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

give it a rest, people. just because he's dead doesn't make him a good person.

No one mentioned his importance to the healthy eating vegetarianism movement. His book convinced me to try the experiment of going meat-free, which I did for 5 years, along with many of the other health food approaches. It was just a stage I went through.

Also saw him on the bill with Mile Royko in Chicago one night. He was really really funny.

When he was running for President, they had those Dick Gregory dollar bills. They worked in the change machine at the laundromat.

In my opinion, the Rap culture and the embracing of an outlaw culture has had a far worse effect on Black Communities than Manganese or Fluoride in the water. All this has been made worse by the tolerance most of America has developed for these destructive influences.

Now you have black students going to college, thinking that they can tell the college president what to teach. The worst part is when they are allowed to get away with it, vs learning to focus on more constructive and egalitarian methods of education. Many of todays black students won’t be content until they have gone full circle, demanding and getting ‘separate but equal’ schools to attend. They seem to desire racial segregation and the ‘ignorant bliss’ of safe rooms.

Dick Gregory used to be funny, but once he became vegetarian, all his other beliefs changed along with it.
He became like a black Michael Moore. Lost his sense of humor about life.

Have you also noticed the crisscross patterns Contrails over the southern states? No one is supposed to be discussing it anymore. There are a whole bunch of disturbing things the EPA doesn’t want you to know about!///

I was a teen in the 80s and remember him specifically for being some kind of nutrition guru for obese people. The one guy he was trying to help weighed over 1200 pounds and hadn't left his house for almost 20 years.

Ah, so this kook won’t be spewing any more of his stuff.

Good.

All ya have to do is look at the stuff he said at SotBU that inspired Prince to see he was on a level with Calypso Louie.

For example, you White Folk been dumping stuff in his neighborhood in Chemtrails (well that was mostly Prince’s delivery method by the gubmint) and, of course, Colt. 45 Malt Liquor.

You might think I’m joking but I’m not. I’ve seen the video.

If Obama was still president, we would be in for 30 days of official national mourning.

Here ya go, folks - here’s Dick praising Obama and Michelle, alongside the legendary Cornell West.

Be sure to take notes on Colt. 45, Manganese, a little Australian town (unnamed) and sleeping pills put in water.

Dick Gregory was one of a handful of celebrities I got to review over 25 years as a reporter on small dailies and weeklies.

Personable guy with some crazy ideas.

My mother said, “If you can’t say anything good about someone, don’t say anything at all”.

Back when he tried to help that fat guy I had respect for him.

Then I saw the thing above by accident from some Prince reference during the Prince exit.

The man in that video is either insane, or very smart to be paid to feed this BS to insane audience members.
