  • the mother of America is ancient Babylon; as it is referred to in Isaiah 47 as "the daughter of Babylon"

  • i gave that dude a few dollars the other day!

  • I totally agree about 2:00 never slowing down.

    This ridiculous world just keeps moving without stopping to really inspect itself and bathe and nurse its wounds like he said.

    It just puts some new clothes on by starting some foundation or giving out medals ....shallow acts

  • @11mac11s Way to take the lead and the high road...

  • @singledad1234 The NWO effects the entire world you dope. And I'm not American.

    Dumb liberal cracker.

  • @singledad1234 lmao you pathetic cracker. shut the fuck up. be sorry only for your own actions you dumb fuck, otherwise, your words are worthless & FAKE.

  • on real person on stage is DICK GREGORY everyone else are lying sacks of shit!

  • @riahasays amen. thats why blacks never really get anywhere as a unit. all these people are bought and paid for.

  • The native Americans knew that the earth is their mother...Maybe getting back to ecology and respecting the earth and mother nature and women in general can start to get us there. We do all need someone to bring us up right and tell us gently but strongly and consistently what is right from wrong. And to respect all living things because God made them.

  • yeah willie lynch was a real evil ass dude! he stated that he would create a system to opress and inslave blacks for 400 years(it's in his book) well it worked we've been messed up in america for a long time,but i think that time is up!

  • BLACK POWER!

  • I feel you Dick but don't be so selfish to forget about the indigenous natives of our country. We seem to have gone through the worst and are easily forgotten. That is why I have a hard time listening to all this black oppression talk.

  • @TheHashtonKusher True. I feel Gregory's indignation and agree with most of it but the Natives are the ones who really got the shaft.

  • I truly hope that if the world and humanity were destroyed and restored millions of years later that some history about the legacy of racism will somehow survive and be discovered and future humanity will learn from this history and NEVER enact this horrible system of judgment/discrimination upon people on the basis of the color of their skin. The world would be a better place without it.

  • if a white person did this it would be a hate crime

  • everyone here should read howard zinns book "the history of america" and get a better understanding of the truth and about where racism starts cuz racism is not something natural and its not a black white thing becuz whtes were slaves right along side the blacks and racism was invented so the two wont come toghther and overthrow thier slve owners and its still going on today

  • he needs an oscar, emmy's, naacp, golden globe, black reel awards,name it!i dun give a f$*k if its for actors/musicians,but he deserves all of those for he has spoken on behalf of all...

  • Mr Gregory tells the truth the whole truth

  • Huh! HUH!

  • THIS MAN IS AN ICON IN OUR HISTORY > THIS IS NOT IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS!

  • Dick Gregory is the TRUTH.

  • Lol @ Dr pepper

  • As one who doesnt mind about color, i appoligize for the white people who abuse other people, since i stayed away from the sun, the system is a snake

  • Nice one jew man. Better luck next time.

  • @HardBodyNyC you choose intelligence over wisdom?

  • In what respect?

  • What a great mind, what a wisdom,what a conscience.. a multicolored one for real.

    just feel adressed and you might get a bit of decency u.s.america.

    I mean i never heard a better parable, i never did. "you never cleaned up the filth over 400 years.you

    just put a new suit on and then wonder who is stinking."

    and i´m a mixed one from germany and i feel him so much.

    Due to that simple and deep truth we ought to not never

    accept the u.s. as some kind of a worldwide police or conscience.

    Think!!

  • Im just now learning about Dick Gregory and I love him already...Wake Up People

  • he is on point. he is amazing

  • Comment removed

  • Re :THE REAL BLACK PRESIDENT ="JOHN HANSON,"THEN IT WILL TAKE YOU FROM THERE.HE WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A." UNDER THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS".George washington was a general under his administration.You can find this infomation on the internet,or the library of congress.He is also on the back of the 2dollar bill.HOTEP!!!

  • Truth sayer; long may you wave!

  • WHO STINKIN???

