Richard Pryor Telling The Truth About Our People Not Being Black in America

  • Richard Pryor telling the truth about how our people did not identify as being "Black". In the beginning they let you know that they knew the truth but later stray away to please the industry in order to make a dollar. It was a time when the younger generation was waking up before being put back to sleep through economic and social oppression.
    Disclaimer: People are not colors.
    So-called Blacks do not exist. People of African descent born in America are the only people who voluntarily identify with names that delude to slavery. 👀 Common sense 'aint common. What is your nationality?

    I don’t care who is being called the king of comedy 🎭 in 2022. This is the greatest comedian there is was and ever will be. R. I.P king 👑 Richard. I love how he goes into a trance and becomes 4-5 different characters at the same time. Genius

    i heard youtube comedians say "Pryors comedy didn't age well". "he's over-rated". what they don't realize is, every family had at least one person imitate mr. pryors comedy - we all heard it over again our entire lives. he's the voice of generations - taught many how to express themselves. he's part of culture - he's legendary.

    Like Michael Davis said...There was no one who could IMPROV like RICHARD! He had this incredible ability to BRING THE AUDIENCE into his world! When I listen to Richard, it's like I am there at that SPECIFIC MOMENT AND TIME of the events he's expressing! Also, PRYOR'S comedy was the essence of Black life in the late 60s and 70s! Every Black person could RELATE to what Pryor was saying. It resonates to this day!

    He turned his pain into laughter for everyone else. It was not just his comedy, but he went into the mind and thoughts of other people and reflected them back to themselves. He was so observant about the little details of society, people and how so many people put on a front but they are so corrupt that it's ridiculous. He was so badly abused that he had to use comedy to try and ease his own internal suffering and in the process brought laughter and healing to all of his fans. RIP Rich thank you for the laughs, you made life a bit easier for millions of people with your movies and your comedy.

    Greatest comedian of all time! No one comes close, not even Eddie Murphy and I love Eddie Murphy. No one could tell a story like Richard. Richard pryer was to comedy like Muhammad Ali was to boxing. He was a real comedian, very funny, full of charisma and charm. Richard could make u believe he was that character everyone, such as when he did mud bone the old wino, you could see him become that character, that was his baby. My favorite RP movie is "Which way Is Up". He did three different characters in that movie. He did numerous characters in a movie way before Eddie Murphy thought of it. The comedians they got now are not funny they just act stupid. There's a difference. Funny is Genius and stupid is just plain stupid. LOL

      Im a heavy drinker, so love the scene, but it is pretty shit once you see through it.
      Eddie Murphy is more in love with money than comedy, lets be real.
      Hires his whole family to direct a movie, plays all the roles himself.
      Beyond silly. And weird flex.

    I have been watching Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy standup comedies since childhood into adulthood. The craziest shit I can now see and respect is how People of Color "Black" in America (Turtle Island) BACK THEN were far more in touch with OUR origin story and spiritual principles without the assistance of TikTok, RUclips, or Instagram to circulate the information!
    Our people STUDIED (read, experimented, applied knowledge, created content and events) THEN and readily shared what could uplift their fellow brother or sister- to the point that mainstreamed "Black" comedian Richard Pryor dropped major gems of TRUTH all disguised in a whacky Black stereotype (actually ACRHETYPE energy) character voice with a whole lot of cussing and exaggerating to "shuck and jive" around the backlash of NON-MELINATED folk who provided access to "Hollywood".
    I see why they dropped crack in every hood just on time for the 80s shortly after knocking off all the new "Black Messiahs" from the 60s-70s as the Alphabet mafias put it in their "classified" papers :
    Martin
    Medgar
    Malcolm
    Bobby
    Huey
    and the list goes on as the ages go on...smh
    gems you may have snoozed on that's worth deeper thought:
    -black like the universe...666....carbon...melanin... dark matter...as above, so below
    -dispersal of tribes...paper genocide.. slave trades across the Americas
    -black people know God... we have our own spiritual connection with or without religion to guide our thinking or destiny
    -don't eat pork ... for all the reason Pryor joked off, but Dick Gregory Dr. Laila Afrika, Dr. Sebi, Dr. Blair all flat out explained
    (no judgement... wormwood herb is a good all natural and affordable parasitic detox)
    DAMN the SETBACK has been REEEAAAAL...😒 thanks HIP HOP infiltrators for bringing it on home.
