Richard Pryor, Chris Rock and Ron Paul

Richard Pryor, Chris Rock and Ron Paul
A conversation between Pryor, Rock and Paul on the issue of racism
Warning: Adult language ahead


Much fuss has been made about a few old Ron Paul newsletters which contain what some perceive to be statements based on racist views of the author. So, to offer an alternative perspective to what you may be reading about the issue, I'd like to present to you a conversation between Richard Pryor, Chris Rock and Ron Paul.


Pryor: "I went to Zimbabwe. I know how white people feel in America now; relaxed! Cause when I heard the police car I knew they weren't coming after me!"


Rock: “Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know? People are nice to ya, they give you the benefit o' the doubt... You drive a flash car down the freeway and the cops'll pull y'over and before they even look they like 'What the fuck are you doing?' and then they see it's you and they like 'Awww man, it's Chris Rock, it's okay, man we thought you was a nigga'.”


Paul: "Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,’ I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