  • gimme a pepper...a chili pepper...lol

  • Dick's right about the Black Women in the USA,but Cynthia McKinney is the ONLY Strong Independent Black Woman that hasn't been afraid to Speak Out against the Injustices of the USA. Obama,Powell and the "New" Rice like the "Old" Rice don't possess the Courage of the Dick Gregorys,MLK and Malcolm X ,plus the host of Other True STRONG Black Men and Women who weren't Afraid to Die for their HUMAN Rights. Dick tells some Honest truths that ALL people Not just Black  people need to HEAR. PEACE.

  • @suzieq0452 Yup...Cynthia McKinney puts her self in danger in Gaza on behalf of the Palestinians while Obama cooks Yemeni children with drones...and yet its funny how she gets ignored and he lauded in the black community.

  • "Condi" was where she was because she was Lord Bush's smokin' hottt mistress. She also knew enough dirt on him to destroy him.  Mutually Assured Political Destruction with enough bump n' grind to make it mutually agreeable.

    After the hoopla over being promoted to security adviser and then secretary of state, she was promptly pushed into the background. Real policy wonks and globalist goons did all the work for her. She only came out to sign off on what they did.

  • The chili pepper joke gets me every time, lol.

  • shame on condeleeza rice too!

  • You know its funny....the issue is, that african-american people feel unequal, they will never be what the white man is, and always be beneath whites. OR so they think. But you know what? I don't think I have ever, OR WILL EVER see a huge room full of WHITE people, sit around and talk mad shit on BLACK people...make jokes and refer to african americans as "ghetto ass niggers" like MISTER GREGORY referred to white men as "red neck crackers"...THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!!

  • @santer76 they do its called the kkk, bnp, the republican party, white nationalists etc the only difference is that unlike those cowards black people are not afraid to show and express their anger.

  • @babyfods18

    You are a dipshit.

    C Span will never cover a white state of the union, NEVER.

  • I love my people and especially when we are gathered in such grace & togetherness. You can feel the support & love thru this video.

  • turtle power......

    

  • I have never heard the truth before this moment. To listen to this man is to register the quietest places of my spirit that I never knew existed. Dick Gregory is the physical incarnation of inspiration, catharsis, intelligence, and redemption. He, like many of my heroes, not only gives the priceless, visceral spirit of black folks back to those who have been robbed, but as a white woman bearing witness, I am saved by some unknown hand for hearing it.

  • @writedmc so true. i'm not american but i connect with dick gregory's ideas on multiple levels. i have made it a point to watch these videos periodically and everytime i do, i learn something new. i'm glad to learn that people from other backgrounds do connect and identify with some of what he says. thanks a lot for your brilliant post.

  • @writedmc well spoken, hallelujah to ya

  • they got a soda pop in america blacker then her they call her dr pepper!!!

    lol werkkkkkkkkk !!!!!!!

    allright for going innn!!!

    letting them have !!!!!!

  • nothing but a bunch a racist morons brainwashed by their corporate masters , enjoy sheep

  • I'm watching this because of Prince as well. I googled 8 presidents before Washington. It came up. I want the truth too.

  • America will collapse. Its prophecised.

  • SPEAK DICK!!!! ALL TRUTH!!

  • Here is one of the men, they would shoot, like Dr King, if we would dare vote the likes of him into office,

    America has risen like the lamb and now speaks as the dragon. Evil Evil Evil...

    Men like this make me weep for the good men to come back....

  • @carpenter0909 agree, forget obama give us the real deal, but noooo they scared

  • wooord! :D

  • i love this man!!!

  • Oh my gosh, we soo need Dr. Gregory forever and ever. I love this man. With all of the horrible things being said about black women, my ears are feeling good hearing him say beautiful things about us. Whew!! Thank you Heaven for this man! Can you send more like him?

  • Dr. Pepper!

  • laptop $800, internet $15,the look on those white people face @ 00:45

  • I ike this wee black man hes really funny and pssioate about his beliefs but is,nt time the black folks moved on from the persacution complex that seems to be rife among black actavists,if you consiintrate on this negative factor you give it more lfe and more strength you must move on from this poor black woman mindset and just believe that you can do whatever you really want or you can be the catalist for the next person because sometimes this is what you are supose to be.

