Dick Gregory was one of the most brilliant minds of and in American history. His words are as true today as they were when this was recorded. He was a teacher of liberty for all peoples. RIP Dick ❤️💪🙏
As a 72 years old Black American Man living in The United States Of American and listen to the speech Dick Gregory gave at Kent State in 1971, our Country remains just as ills in 2021, as it was then. In fact, one could say our condition as a whole, has changed for the worse. Why? There are numerous reasons for the sad state of our health decline, such as the citizens of our Country's inability to recognize the Good people from the Bad, or just look the other way and hope things will change for the better. News Bulletin. As long as the power decision-makers of our country continue to treat the Black Americans Race as an unclean sponge, allowing immigrants to receive financially assistance, whereas we as a Race get to talk about reparation, instead of a Money payout for the cruelty our Ancestors experience. Just a damn shame.
@ Bgood2life, As a white man, I will never fully understand the feelings or injustices that people of color, Black Americans in particular, because I never lived it. I can only imagine it, and empathize with it. I was an angry and violent young man. When my crew went out on Friday night, we would not start fights, but we ended them. We brawled in the bars and in the street. I could not , at that age let the fact that my grandparents had to sit at the back of the bus, or use a different bathroom, and hear them say "yessir" to some white kid , when HE should say excuse me sir, in respect for my grandpop! I would have been 5 times as angry had I been a young black man. Chances are that I would be behind bars for attempted murder. Slavery has gone on since man walked on two legs. Slavery would not have made me angry, but the B.S. that was heaped on my family and myself would have made me a ticking time bomb.
@@bgood2lifealways36 That does not sound strange to me . I would grab a beer with you any time and we would find many common beliefs, we might have different skin, but I think we are two men that could very easily talkabout any number of topics. I wish you all the best my friend. I think both of us are quite aware that this system, penal system that is, is broken, and it has been for a long time. Cops are totally out of control, innocent men are put in the stir every day, and it must stop. You know, when I was in my 20`s I was deathly afraid of doing time for a crime that I did not commit. Well ,it almost happened, but my reaction to the accusation sent me in to a fury right in the police station. It took 4 cops to pull me off the detective. His name was Steve Toth, and I bought my first car off of him. They all knew I was indeed furious at their accusation, and backed right off when I told them to do any an all searches and lie detector tests, witnesses, blah blah. They never called me back in for questioning. I will never support the Death penalty, and that is one big reason. Sorry I chewed your ear off, but a flood of emotions came over me. Peace!! 🕸😲
He was back on campus for the 41st(?) memorial. I felt so lucky to see him speak. I wonder what the students thought about his old style jokes. I loved them, but I was born in the late 1960s, so I grew up with that sensibility.
I listened to this lecture on vinyl back in 80 's and it still make me have goose bumps how relevant it is even today. The army intelligence bid still kills it😅😅😅😅
One of my inspirations Baba Dick Gregory. He literally changed part of my subconscious through his humor but yet unembellished truth!!! Especially in his older years 💯
A Fearless Warrior That Was Way Ahead Of His /This Time. Baba Gregory, You've Taught A Nation Well. It's Been A Pleasure Knowing You...Rest In Power❤🖤💚 !
Pure brilliance. This is the wickedly funny Dick Gregory I remember. Thank you so much. I look forward to listening to this again and again, so much truth.
Man, I wish that guy who's introducing him at the beginning would wrap it up and let Dick Gregory do his thing! Not sure how anybody could be so funny after an announcer like that... it's like he was giving a eulogy.
i listened to this a while ago and thought it sounded dated but right now it's sounding as good as 10 or 12 other records by him i've enjoyed recently. thank you. thank you. thank you.
@ gymeni, No, no please Do not connect the highly intelligent, inspirational , funny and speaker of truths , Baba Dick Gregory, with Monster Farce-a-Con. It is an insult to Baba Gregory.💥👁

Mr. Gregory expressed his thoughts and truths with a candid humor always portraying the human condition as a malady which is both fleeting and present all the time.
OMG I’ve Been Looking for this for Years!!! Early Dick Gregory gives you a clear insight into the coming dangerous workings of the Growing America Empire.
great listening, while listening gives growth because it makes us focus on the words, video of this session would have been great also....BUT what I love is @ 37:29 - 37:32 even then...NO ONE HAS TIME FOR KAREN's.
So sad this message went in one ear and out the other, this country does not deserve a man like Dick Gregory, USA should change it's name to United States of Amnesia
Precisely 💜 Revelation 12 verses 3-13 puts it this way, “So DOWN the great dragon was hurled……the one called Devil and Satan…..he was hurled down TO THE EARTH (more specifically to a realm in the vicinity of the earth)” and he is **Misleading** the entire inhabited Earth.
When Dick (born in 1932) was in his 70’s, he totally looked like Grady in hiis 40’s Grady, played by Whitman Mayo (born 1930), was only 42 to 47 years old during ‘Sanford…’ run yet he looked 70+.
I haven’t heard this since the 70s. I bought this after I had heard the Frankenstein album. The war in Vietnam was still raging, President Nixon was president. A very divisive time. I was only about 11 or 12 yo. This brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for posting. I think it shows an exceptional amount of wisdom to know about obtain and then post this material. Technology is just incredible these days.
Well that lady was put in her place 😂she didn’t realise he hates ignorance u should know better then to challenge a man that has so much knowledge in his head if u haven’t realised all comedians are very in tune with what is going on that’s why they are funny I think very broad minded people I look up to this man like most look up to entertainers
Dick Gregory was one of the most brilliant minds of and in American history. His words are as true today as they were when this was recorded. He was a teacher of liberty for all peoples. RIP Dick ❤️💪🙏
That is correct. I am just now getting to know his comedy. One word.for his comedy. Remarkable!!
He was a truther to the core. I miss him and I never met him.
This is my favorite channel on UA-cam and I got a UA-cam channel.. U GUYS ARE VITAL.. 🙏 thank you your work does not go unnoticed.
Just wanted to thank God for putting air in Bro Gregory he always spoke the truth rest in ❤peace
Wow the best comedy that I ever heard period . This should be the one that all comedians be required to listen too.

@@gib59er56 as strange as it might seem, you sound like the type of person I could break bread with and have a beer or two. Real Talkie Talk.

Dick Gregory is was a master teacher and consciousness raiser.

For 8million dollars I could run for God -Dick Gregory

PROFESSOR Gregory EnLightens in (Great) Bold type.
3:46 Dick Gregory begins
"If this is really an example of 'One Nation under God,' I'd sure as Hell would hate to see one nation under the Devil..." INDEED!

He was Brilliant
✌🏽🖤🙏🏽🌹🌹
4:16
@17:00 min mark he mentions how he could run for, God😂😂
Devastating to think that this was in 1971. It’s 2024 and we have the SAME problems. Pathetic.
he sounds like Grady from Sanford and Son.
When Dick (born in 1932) was in his 70’s, he totally looked like Grady in hiis 40’s
Grady, played by Whitman Mayo (born 1930), was only 42 to 47 years old during ‘Sanford…’ run yet he looked 70+.
Well he get his mama
Sad. Nothing changed for the better. But everything changed for the worse.
I certainly got my little fat nose and big lips.
Did you request this from Kent State?
Just want to know why I’ve never found this!?
Its an oop LP
@@reelblack You have all types of cool gems. This was 🔥 Thanks for responding ✌🏾

@@Cookefan59 At the age of 11 or 12 you had listened to the Frankenstein album and bought this? These days.........SMH
