SOBU: Dick Gregory Goes Off On Bill Clinton And Malt Liquor
24 Feb 2008 Author: Jack Turnercross-posted to goodCRIMETHINK
A definite highlight of the State of the Black Union was the presence of one of my heroes, Dick Gregory, throwing in much real talk. In this clip, he destroys the idea of Bill Clinton as the first black president.
He also goes after the alleged pathology of black folk (such as being lazy) by reminding us of the assault that many black people and neighborhoods endure on a regular basis. The best line of the entire event has got to be
“What are you puttin in my malt liquor, white boy?!”
