Even as a young man, he's force to be reckoned with....A profound thoughtful and passionate human being...This is the generation of our fathers.....What is my generation? Who am I?
@motowninvestor: Dick later developed a strong interest in healthy living, made major changes in his 'habits' and became a nutritional consultant -- along with all the other things he does!
@marie1w In the early 60's and before the terms African-American and Black were not used. The terms of the day were "Colored" or "Negro". It was an insult to be called "Black". Times sure have changed.
His comparison between the good cop bad cop things is profound. It's like anything. Like racism. Theres southern in your face racism and then there is northern liberal quiet racism. Its still results in the same.thing. just one is easier to digest. For both white and black.
Dick Gregory was starting to gain weight here...probably before he started getting into his fasting, health food routine, cause I know he went up to over 300 lbs and would smoke and drink liquor.
some off these comedians had to study all things they say in explaining how to deal with issues in serious matters but making it funny for people to laugh at , all I know all black comedian's say white there white mangers tell them what to say
