    Thanks for posting these! Real wisdom like this is rare. Brother Greg says so much with so few words - and all the while he's funny. I'm looking forward to more of the interview...

    I feel you bro our pain is deep they will never understand and i feel like that a lot to be honest I have lived the true american nightmare (Canadian born, lived in Cali, DC, NY, VA, FL and OA (Portland to be exact) but I was scarred so wherever i went trouble found me. Fucked up childhood became a blood as a teen even started using the own smack i was dealing. But i'm 24 and managed to turn my life around as an author and revolutionary for my queen, prince and people its never too late

      Thomas Sowell is to me since he is still alive and Fredrick Douglas. After Thomas Sowell is dead then people will appreciate him.

    You brought sense to this movement when there was chaos in the minds of both blacks and whites. A sort of filtering out the public's view to take about the movement. A sort of mirror of what was in the black man's mind to bring him to this protest in the first place. What did the black man really desire to get from this movement in the first place? Financial gain? More and better housing? To be respected and afforded the same opportunity as their white co-horts? Was the color of a person's skin the only basis for discrimination here, or was there something deeper than that? Oh, a lot more to it than that, my dear Dick.

    you see they tried to make DAVE CHAPELL look crazy.and aparently he was not funny enough because they wanted him to put on a dress...

    Dick, I don't know entirely the story you are trying to convey about the Choo Choo song. Does the word, "boy" take on a racial connotation like it did before? Like black boys, and not men? And, never would a white man sit and talk to a black man and be seen doing so unless of course he was getting a shoe shine?

    It takes a while for me to connect the dots to why he is being interviewed, but I guess being his age it's just institutional speech from a living institution!
    Frustrating when your mind demands connectivity...

    Im a white dude. I dont agree with a lot of what this man says. But, this man was a MAN and he was not afraid to say what he thought.
    And of course I dont “agree” with everything he says, I didnt live his life. I didn’t experience what he did. It was a totally different world when he was a young man.
    He is a real human and man. RIP Mr Gregory

    I am not white but I think this man concentrates on some negative and needs to use his knowledge and wisdom to help us move foward....he's got issues that some of us have passed and want to make a new life in victory.

    TIMES HAVE CHANGED !!!
    BUT YOU PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO COME TO TERMS WITH THAT !
    BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO ABANDON YOUR VICTIM MENTALITIES
    AND START TAKING RESPONSIBILITIES FOR YOUR OWN TROUBLES AND SITUATIONS.
    JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.

      BLACK Americans aren’t a monolith sweetie. You people are the victims, descendants of persons whose violence came naturally. Times have changed, counties and people that survived are increasing in numbers abandon your quest for superiority. Be humble and try reconciliation with the people who survived your injustice. Try getting along with others instead of telling them what to do
