Anytime I see Paul Mooney and Dick Gregory together, I’m listening…
Two pioneers who took one for the team.
These two kings the way Greg came in
2 of the smartest to ever live ✌🏽
This was the Roland Martin I grew up on I don’t know what happened to him now
These gentlemen were geniuses alright.
They were able to convey powerful messages & dropped knowledge through comedy.
Brilliant communicators & super intelligent.
This popped up in the algorithm and truth be told, I needed to hear about the last 15 mins to live segment 🤣🤣🤣. We will never be graced by this kind of fearless comedy ever again. Thank you Roland for being at his send off. It should’ve been on every news station.
Idk how I missed this 1
That "new rhythm" that Mr. Gregory was referring to was nothing like the rhythm that people like himself and Mr. Mooney brought to the culture. We need more people like the both of them. May they R.I.H.
Thanks for this. Not a wasted word in this video. Great video.
So handsome Paul!!!!
ALWAYS!
Love these two giants 💙
I met and had great talks with both of these giants.
Unmatched! RIP
The great Miles Davis RIP.
My 2 all time favorite comedians
Thanks for sharing two greats ❤️
Legends 🙏🏽
Thank You! They really don't make them like this anymore. R>I>P Legends!
Time well spent.
Paul Mooney should've said "Watch Miles Davis choke a White Man to death." 🤣😅😄😀.

Folk with a Legacy.
Knowledge
Watch the handshake. You have to watch.
I peeped that
What's wrong with the handshake? I didn't see nothing different
Did yall notice how they shook hands?😳
I saw that. Maybe that's their own inside thing. Just like how everyone does the the handshakes these days
They definitely didn’t do 🫱🏽🫲🏾… they grasped their forearms+wrists 👀
That’s what Israelites do and masons. Nothing spectacular
Where did they shake hands?
NOTHIN WRONG WITH HOW THEY SHOOK HANDS….. you must been born in 2018 because that’s an old way, of doing it.
Hus arrogance is hilarious.
The *GENERAL!* (eyes)
- these two have *fun*
god give us back paul mooney and will give u elena davis !!!
everything is going right over roland's head.....
😂
Handshake?
My uncle Punchy was funny without any effort.
We are God’s people 206 bones in the human body
Did ya see that hand shake? Yeah they both spoke truth but they both where still in bed with the industry. RIP to both 🙏🏾
You don’t know wth you’re talking about…..
Damn..
You tried but if you don’t know who they are, then you missed the whole show.
He helped him to sit down. It wasn't a hand shake
Hahaha you fucking insane, the industry HATED them big time. These two were extremely outspoken long before white people felt uncomfortable
We don’t want it to happen
Interviewer:If u had 15 minutes what would you do.
Miles Davis: choke a yt man to death.
Had to visit 1 time rip Mr Paul nd Mr Gregory.
Post racial? 😆😆
Is Paul still alive?
His career is not
...if race wars die.
Ok .i had to see this . cause I never seen Dick laught . or say anything funny .
Insight is not comedy.
Motivational speakers are knot taken for a joke.
The past is the passed.
Confident idiots always seem "justified"
...if they were insecure, who would strengthen to their *"insight"?*