  • @janetlee08 ur saying its better to ignore these issues and let them just die down... i'm Black. I was one of 5 Black students in my high school during my senior year. I turned in a project once, stayed up entire nights... I got 98%. Really an outstanding grade. My teacher loved it. But before I turned it in, ANOTHER student looked at my work and copied a great deal of it, almost identically... he scored 100%.

  • @janetlee08 The story I just told you, probably didn't sound like much to you. No big deal, right? Well... that shit killed me. That happened almost a decade ago. I still think about it. The issues they're talking about here are WAY more heavy. If my little story affected me so deeply, could you imagine what these stories mean. If not, I guess I envy you a bit. You'll never have to know or understand what it actually means to be Black in America.

  • The white racist system isn't the blame anymore, maybe 40 years ago but not now. Now it's black people who are the problem themselves. The glorification or misogynist hip/hop culture on tv/radio, ignorance/laziness and the "stop snitching" movement are to blame for the destruction of black culture.

  • Wow - it is refreshing to hear someone say what you said. We have to stop blaming 'the man'. It has become a crutch and a tool of laziness to throw around.

  • if obama was as dumb as bush and still got elected, then you might be right, but....uhm institutional racism is alive and well in the US. If you can't see or understand that, then you lack a complete understanding of what it means to be black in America. If you want evidence, just start with the inequalities in the US Justice system.

  • @StanHowser. Are you referring to the hip hop culture currently shaped by a majority of white corporate media executives, the tv/radio that has been known to host racist/sexist/capitalistic ideas of patriarchal (controlled by white male society) dominance, the constant dedication to prosper against people like you who think the hard work for black people is finding the job, or the manhood that fashions anger as a proper way to express white patriarchal masculinity? Who's fault is it again?

  • Light mails of exedra, exegesis, warted trolls... there's public indebtedness & then there's generosity.

  • As fire (heat) is the direct cause of cooking, so knowledge and not any other form of discipline, is the direct cause of liberation; for liberation cannot be attained without knowledge...Action cannot destroy ignorance, for it is not in conflict with ignorance. Know-ledge alone destroys ignorance, as light destroys dense darkness.  — Roy Davis: "The Path of Soul Liberation"

  • I found out about this man after watching an interview that Prince gave and i have to say that this man knows what he's talkin about.

  • at 2:53 "They gotta soda pop in America blacker than her they call DR. Pepper" LMAO!

  • huh!?

  • I had never heard of this man...I found this through another search If we had more people that thought and spoke the way he does our world would be a whole different place.

  • He's a dipsomaniac.

  • Gregory has more courage, pride and self determination and intelligence than obviously you ever will

    You are jealous of him admit it,

    don't be jealous just get some courage yourself!

  • Thinkinawink1...well said!

  • Now how did you come to that conclusion?

  • Dick Gregory risks what he has for the betterment of other people everyday. If thats humiliation then let us all be humiliated!

  • Dick Gregory is on the ball.Tell the truth young man.

  • "black women who conduct themselves like men and most are dykes while ignoring black men and their struggles who are the most threatening to this institutionlized white racist system" are u serious! come on! black men of course has been through alot within the past few centuries but one of most down-trodden is the black female. i saw this from just my own experience within my houshold. i didnt have to look at any national statistics! hes speaking truth bra!

  • I feel u. But i believe that alot of the problems facing blacks is due to our failure 2 unite. Why should black men and black women constantly be in competition? Why can't we just acknowledge each other's struggles and help each other thru them rather than saying 'we go through more than u go through'?

  • say it Mr. Gregory.....u telling the truth brother........

  • this dude reminds me of my uncle , lol1 dude is powerful!

  • i have and will always love this man. he speaks truth.

  • Thank God somebody has mental clarity on the issues.

  • LMAO, Dick Gregory is my DUDE, lol.

  • @psychmaj323 :they got a soda pop in america blacker then her they call her dr pepper!!!

    lol werkkkkkkkkk !!!!!!!

    allright for going innn!!!

    letting them have !!!!!!

