Fuldheim was so lost; she didn't know people died on the street from poverty and that people who could help don't, and instead go on tv to rationalize poverty.
Fucking depressing when people are told to choose between THAT and "America was great back when blacks and women and gays and immigrants knew their place."
I never heard of this woman, Dorothy Fuldheim, in my life but she was a terrible guest and so privileged that she had no idea that people in America is starving....and they had the audacity to call her a great journalist.
And necessary. Even though things are better than they were back then. Many people in this country, white and black, still live under those conditions. I get where she is coming from. She never lived or experienced it and didn't see it where she was so like many people, if she doesn't see it, she doesn't believe it exists. These are some of the same people who thought a stimulus check was way too much money to give to people.
You would not know who she was if you were not from Cleveland, Ohio. She was the first female news reporter, anchor in the US at Channel 5 WEWS news ABC affiliate.
I don't think she was trying to be mean. I think she just had no clue. Richard Pryor was such a gentleman here. He kept making really good, serious points while still reminding people how funny he is.
How do you have no clue if you're not a fundamentally 'mean' person? White people 'I didn't know' their way out of some really blaring aspects of reality and aren't considered significantly brain damaged for it. If anyone doesn't know that there's homeless people in America, they have a psychiatric issue, or they're fundamentally a fucked up person.
There's a big difference in having no clue and acknowledging the fact you don't..... and having no clue and standing on your ignorance. White liberals encompass the latter
Dear, they're applauding because you painted a tiny bit of a picture and you consider it complete and beautiful, but he provided the bulk of it and proved it nightmarish and true, and he did so in two words.
Well she’s kinda right. Nobody in America HAS to starve or sleep on the streets. It’s deliberate neglect that allows for poverty to persist in a nation with plenty of resources.
I love this exchange so much. Here was the first female journalist and broadcast news anchor, who had interviewed people from Hitler, to Martin Luther King Jr. and was against things like publicly owned utilities and publicly owned railroads, but was a staunch advocate for birth control and social welfare programs. People are infinitely complex. It’s sometimes too easy to look at a snippet of someones life and where they betray their ignorance, and confuse it for something that encompasses their entire character. Richard Prior didn’t pull any punches, but he also tried to meet her where she was and use examples like Appalachia because he though it would be more digestible than black Americans starving and being poor. I think she just didn’t realize the extent to which people were suffering, and was being fed positive stats while others were down played, like we all are. I think a few more conversations with someone like prior and more people like prior in her life, not just because of race, but because of vast class and cultural differences would have convinced someone like that of their ignorance about a particular position, but the important thing even if it wouldn’t, was that one person showed themselves to be open to conversation and respectful, and the other person came off as condescending and totally convinced of their own positions in the moment even if it could be otherwise in a different context. You have an audience who is always watching, and even if you are convinced of the moral certitude of your positions, how you fame them and what you say does direct harm or can directly help how far your message goes and who is willing to hear it. We’re all human, and we’re all a tangle of deficits and virtues.
I wish this conversation could’ve gone on longer; I don’t know if she was misunderstanding him, or if she genuinely was clueless that there are people starving. In a lot of peoples worlds, there are churches that will help you and friends and family that will help you And indeed there are people that bring along disaster to themselves by bad decisions and choices But there are people that just don’t have family friends are net work to get the help they need. I actually think it’s easier now because there are more food banks, but you still have to be able to get to them. Only a few of them actually have a delivery type service and utilities have gotten so outrageous and any kind of rent or mortgage and property, taxes etc. we are making it more and more likely that people are going to be homeless and going to a soup kitchen
If you're finding it hard to believe that people can be that oblivious, I'd like to introduce you to America of the 20th & 21st Century. Infuriating, yes. Hard to believe ..?
So many people in America don’t read. We tend to take media at its word. Read a book about slavery or times during post reconstruction. Stop listening to others and find out for yourself. The way you view this country or yourself may change.
@@CLoveR52806 but arguably she never had to choose her opinion because she only experienced one side. That's where the ignorance comes from. If someone told you giraffes were real, you wouldn't need to believe them unless you saw them.
@@CLoveR52806 and I her time as a woman, she's experienced fighting for her voice (against men) and probably is disinclined to listen when someone tells her what to think...not saying this is good, just potentially explainable and possibly relatable
I would bet it’s very much a choice. I would bet she never changed a single bit in relation to this and she was confronted with the truth on national TV.
Idk how I found your channel but just know as a white guy in Canada I share alot of things with you about my parents etc. I don't want to take anything away from your experience or channel but just as you are not exactly like your parents you have to realize young white people aren't like old white people. We change this world together with love not hate
I’m from Cleveland. We had to put up with Dorothy Fuldheim. For the amount of drugs Richard Pryor did he was very coherent that night. You should find the tape of when she interviewed Jerry Rubin and threw him off the air.
Conservatives differ because they agree with what he's saying but believe the homeless/impoverished are responsible for their condition and lynchings occurred so far away in the past as to not even be relevant. Potato, Potàto..
Here's to all those "Good People," who remain so firmly dedicated to ensuring that "Nothing Fundamentally Changes."
Legendary Richard Pryor.
Fuldheim was so lost; she didn't know people died on the street from poverty and that people who could help don't, and instead go on tv to rationalize poverty.
Yeah, she gave me strong Hillary 2016 vibes in this interview. "America's already great"
Fucking depressing when people are told to choose between THAT and "America was great back when blacks and women and gays and immigrants knew their place."
“They were HER property “ 😏 📚
“Mothers of the Massive Resistance: White Women & the Politics of White Supremacy”
Exactly. Reading that book as we speak
💯
And they always want to over talk you too, like they just by default know better.
RICHARD PRYOR the G.O.A.T.
Wow!! That's like most conversations I have with most people.. Thanks for posting this!

