"He was a brilliant and incredibly courageous performer," recalled humorist Paul Krassner, whose magazine "The Realist" once published an essay by the comedian commenting on the disproportionate number of black soldiers that seemed to be fighting the Vietnam War. Pryor headlined it, "Uncle Sam Wants You, Nigger." [emphasis added]

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.

Right you are, Pryor never reached his full potential because he was stuck with being a n________er. He never left the plantation. If he had, he would have been a truly unsurpassably great artist.

But he was more than good enough for me as an entertainer.
I just liked him a lot.