  • To learn more about the first presidents of the British American colonies, you may do a google search for::

    The First Continental Congress &

    The Second Continental Congress.

    This was before America got her Independence from England.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Didnt see my com. post So Ill ask again Can anyone point me in the direction where I can find Real American history? i.e. we had 8 presidents before George. I WANT THE TRUTH

  • Umm Thank you to everybody out there for the people that suggested the great truth books. My eyes are WIDE open now! And I am telling anyone one who will listen WAKE UP!

  • America (deep sigh) is not even a country we are a Federal Corporation. The Truth can be real ugly sometimes but I would rather know the Whole Truth. Stay in LOVE my fellow Truth Seekers.

  • Thanks to Prince for suggesting I watch this and ok can anyone point me in the direction where I can find out America's real history? i.e. We had 8 presidents before George but were not taught this in public school.hhmm I want the TRUTH

  • @MiaEZ John Hanson....start there. They were technically leaders of the Articles of the Confederation. John Hanson was the 1st black president, technically speaking, o fhte U.S.

  • It's a really good point you have. We deserve to know the truth whether we are black, white, red, yellow... it doesn't matter WHERE we came from we deserve the TRUTH! It's preposterous to think we've been LIED to for so many years! We need this truth so we can understand what's really going on. Hell we don't even need truth. What we need is a better way of living and loving each other. We need to appreciate black history for all their accomplishments and learn to love each other!

  • @xirishmagicx

    The sad thing is that these idiots, DON'T want to come together.

    These people are fucking racist asses who dare to call themselves civil rights leaders.

  • @MiaEZ Read Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States.

  • @MiaEZ Fortunately I had a history teacher in high school that uncovered that for us and it wasn't in our textbooks! Under the Articles of Confederation (pre-Constitution) John Hanson was the first President of the United States and he fought hard against his opposition who wanted to make George Washington the King of America! Everything we've been told is a lie.

  • @domarigavjusmom Your leaving out that George Whashington himself

    also fought not to become "The King Of America"

  • @MiaEZ IF YOU ARE BLACK, THEN I SUGGEST WILLIE LYNCH, FOR A START.

  • Im loving this

  • he spoke the truth here. this is the truth.

  • that's what's up.

  • the truth hurts

  • Grow up Nazis!!! Hitler never loved you. Nazism is ours in America now and we bask in its warming light! Long live our Nazi leanings! Our Nazi mulatto leader and the whole Hee Haw gang: Roy Clark, Buck Owens, Gunilla Hutton, Misty Rowe, Junior Samples, Lisa Todd, the Hager twins, Archie Campbell, Gordie Tapp, Grandpa Jones, George Lindsey and the late String Bean!!!

  • The U.S. is further removed from Christian law & tradition now than at any time since its founding. Adore/abhor: The facts of this world aren't in the filthy clutches of atheistic revisers of history. I prefer to read accounts of great events written at the time or soon thereafter. I just finished Blackford's: "Letters from Lee's Army". I maintain a healthful distrust for those in academia who are tenured & locked in. Nature corrects herself as the world's in constant flux.

  • He's spot on, but I think they call Condoleeza Rice "Condi" because she's slim and attractive. You couldn't say the same for Janet Reno and Madeleine Albright, they're ugly old bags.

  • this guy is talking out of his ass and its the same color as him if he wants to be so obsessed about color his shit is the same color as "dr pepper" and we all call it shit not

    "dr shit"

  • Shame this beautiful man does not represent all nationalities. The world could really use him...

  • As a Native American, I must say I agree with you. I couldnt help but think of our people listening to him. He really is a great Wisdomkeeper.

  • wisdomkeeper, I like that native brethren!

  • The man speaks the truth. I enjoy this every year becasue it speaks truth but I wish my black people would to put in to action what they applaude. Get out into our community and make it better Chose you mates wisely that goes for women as well as men.

    Project morales, values and character just like our ancester did and what Bro. Smiley is trying to do will not be in vain.

    Step up and hold only hold others accountable but hold yourself accountable for you actions, words and deeds.

