[lorimneal]

[LaiskaKettu]

[wilox1]

@dontleademsomuch

???

What's that supposed to mean? You can't talk about and appreciate Pryor unless your American??

Fuck off

[PupuTheClown]

don't you just love how the british negore tries to act and laugh like an American negroe ?

[360reason]

I remember watching another documentary about Richard and Lily in that sketch and some of the people who were behind the scenes didn't want them to kiss or something.,,interracial love...too radical for TV back then yaknow?

[BLACKFONZIRELLI]

richard is an ass smh

[matthewmercury1]

What the fuck does this Scottish dude know about it?

[jodytheboy]

that scottish dude is one of britains bestknown comediams.... sorta makes him qualified to speak on the subject really, why, is he not black or american enought for ur liking?

[rmac1128]

@jodytheboy and even beyond that it's all about context. the context called for it.

[wilox1]

@matthewmercury1

He's one of the best stand ups in the world you dumb motherfucker

[wilox1]

@matthewmercury1

Argument? What's there to argue about? And what does haggis have to do with anything??

[ilikemyprivacy]

Usually hollywood makes minority actors do drag to complete their hazing process and be successful...Henry actually likes dressing like a woman. No hazing process required. He cannot hold a candle to RP.

[townsend316]

@dvhlarson Not fair bro, to harsh WAY! TO HARSH!

[lickstickly]

@dvhlarson wow taking a shot at Lenny Henry that has'nt been done before!!, Len may not be the funniest bloke but he's a good funny bloke and unless your Bob Geldof mate would suggest you dont attack someone who has saved millions of lives in Africa with Comic Relief

[willmymon]

@dvhlarson did u not see the start of the dam program? 1st thing they have in comen just in case u missed it.. was as a young man henry came across hearing richard as a young man.. litle things light a spark in some people . when u feel that same passion phone a friend

[theactordavidbath]

He seems real to me, whereas you really do sound like a cunt. What have you achieved in life compared to Lenny Henry? Apart from sounding like a stuck up prick, which he never does.

[AnJL45]

i'd punch u out! LMFAO

[dothack200]

nigger

[7714girl]

OH YOU HAVE THE REST!!! YESSS!!!

[jitterbug121]

Dick Gregory is a very intelligent man and he was trying to make a point about the word and how offensive it is. Richard Pryor was a Genuis comically. He will always be # 1 to millions of people.

[KISHISHEV]

legend

[hillzymusicTV]

6:30 that guy(afro) looks 100% like eddie griffin

but it`s not him cos he was 8y.o

[Archigearour]

Absolutely true on the fact that Richard Pryor never used profanity as a punchline.

[djmadfingaz]

this is my comment

[JMAZARA3883]

nigga please

[jakehr3]

this is better audio than the videos Ish0tJR gave us, no offense.

[Ish0tJR]

Thats because those were VHS caps, these were capped live on a sky box.

[Ariamaluum]

Dinah Shore had to stop her show on NBC when it was discovered that she had black ancestry.

[colossusrising]

for real?? damn

[scottyvjs]

LOL...that's shit's funny!! Is it true?! Naw, can't be, but it's still funny...lol

[twelveinchsoft]

thanks for uploading this doc. one of the few i hadnt seen yet.

[royalsteven]

I just don't like how the word has been accepted now. Even whites call each other nigga. I still think there's a difference between the racist word 'nigger' and the word 'nigga' that has a more of a homey kind of meaning. And he's right that blacks only could say it but at the same time they shouldn't cause they be degrading themselfs if they do.

[willmoss]

you know what i hate?

how young black people act as if they felt the oppression from the word as if they were around during all the civil rights movements, you guys only know how to use the word because of songs and movies...the word has no substance anymore..get over it.. 1st amendment says i can NIGGER as many times as i want..i choose not to cuz im not a fuckin dumb piece of shit and theres more to my vocabulary..grow up..

[JPW3]

Move on. Has nothing to do with Richard Pryor.

[enemoj]

!!!!!!!!!!

[retonzah]

@ willmoss You dont know what the hell you are talking about. Young young black people today did not have to be around during the civil rights movements, its not about the civil rights movement. Its about ongoing ignorance from white people passed down from your slave owning great great grand parents, to your klu klux klan great grand parents, to your jim crow ass grand parents to your racist parents to their ignorant kids...

[Haz86]

Healer2K - Words themselves can NEVER EVER be destructive. Words are merely tools to help communicate our thoughts. If the thought behind the word is racist, then the word becomes racist. If the thought behind the word is normal (i.e. "what's up nigger?") the word becomes normal. End of argument.

[Healer2K]

What many people [including some in this segment] seem to lose sight of is that Pryor eventually woke up and realized the foolishness and destructiveness of the use of that word.

[s20189]

good point. hey out of interest, do you think thats why dave chappelle went to africa - and left his show randomly?

[njwilco87]

BBC are so predictable, let's automatically hire a black comedian to cover pryor. henry is th least funny comic around
