No one ever said Pryor was a role model, nor did he claim to be.
But he sure was funny.
Stir Crazy still comes to mind...
Pryor was HYSTERICAL.
Why would ANYONE use a Comedian as a role-model?
This role model BS is just more liberal racism. When a black is sucessful, and doesn't 'know his place' then they're all over him for not being a 'role model'. I've seen this far too often. Liberals have pre-conceived, stereotypical ideas about how black people should behave - when they stray from this 'plantation', the Libs subject them to a literal whipping.
The Liberals of the day defended Lenny Bruce BECAUSE of his profanity. He was white, of course...
"No one ever said Pryor was a role model, nor did he claim to be.

That is the bottom line. I liked Mr Pryor and I dont ever recall him shooting his mouth of regarding politics.
That was one man's opinion, and a minority one at that. You can see as much on BET comedy as Prior ever did. Red Foxx and Moms Mabley were just as naughty for their time.
