"No one ever said Pryor was a role model, nor did he claim to be.
But he sure was funny."
That is the bottom line. I liked Mr Pryor and I dont ever recall him shooting his mouth of regarding politics.
Oh, he was political -- any comedian who weighs in on race relations is, by definition. What he wasn't is partisan. And he didn't think that being a celebrity made him an expert on foreign relations, budget policy or anything else. He spoke from personal experience.