Classic.
Her decedents are todays karens. Shying away from a truth that if addressed will crumble the foundation of everything they believe in.
His patience was unwarranted.
I love you and I love Richard Pryor, and I love this channel and its fans! And God bless us every one!
Thank you for posting this !!!!!
Post more of this type of content! Though I appreciate your monologues this is gold!

White women like her are the ones MlLK talked about in his speech.
She’s a polite racist.

the problem is not that she has no clue. Anyone can forgive that.
the problem is that she doesnt admit that she has no fucking clue.
The “No ma’am” was so cutting because she made his point for him and I think there’s a good chance she went to the grave and never knew that.
She knew that come on
This was a POWERFUL clip! Thx for sharing!
There's a reason they don't want real talk like this on mainstream media productions anymore
There are people living under every bridge in this country
Dear, they're applauding because you painted a tiny bit of a picture and you consider it complete and beautiful, but he provided the bulk of it and proved it nightmarish and true, and he did so in two words.
And they have not changed not one iota.
Thanks for posting this!
Richard had Johnny cracking up lol
Thank you, Irami!👏👏👏
Well she’s kinda right. Nobody in America HAS to starve or sleep on the streets. It’s deliberate neglect that allows for poverty to persist in a nation with plenty of resources.
Amen to that. Blacks in this country have more resources than ever before, and they still burn cities, and have disdain for this country. So leave
Right. That's the part I picked up on. I try not to let a single word get by me. Each word has meaning in a statement.
I love this exchange so much.

excellent vdeo
Hard to believe a person could be this oblivious

Infuriating, yes. Hard to believe ..?
Great post Irami
Thanks for sharing!
The more things change...
I loved Richard he always told the truth.
Monday night game please 🎉
Incredible ! 🫡
that woman was the original Karen !
So good

Me talking to most black politicians. 🤦🏾♂️
I saw this.
Talking to conservatives is impossible
Just like this, I do think it's often a matter of ignorance/naivety, not prejudice. People are dumb in the areas they don't know anything about.
At her age, ignorance was a choice
@@CLoveR52806 but arguably she never had to choose her opinion because she only experienced one side. That's where the ignorance comes from. If someone told you giraffes were real, you wouldn't need to believe them unless you saw them.

Is she a Daughter of the Confederacy?
She's not liberal.
A study in willful ignorance. Seems like a magnificent waste of time.
🤣
