therealdickgregory It is with enormous sadness that the Gregory family confirms that their father, comedic legend and civil rights activist Mr. Dick Gregory departed this earth tonight in Washington, DC. The family appreciates the outpouring of support and love and respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time. More details will be released over the next few days - Christian Gregory

My reading is that Dick Gregory did not hate white people.

Why then would he have accepted an invitation from the notorious black racist Louis Farrakhan to speak at his "Millions More Movement" rally?

He was always referred to as a “comedian,” yet I never heard him tell a joke.

Way back in the early 70s I was a college kid who happened to attend the speech Dick Gregory gave at my school. It made such an impression on me I never forgot his message. Because of it, I learned about how much the left can hate, and especially whites. Most of his talk was filled with White Mfers over and over. This was a sick man speaking to nearly an all white audience.

RIP anyway, Dick

Boy this picture gives me hope that 300 isn’t a death sentence! At least not yet...

Lost 100 3 years ago and been back and forth 10 pounds or so ever since.

Oddest thing.

Have to get that mojo back.

Dick Gregory saved my butt once ....it was back in 1969 and I was a young hippy kid walking down a street in San Francisco . Coming down the sidewalk I saw this pack , yes pack, of black kids coming . Instantly I was surrounded and they were all clicking these knives enclosed in some kind of blade cases at me . I will never forget that sound “ click click click” Gimme your wallet whitey “ one said . Um , no choice , I handed over my meager little hippy wallet . They started to go thru it . There was zero money , or anything else of any worth in it but there was this fake $$$ bill ,with Dick Gregory’s picture on it , saying ‘ Dick Gregory for President ‘. The black punks like that ! They said ‘ dis honkie’s alright !” handed me back my wallet and let me go . Standing there stunned and relieved I watched as the pack surrounded the next hippy kid coming down the street and shook him down as they’d shaken me down . Gee, I hope he had a Dick Gregory dollar bill too .... That the second time I was robbed by blacks on the streets of San Francisco in as many months . The first time they got me for 10 bucks , which was every thing I had to my name at the time . Gotta luv um !

THAT kind of attention? Rubbing shoulders with one of the most infamous black racists of our time?

Lust for attention, and willful blindness. I do not believe that Mr. Gregory ever acted out of first principles, but rather on impulse.

Back in the days when colleges and universities purpose was to educate, challenge and encourage thoughtful experience, Dick Gregory came to speak at my school. This was still in the time when freedom of speech was a protected and cherished right.
It was a two day event with George Lincoln Rockwell (head of American Nazi Party)speaking the next day. Gregory ,at the end of his speech said he would stay an extra day, for free, if Rockwell would accept a challenge to a debate on the third night.The challenge was accepted and the speaking venue was jammed with students waiting to see what would happen. Well Gregory made Rockwell look pathetic. Gregory was funny, bright, witty and fast thinking. Rockwell was had none of those attributes and you could see how evil Rockwell and his minions were , parading in their Nazi uniforms.This was almost 50 years ago and I still remember those three days.
It is sad to think that my grandchildren will probably never experience this freedom of thought and speech as these great institutions of higher education no longer respect, encourage or protect them.

Are you sure it wasn't the People's Front for the Liberation of Judea? No, you fool, it was the People's Judean Liberation Front. / Monte Python, in case that wasn't clear.

In other words, you think he was too dumb to understand what Farrakhan is about?

In 2008, Gregory stated he believed that air pollution and intentional water contamination with heavy metals such as lead and possibly manganese may be being used against black Americans, especially in urban neighborhoods, and that such factors could be contributing to high levels of violence in black communities.””

They must be doing the same thing in Africa,

That is a story he wrote on the back cover of the paperback edition of his book: Nigger.

He dedicated the book to his Grandmother so that the next time she heard that word she should know they were just promoting his book.
