equal rights for all, special privileges for none

This quote was powerful for me, and I wonder if when Lee wrote the book, racists had already started claiming that ending racial discrimination was actually giving "special privileges" to black people.

Incidentally, I gather that Fox broadcast an item the other day on how Social Justice Warriors had forced Lee to retcon Atticus as a racist, which seems to suggest a serious failure to pay attention to the actual origin of the novel.