  • Only a healthy brain can categorize an image. Nonetheless we are greatly crippled by our meager senses. The physical laws as we know them are just that: as we know them. [At the Nuremberg show trials the soldiers, and political underlings, of defeated Germany said that they were just following orders. Young men fight these wars of pelf because their fathers have failed them.]

  • "Atheism" entails the worship of Man & thus secularism. It denies self-sovereignty, therein lies the conundrum of "atheists" & their strange devotion to worshiping one another.

  • That beard on Bill Crosby suits him.

  • wow thats powerful

  • He makes a great point

  • Positive Brown man.

  • too serious

  • PROFOUND

  • White America keep running around the issues of slavery in an unending evasion bid, but it is right there at the core being of this nation. They should encourage the federal government to talk with Black folks on how to officially heal the festering historical wounds of 350-year oppression, not defending the indefensible. Yes you did not enslave anyone but benefited immensely from its legacy even inadvertently. This is not about hate but the hypocrisy in pretense over the obvious.

  • Slavery benefited the kinglets, chieftains & potentates of 18th century Africa. The enslavement of Negroes was a cooperative effort between white & black men.

  • so ur saying that the 10-12 million blacks sold into slavery between 15th and 19th century (not even counting the ones that died on the way) were a part of a trade between african kingdoms/communities and white oppurtunists/traders I doubt that

  • Wow, If you listen to many of th black intellectuals whites hate, the dirty truth tends to hit you in the face.

  • well richardthripp - they say alcohol sets truth free that would ordinarily stay locked up. This is what he thinks and drunk or not, Dick Gregory speaks the truth in his own way.

    America, all dressed up in it's fine silk gown is beautiful but underneath she's as dirty as a pig wallowing in its stye.

  • Dr. Pepper?

    nah

    i prefer Mr. Pibb

  • he speaks the truth

  • Thank you for posting this. Thank you for sharing his words. He has always been larger than life. I was a kid when he came to the NW to speak on NDN rights. Amazing man.

  • whatever,get off your high horse.

  • shut the fuck up

  • U should have used that same class in describing MY BROTHER DICK GREGORY FOOL !!!!!!

  • That was the same excuse ur mother gave for not aborting u. She was drunk.

  • SOPHOCLES !

  • CLASSIC

  • Dick Gregory is a legend.

  • If you didn't say black, I would have thought you were talking about Rush Limbaugh...

  • he need to brand this stand up/satire/truthiness.. he is our maher(no comparsion-im cringing). we need to reprogram &become enlightened...All People!! Black Women Stand Up!!!!

  • Yeah i just cringed too.

  • as social commentary, no complaint. As far as further benefit, its just something to get people all excited then produce nothing. Its pointless to argue really about it. But honestly unless someone seriously starts ACTING and CALLIN to action, this is all bullshit.

    PS- Rap/Hip-Hop is a joke. Ol school all the way. N i am not grouping gangsta rap. Besdies the early/mid 80s and some 90s about enlightening the mind, the ENTIRE rest is business and bullshit. 4 real

  • boutbusiness...apparently the speeches are still needed. i think you need to evolve your derailed train of thought. hip-hop is another form of speech. it's just social commentary, that's all.

  • He off the chain!! (free man)

  • thank you black woman. you are beautiful

  • gyeah gyeah gyeah... Thank you

  • Dick Gregory, thanks for voicing the plight of the black woman in white America!

  • Such BS. Makes me ashamed to be black.

  • Sportigal,you need to be ashame of making that comment, dumby! Don't u understand what he's saying? U must not be black!

  • I hope you realize the truth and love that he speaks about...before its to late

  • Its people like you that validate everything he's saying. You'll never know whats like be in the shoes of injustice, so you should make this the last time you speak on it.

  • Hate and the rhetoric of hate. Keeps him in suits and vitamins. Fools buy this every day like its mothers' milk.

  • same dribble that doesn't solve anything. we need solutions.

  • Dick Gregory is an old man the talk is meant to inspire solutions not to be a solution.

  • Barack Obama for president, and Dick Gergory for vice president. lol

  • hey they got my vote
