Richard Pryor's political views

Hello all,

My name is Aaron Sell and I'm a researcher at the Center for Evolutionary Psychology. I'm working on a study that contrasts the political views of action stars, dramatic stars and comedic stars. I had subjects generate a lists of their favorite stars. Not surprisingly, Richard Pryor came up as one of the comedic stars.

I'm looking for information about Mr. Pryor's political views, particularly about the war in Iraq, the war on terror, and the Vietnam War. If that isn't known or if he didn't have definitive attitudes about them, do you know if he considered himself a Democrat or Republican?

If you could email me at: sell@psych.ucsb.edu, or post your response here I would be very grateful. Thank you.
