Black Boy in Richard Wright's autobiography

Racism

        The theme of Richard W chastises autobiography Black Boy is racism. Wright grew up in the deep South; the Jim Crow South of the early twentieth century. From an early age Richard Wright was aware of dickens races, the black and the unclouded. as yet he never understood the relations between the two races. The fact that he didnt understand but was always difficult to, got him into trouble military piecey times. When in Memphis, Wright reluctantly assumed the determination society dictated for him, the role of a black boy. He became a black boy for the sole purpose of survival, to shed light on enough money to eventually propel North where he could be himself.

        As an innocent child Wright sees no loss between the blacks and the clears. Yet he is aware of the existence of a difference. My grandmother who was as white as any white person, had never looked white to me. (Wright pg. 31). This statement shows his confusion about blacks and whites. When, as a child Wright learned of a white man beating a black boy he believed that the white man was allowed to beat the black child. Wright did not think that whites had the right to beat blacks because of their race. Instead he assumed that the white man was the black boys father.



When Wright learned that this was not true, and that the boy was beaten because of his race, he was un able to rationalize it. Even as he got aged he didnt see the color of people. In one type Richard and a friend are standing outside a shop when some white people pass by, Richard doesnt move to accomodate the white people because he simple didnt notice that they were white.
