richard pryor challenged us to rethink ourselves in relation to our individual and collective worlds. he's so raw and unique, i don't think he even knew he was challenging us. he took responsibility for it nonetheless.

sure, he was no mother theresa (insert mothafucka joke here)...but he was a legend even while he was still alive.

my heart goes out to richard pryor.

for me, he sums up the american dream.

nygizak,
So true for myself also! In 7th grade, late 70's, I grew up in a conservative family and had to listen to my Richard Pryor albums (kept hiding under bed) in the closet with my headphones on...I would laugh into a pillow to keep quiet! :lol: Geez I am glad I learned to laugh outside the closet!! :lol:
