State of the Black Union I came across a clip from this year's event and thought it was worth sharing. Dick Gregory via crooksandliars.com
I watched that live on Saturday while I did the dishes. That was dope as hell. I watched it like 5 times. That's right! That's right! That's right!
And then he threw his hand in the air like "yall don't hear me though". Classic!

Damn. That man has some fire in him, yessuh. That's the kind of outrage we need a lot more of in this country.

Dick Gregory, speaking truth to power, as is rarely done. He's great.

Dick Gregory, speaking truth to [1994] power.
"Power" doesn't always mean whomever happens to be in the White House at the red hot moment. That's too literal an interpretation, in my opinion. In this case, by "power" I was referring to the *attitude of power* that Gregory was attacking.

Smedleyman, yours is a wonderful comment. No black person in the history of the universe has ever used the word "nifty". Ever.

Except for my high school, apparently. I always did say it was its own little universe in there.
