	Richard Wright and Black Boy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The result is that "Black Boy" is as intimate a personal story as you have ever read, fearlessly candid, a revelation of the clockwork beneath the ticking of one man's heart.
		"Black Boy" is no Hollywood serving of magnolia and julep, it is a piece of immediate Danteian reality made in the U.S.A., a candid-camera recording of the virulent Fascist tumor that exists in our democratic body.
		Not very many years ago he was just "a fl boy in Mississippi," which means few men in the world have begun life under a burden of graver handicaps or faced more difficult obstacles.

	"The Little Black Boy"
		Bloom argues that the little fl boy accepts all that he is told by his mother as truth, and that the poem thus demonstrates the "inadequacy of Innocence, of the natural context, to sustain any idealizations whatsoever" (48).
		Greco uses both the text and the illustrations of "The Little Black Boy" to argue that the poem demonstrates the "pernicious effects" that the mother's false religious beliefs--i.e., her beliefs in the duality of body and soul and the inherent evilness of the body--have on her son.
		Hilton's 1990 discussion of "The Little Black Boy" first emphasizes the presence in the poem of words with several possible meanings, such as "bore" and "beam"; in particular, his reading of the line, "That we may learn to bear the beams of love" as evoking Christ on the cross--beam from "baum"--is intriguing.

	SparkNotes: Black Boy: Themes, Motifs & Symbols
		Black Boy, however, explores racism not only as an odious belief held by odious people but also as an insidious problem knit into the very fabric of society as a whole.
		Wright entitles his work Black Boy primarily for the emphasis on the word “fl”: this is a story of childhood, but at every moment we are acutely aware of the color of Wright’s skin.
		Wright’s critique of racism in America includes a critique of the fl community itself—specifically the fl folk community that is unable or unwilling to educate him properly.

	ReadingGroupGuides.com - BLACK BOY by Richard Wright
		Black Boy is Richard Wright's memoir of his life from early childhood to the launching of his career as a writer.
		Black Boy ends with an image of Wright sitting poised with pencil in hand, determined to "hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo." He had arrived at the threshold of his professional literary career.
		When it was published in 1945, Black Boy was read primarily as an attack on the violence and oppression of the Jim Crow South; during the 1960s, critics began to focus on the sensibility of the narrator - how his experiences shaped him, how he found his voice and satisfied his yearning for expression.

		From the instant Will Sheff's vocals speak over a lightly strummed guitar in a highly wonderful version of Tim Hardin's 'Black Sheep Boy' and then the feedback begins 'For Real', I was hooked.
		OR's penchant for dynamics in sound is highlighted in a number of songs like 'For Real', where Sheff alternates between crooning and shouting his lyrics over distorted guitars and thundering drumming.
		'Black' is as close to a pop song as they've ever gotten with its bouncy keyboards and post-punk drumming married with distressing lyrics about child kidnapping, whilst 'Get Big' and 'Like A Stone' show an altogether more stripped down sound more in tune with folk.
