Pasty white guy here. I come back to this video once every few months to watch a Jedi master of civil rights own the room. Mr Gregory should be taught in schools. And his timing should be taught in music/drama class.
Prince showed this to me in Miami, Florida at the The Fontainebleau Hotel. Prince, Larry Graham and I, no lie. RIParadise, Prince and Larry. Make some awesome music for the heavens and watch our back from the other side. I'll never forget you. Until we meet again, Godspeed.
What kills me, is when everybody's dieing laughing..he still able to keep a serious face while looking around wondering what everyone is laughing about...with an occasional "Huh"????LMAO
met him once, walking up Pennsylvania Ave, in my hometown Wash/DC...towards George Washington Univ campus. I was headed to work in Georgetown...he was headed towards the school. I slowed down and extended my hand to shake his "hey, Mr Gregory...its an honor, Sir"...he warmly shook my hand and comes back with "How you doin', son?...trust me, its more of an honor meeting you"...he walked away, waving over his shoulder. Never forgot that...and it is one of the great moments of my life, truth be told. If its a big deal, meeting someone like Jay-Z...why cant it be a bigger deal, meeting someone like Mr Gregory, who helped pave a way for a Jay-Z?
One to the funniest and most insightful men I have had the privilege to watch. The 'Bill Clinton' stint had me laughing and crying at the same time. Gone but will never be forgotten.
You will be missed Mr. Gregory. I remember this even 9 years ago and it is unfortunate that you preached the truth then, and so little has changed... :-/ May you rest in peace. We will miss you.
I think Mr. D.Gregory is quite hilarious, and very informative upon a lot of issues he speaks upon. I hope the younger generations do revere him and listen to his messages. To look up history for themselves and seek the truth out for their own beliefs.
This man is just Great!! It takes more than ticket sales to be A TRUE KING of COMEDY!!To make people laugh and teach at the same time is truly a GIFT!!
"I'm not talking about the ones we know about.....I'm talking about the ones we don't know about......and thank god there is a god who knows all the names."
Brother Dick Gregory has long represented the best of the best in terms of depth and focus on whatever the subject,especially unity and dignity as a people....
Using my fingers brought me here... Dick Gregory... always wise... and humorous. One should hold tight to the words of all the elders.... They are so tried and seasoned... to the all the many forces, of this world.
Mr. Gregory was more than a comedian. He was a man full of wisdom. If you were smart you would take time to listen to him. On August 20, 2017 the Lord called him home. Mr. Gregory you will be miss. I thank you for your laughs and your wisdom. R.I.P my brother. R.I.P.
I love this man so much just because his wisdom made me the person I am today. Deep down inside his wisdom made my wisdom more powerful...Mr. Gregory you are the man RIP
MY BROTHA MY FRIEND, I RESPECT THE MOST HIGH FOR HAVING SUCH GRACE TO ALLOW YOU TO TOUCH THE MASSES MAY YOUR SOUL REST AND MAY YOU FEEL FOREVER PEACE WHERE EVER YOUR SOUL MY BE WELL DONE BROTHA WELL DONE ✊🏿✊🏿🖤☺️#BLACKEXCELLENCE
I know right...He is an inspiration to not just grow old, but wise. We all need surround ourselves with elders and babies more. If we did so we would never lose perspective on what is really important. Life is too precious and too short (so to speak) to rob, kill, and steal from each other at the rate we do in this world. Great comments and parallel you expressed.
DG tells it like it is...take that for what its worth, History has spoken and it still speaks, a lot say yes I am listening....But do you really HEAR THE WORDS?? I will leave that just like that!!!!
Mr. Gregory's delivery, passion and wealth of knowledge is amazing. Check out his website. He was the one who said "Blackwater was in New Orleans" before CNN started using the mercenaries' group name (before, they were just "civilian contractors").
Some of you youngsters do not realize that Dick Gregory was a professional comedian before he became an activist. I am so glad you guys are enjoying this comedic genius whose career was nearly destroyed because he took a stand for civil and human rights in the 1960s!!
This was inspirational, and yet he was so funny. And I can't believe I was the one to have to come across this, cause I usually would care less about CNN. But I stayed and watched and I had to see a second time. Thanx for posting this up.
Lord have mercy. I've got to send you a shout and a hallelujah because I was born at Grady Hospital's Hughes Spalding Pavillion back in 1960. It is good to be a native, ain't it?!?!
This is what a good comedian can do, he can make you laugh without being vulgar! Like a good rapper, not only rhyming words together but also telling a story in the process. "Gas card" was classic!
"I passed the white guy from Wal-mart. I had to thank him because the prices were so low he didn't have to shoplift me a Christmas gift this year." Great stuff. Dick Gregory is the realest dude of all time. (And I'm a white dude). He's a great American irregardless of race.
Yes thank you PRINCE! Im so sad that I never looked at this until I watched the Prince interview! Prince still working his magic even in death! RIP Prince
I pushed message of Chemtrails being sprayed in our skies beginning in 2003. It was 2009 when Prince realized the COMPLETE TRUTH and he wrote "Dreamer". Merle Haggard wrote "What I Hate" exposing chemtrails and Government corruption. I posted online many times in the last 2 years "Prince is next" but NOBODY to date has contacted me with "Wow KC, you told us so". I was taught when I was a child "The truth will set you free". It was in the last 10 years I leaned the TRUTH will "GET YOU KILLED" in this country (and esp in Mississippi where I am) I am KC and I approve this message PS..you can read my full life story in GQ Magazine (10 page feature/cover) www.gq.com/story/paul-kevin-curtis-elvis-impersonator-ricin-assassinations Email me: Kevincurtislive@aol.com
I LOVED this!! SMH@ the LIARS in the comment section saying he was blaming the white man in this video. Which video did YOU watch??? You have to be really remedial to have construed that from anything Mr Gregory here. Typical ofay.
The truth is the truth no matter what color your skin is. Humans need to SEE, SEE, SEE what is already HERE. Its already HERE. This is a smart guy. A smart guy who can SEE.
IM HERE after the prince interview on Tavis Smiley
Which one?🤔
Lmao saaaaame
Me too…
Same...
@@nylawellington1285 🙌🏾💯😊
Always come back here every so often to honor Mr. Gregory.
Pasty white guy here. I come back to this video once every few months to watch a Jedi master of civil rights own the room. Mr Gregory should be taught in schools. And his timing should be taught in music/drama class.
Interesting how you see this as him “owning” an entire stadium of people
Y’all some weird people and the word usage is very revealing .
@@ReadingComprehension8X get over yourself. He was giving a compliment. Good lord son.
@@Ronin_Noir I know
Praise God for Prince! Thank you God for Dick Gregory! BOTH Cherished sons of the most high.
We loss a great one August 19, 2017, but he will never be forgotten. Thank you Mr. Gregory for your laughs and wisdom. May you R.I.P.

