Move on.

Scout," said Atticus, "nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don't mean anything—like snot-nose. It's hard to explain—ignorant, trashy people use it when they think somebody's favoring Negroes over and above themselves. It's slipped into usage with some people like ourselves, when they want a common, ugly term to label somebody."

"You aren't really a nigger-lover, then, are you?"

"I certainly am. I do my best to love everybody... I'm hard put, sometimes—baby, it's never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn't hurt you." (107-109)

In this section Scout and Jem were together playing around near Mrs.Dubose house when Jem had messed up her Camille for insulting Atticus by calling him a n***** lover. What Jem did was resonable but was not right. He could've just turned around and went back home ignoring Mrs.Dubose, there for being the bigger person. Something that I think that some people can relate to is that when people outside of your race try and put you in a box and assume you're all the same. But in reality no one is the same, even tho you may be the same race doesn't mean you act the same. And so when you're acting"different"from what a percentage of how people are acting in your race people start to say things like you act like this race and that race, you should act more like your own race. By saying that you're disapproving of the way someone naturally is. Causing people to say oh well he likes this race more than his own. Which isn't true for me atleast. I belive everyone is the same racially but its who we are culturally that makes us stand out from others.
