It was never a woke book.
A white savior would have been a perfect anti-racist civil rights activist, which isn't what Atticus Finch was.
We have no idea what Atticus social views are (if he's a racist, if he believes miscegenation should be legal, if he would share the same potty with a black person) but considering he's a middle aged Southern lawyer in the 1930s they probably aren't progressive.
But Atticus is a good man who believes that the law applies to everyone. He defends a black man accused of r*pe because someone has to, he then gets convinced he's innocent and figures out the father of the girl r*ped her. He does that because it's the right thing to do even within their racist system.
He explicitly asks the jury to set aside their own prejudices and focus on the evidence. The black pill is that no one in town gives a flying frick about the law and already decided that the BIPOC is guilty, much like modern woketards who presuppose all whites are guilty of racism.

Atticus is a representation of the glory of the Constitution and the light of America being the shiny city on A hill. The story shows that even the lowly negro gets fair representation on our great nation and that even tho the sins of demons are around, a true man of Christ armed with a Bible and the Bill of Rights will triumph over evil in America
Attiicus's personal failing in the community shows that the eternal soul of America is in all of us and Patriotism must flourish in the next generation. And excellent modern remake could be set in the anti American communist chaos of BLM with Atticus representing Kyle Rittenhouse blue lives matter
