Richard Pryor was just plain awesome. I love how subtle his humor is in the first half. By the time he gets to his proclamations about the NFL I'm rolling!
When black folks are stereotyped it makes for a good laugh and no comedian could have done this better than Richard Pryor.
He probably never thought that a black man would become president of the US just a few years after his death. But it's not a joke anymore. It's for real.
"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Richard Pryor was one, if not the greatest comedian of all time along with Red Foxx, Flip Wilson, Steve Martin, George Carlin, Robin Williams, Robin Harris....hell, they're all funny!!!
I may be wrong but i though i heard that..... The comedy team Tim Reid and Tom Dreesen did a sketch where Reid was the president. They started doing comedy in 1968 So Tim Reid might be the first black prez.

Yes, we all know. I tend to judge people by the content of their character however.

@Janet: Please stop trolling my blog. You are extremely patronizing, and it is getting quite annoying.

I wonder what he would have said about Obama being president?