+Matt Humphrey prince just like bowie ,,,was an intelligent man ,,,they both were concerned and spoke about the state of this planet
Prince sent me here, Thanks Prince....R.I.P I needed this information
me too!
"I don't need to talk about the filth, the filth speaks for itself." This sticks with me, came back to watch again. Cheers everyone.
What kills me, is when everybody's dieing laughing..he still able to keep a serious face while looking around wondering what everyone is laughing about...with an occasional "Huh"????LMAO
I love the unprecedented and profound knowledge of Mr. Dick Gregory.
Deeply saddened that this brilliant mind is no longer with us.

Rest In Power Dick Gregory!!! He had an uncanny talent of finding humor in everything while making us think at the same time. Truly extraordinary!
One to the funniest and most insightful men I have had the privilege to watch. The 'Bill Clinton' stint had me laughing and crying at the same time. Gone but will never be forgotten.
Mr. Gregory might you be in heaven, and your wisdom is needed here. I LOVE you brother.
You will be missed Mr. Gregory. I remember this even 9 years ago and it is unfortunate that you preached the truth then, and so little has changed... :-/
May you rest in peace. We will miss you.
Dick Gregory is man with a lot of wisdom, he puts it together in a comedic sense,and sometimes life in its true sense can be funny.
I'm 15 and i must say I love listening to this man, this is my first time listening to him and it's great.
I think Mr. D.Gregory is quite hilarious, and very informative upon a lot of issues he speaks upon. I hope the younger generations do revere him and listen to his messages. To look up history for themselves and seek the truth out for their own beliefs.
I love this man,will live on
forever;Tell it Mr Dick Gregory,may be joking but it's the truth.
I always had mad respect and love for Dick Gregory. ..
When Mr. D. Gregory speaks it can cause your entire perspective to change. Truely awesome!
This man is just Great!! It takes more than ticket sales to be A TRUE KING of COMEDY!!To make people laugh and teach at the same time is truly a GIFT!!
There will never be another black state of the union. Thank you for posting.
If you didn’t know about Dick Gregory you definitely missed out ; but here’s the chance to get to know him
I miss his spirit. I met him
Still in disbelief of this great loss .had to re watch this in your memory which will live on
PRINCE! Thank you for sharing this with me. Much Love!

Thank you Prince for leading so many to the TRUTH before "they" killed you
Oh wow! I miss this great man..........100 SALUTE
"I'm not talking about the ones we know about.....I'm talking about the ones we don't know about......and thank god there is a god who knows all the names."
Brother Dick Gregory has long represented the best of the best in terms of depth and focus on whatever the subject,especially unity and dignity as a people....
Prince mentioned Mr. Gregory bringing up Chem Trails during this event. Guess what year he talked about that and the human genome? 2016
Prince Roger Nelson made me aware of this man! thank you!
Using my fingers brought me here... Dick Gregory... always wise... and humorous. One should hold tight to the words of all the elders.... They are so tried and seasoned... to the all the many forces, of this world.
THIS is who I want in my inner circle, nothing less. GOD BLESS HIM!
PRINCE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REFERRAL! (RIP)
The great Mr. G, R.I.P. GOD BLESS HIS SOUL PLEASE
