He was funny, but nothing more than a fouled-mouthed comedian. Like Ali, his death will make him the greatest entertainer ever.
"Vulgar" stopped being funny after I turned 40.
Poor man. He had a tough life. May he rest in peace.
Foul mouth but seriously funny; he had to be one of the first people I ever heard say the ni--er word.
Sad thing...He was very funny without the vulgarity...He apparently couldn't figure that out...He lost me as a fan...
This was (and is) a lie perpetuated by racial racketeers like Pryor and libs who wanted to use hate and anger as a political tool or as a means to make a buck.
John Perazzo wrote in FrontPage magazine about this lie: "...whites comprised 88.4 percent of those who served in Vietnam, 86.3 percent of those who died there, and 86.8 percent of those killed in actual battle (as distinguished from those who died from accidents or illness). Blacks... comprised 10.6 percent of those who served in Vietnam, 12.5 percent of those who died, and 12.1 percent of those killed in actual battle. ...13.5 percent of our country’s military-age males during the war years were black meaning that there is no basis upon which to claim that a racist American government was indiscriminately rounding up large numbers of black men to be used as cannon fodder in the jungles of Southeast Asia. The National Archives and Records Administration, the Vietnam Helicopter Crew Members Association, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) confirm these statistics."
So what is Pryor's legacy? He promoted lies of the left to do no more than gain political power for Dem libs and make blacks a permanent component of the liberal plantation.
I hope he rests in peace, but his legacy, one based at least in part on a substantial political lie, is pretty pathetic.
Pryor was basically a raunchier version of Bill Cosby. But both were master storytellers.
He was a funny guy.
Why can someone just be liked for who they are nothing more.
