Well how do you know we ain't N*******?"
"Uncle Jack Finch says we really don't know. He says as far as he can trace back the Finches we ain't, but for all he knows we mighta come straight out of Ethiopia durin' the Old Testament."
"Well if we came out durin' the Old Testament it's too long ago to matter."
"That's what I thought," said Jem, "but around here once you have a drop of N**** blood, that makes you all black." 
   something i can relate this to is the time period that this novel occurred  in which is around the 20th century and something that was happening racial was the one-drop-rule. The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States asserting that any person with even one ancestor of sub-Saharan-African ancestry ("one drop" of black blood) is considered to be black . This concept evolved over the course of the 19th century and became codified into law in the 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" and is an example of hypo descent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status.

In the U.S., the concept of the one-drop rule has been chiefly applied by White Americans to those of  black African ancestry in the 20th century, when they were trying to maintain white supremacy. The poet Langston Hughes wrote in his 1940 memoir:

You see, unfortunately, I am not black. There are lots of different kinds of blood in our family. But here in the United States, the word 'Negro' is used to mean anyone who has any Negro blood at all in his veins. In Africa, the word is more pure. It means all Negro, therefore black. I am brown.

what happened in this part of the book was that Jem and scout were discussing over how to know if a person is half black and half white it all started when dill said a mixed chullin and scout asked what a mixed child was. Scout was very confused on how to know if that person is mixed  and dill just couldn't explain well till he talked about the drop of negro blood. Jem then said "but around here once you have a drop of negro blood, that makes you all black."what i thought that was wrong with this was way before when dill was comparing Mr.Dolphus Raynold to trash like nothing. what i thought was right with this situation was when scout asked what a mixed child was i think that this was a key point for this time period since it came to race.

           I would compare this situation with the terrorist attack that occurred in  Paris that  passed in the news. the Islamic state of Iraq claimed responsibility of attacks and this situation relates to the part Ive  chosen for TKAM since its involving with race and inequality because there were people in the time of TKAM that still hated other race and did crimes over it.
