I did not even consider the imagery in this story

I strongly disagree, and I am sure that Baldwin would, too, that there is "not one clear meaning or lesson in this story". There are many meanings and lessons in this story; too numerous to name. "Sonny's Blues" is intended for Black readers who know the inner-workings of urban communities. This analysis is another example of how Black lives are marginalized by non Black readers.

your comment literally made no sense. Since there is not a single, exclusive, clear meaning denotes that there are many meanings. And yes... this analysis screams black marginalization... the comment above, folks, is an example of racism

@@OxysLokiMoros Because I met Baldwin and talked to him when I was in high school. He died two years later.
