Need some dikk? I sure do: "Native Son" (1951)

[Fill Collins]

Richard Wright, known to his friends as "dikk" played his own main character in the first adaption of his novel, Native Son

Bigger Thomas was what, 19? Wright was already yet he played a teenager and filmed this in Argentina

Black Boy is a book I read once a year, but I've read his non-fiction books and he was a once in a lifetime bootstrap mf'r, says a lot about how ideas self-fulfill themselves

Anyway, if you like the book, I'd just watch it once to see Wright poorly act lol, they watered down the grittier end of the book and some voices are poorly dubbed

When I was 12 or 13, my brother checked out Black Boy from the library and mailed it to me.

Man, the beginning of that book is crazy, how breh set his family's home on fire and then hid up under the house. I was randomly thinking about that last week. He knew he was gon get his ass beat, so he was hiding under his house and his daddy was yelling for him to come out but he refused cause he was scared of that whipping, meanwhile the house was burning and falling down.

Finally they got him from under the house and he did get that whipping that he was fearing They nearly whipped that boy into a coma and while that may seem harsh, if my son burned my house down, I'd probably the same thing
