Answer. When Atticus says, “This case is as simple as black and white,” he is referring to the racial aspect of the case, as well as Tom’s obvious innocence (Lee 124). Throughout the trail, there was no evidence presented that would have proved that Tom Robinson was guilty of assaulting and raping Mayella Ewell.

Answer:

It is easy to tell the difference between the colors black and white, just like it is easy to tell that Tom Robinson is not guilty

Atticus simply means that the case is pretty straightforward.
