Think About It

Okay…. Once and for all….you can’t compare Richard Pryor to anyone, and you’re silly if you try.
You can ask yourselves who was the best…..it doesn’t matter!!!
Richard Pryor was a rebel who made people look at themselves…white and black or anything….he saw the imbalance and he pointed it out to everybody.
The 1960’s were a turbulent and dangerous time in our history.
He never singled out anyone in anger, he made fun of the situation, and through his whole life, if he saw something that wasn’t right, he”d let you know about it, through humor and embarrassment.
I can only believe, that when people like Martin Luthrer King Jr. and Robert F Kennedy were dying for what they believed in, it would make other people pause if they were on the same trail.
Richard Pryor took things from life that weren’t funny and made you laugh your ass off about it..and when you were done laughing….you would say to yourself….”Hey that wasn’t funny” and only then would you learn.
