL THE LIBTRADS EVER SAY!!
The list of characters of To Kill A Mockingbird lists Mayella Ewel and Tom Robinson. Tom is accused of raping and beating Mayella in the book and he is represented by attorney Atticus Finch in the story, whose name is bastardised as "A. F. Ench" in the meme.
The black man in the picture is actor Michael Clarke Duncan in The Green Mile:
