A loss we can't really afford.
I watched 20 seconds of this shortened clip of a much longer recorded panel I saw on Facebook but I can't be tasked with arguing its authenticity just FYI. If at some point he stops talking about a "Motherless America" google "Dick Gregory+CSPAN".

I saw that and it is a real loss. One of the best things on Twitter last night was reading all of the personal tributes to him from people who knew him and the incredible respect they had for him. I had never heard the story about him directing thousands of protestors to his personal home.

Oh, darn. He was such a wonderful human being.
Here is a great quote from him "I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that."

I heard that first thing this morning and it made me sad. Rest In Peace Dick Gregory.

Saw this last night and it made my heart ache. An important voice has been silenced.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I had never heard the story about him directing thousands of protestors to his personal home. It was wonderful seeing all the tributes. I loved seeing the youthful photos of him as well. |
