So many ways that this is wrong. Dick uses any form of something to further his other beliefs. Prince dieing is another tool he can use, he also quotes magazines like the Enquirer to make these accusations, talking about how "they" say he had AIDS. I have not heard one person in real media talk about AIDS and PRINCE this is all internet talk and rag magazine talk which is pretty much where Dick latches on too. There is talk of the Illumanti killing Prince, along with Bowie and Robin Williams and all that nonsense takes the eyes of things that actually kill people. Someone posted that Video on my new feed on FB and I made sure that shit got removed. I am in a time of reflecting on Prince's life along with alot of his fans and friends, I don't need Dick Gregory and his rants about people he didnt know or care about to further his agenda.

Also if Dick is such a visionary why is not out there warning people, instead of responding after the fact.

Sad to see and old warrior slip into dementia. Everything seems to be jumbled together in his mind now.

I'm not ready to watch Dick Gregory on the subject of Prince just yet.

Lock this thread. This is disrespectful as fuck. He went to Walgreens Dick? He doesn't hang with celebrities? bs as well. My man is getting old. Hate to see the downfall of another legend.

He thinks Prince was murdered when his plane landed in Moline. The plane was (allegeldy) owned by Warren Buffet*. Apparently that means something.

He also said that Warner Bros (or whoever) was angry at him, and planned to kill him since he walked around with 'slave' on his face. And that they won't kill you right away, but they will eventually get you. So in 2016, he thinks Warner Bros caught up to Prince, and killed him over something from 20+ years prior.

Ignorantly, he also questioned why Prince was riding a bike around Paislely Park, and no one was gathering around him. He's a local dude, so why would folks just flock to him 24/7? He'd get back inside before anyone could break down a gate or something trying to get to him. But that was suspect to ol' Dick as well.

He really has kind of lost his marbles at this point. Just because you say something outrageous doesn't mean it's probably true because "no one else is saying this!". Yes, no one else is because it's ridiculously untrue. I've never really seen him offer up evidence on some things he's said. Did "they" purposely break the dykes in New Orleans so the city flooded? He thinks "they" did. Did "they" kill Prince for writing slave on his face? He thinks "they" did.

Seinfield voice: Who are these people?

Lastly, Dick has the power to change color. He noted that the Queen, on her 90th birthday, was in a "pink dress... purple". Yes, and? I mean - stop already.

I watched a few minutes of him and he comes off as someone WAY over the edge, there are people who have opinions and are at least coming from a sane place, DICK has lost his mind, between just wrong statements here like "they killed him on the plane" to the warner brothers statement? no sense at all and trust me there are ALOT of people that buy into this nonsense, usually it is the Illumanti believers that hook right on to it, which is usually based in religion etc...just bad timing for him to do this and someone to actually go interview this nut ball.

Lord have mercy! If "they" killed Prince as he said, then why wouldn't "they" kill him since he's the one talking all the crap about them, why would he still be living?

The song 'Dreamer' was a tribute to what Dick Gregory spoke about at the State of the Black Union of 2004. I believe Dick Gregory was an inspiration for that song. Prince mentioned in the Tavis Smiley interview, that he may owe Dick Gregory for some credit for the inspiration behind that song, because a portion of Prince's lyrics in 'Dreamer', reflected what Dick Gregory said at that SOBU in 2004. The part in the song about "..holding the steering wheel so tight"bt. Tavis, had mentioned a while back, at the beginning of one of the SOBU conferences, the year Prince performed a show after the event for the attendees, that for years Prince has always had an interest in the SOBU conferences, and he said Prince would call him after the conferences, and they would be on the phone for hours discussing the issues spoken at the conference that day.

So Prince was hooked on that Dick Gregory (not surprised).

Doesn't mean that Dick Gregory doesn't have ..issues.

I think Dick Gregory is nuts!

Dick is aptly named.

Has anyone seen the recent Dick Gregory video? Prince believed in Dick Gregory, he talked about him to Tavis Smiley, mentioning when Dick was on a show in 2008 (state of black union, is it?) & he encouraged other people to watch it. I watched a recent video withh Dick in it last night, and I'm not able to say to myself he's 100% correct because, well I don't think I could ever say that without proof. But there's something about the way Dick says what he says. I feel a bit concerned to even say it, but I believe him. 😟

First of all, all thanks to the mods for allowing THIS thread to exist for the time being.

Second of all, I strongly agree with Dick Gregory on almost everything he said. I will not say anything else because I do not want to see your thread get locked because of anything that I said.

Dick Gregory has always spoken truth against power...anyone who knows this man's history, knows he is not one to engage in folly and tomfoolery...

Dick said the plane was owned by Warren Buffet.

He said "Warren Buffet". My God, this is one of the stupidest things I've seen.

I don't know how I feel about Dick, but I do think Prince's mind was more "free" than most of the enslaved masses, which is why he was able to channel all of that amazing music in the first place. Everything he ever did was in the name of universal and unconditional power of love. Maybe I do think "they" killed him. TMZ, our "most informed" news outlet is owned by Time Warner. I am TERRIFED of the power they have. There is just a lot here, and none of it is new information, just the same story of genius, free minds leaving us, and us not knowing why.
