Dick Gregory: Bill Clinton is NOT Black at Hungry Blues

Dick Gregory: Bill Clinton is NOT Black

Great clip from yesterday’s State of the Black Union footage in NOLA (via Baratunde):

If you know some of my other work, you’ll know why I love Gregory’s quote from way back:

“If these Mississippi white Klansmen, who do not know how to plan crimes, who are ignorant, illiterate bastards, can completely baffle our FBI, what are those brilliant Communist spies doing to us?”

I have quite a bit of personal issue with SOBU, because it often feels boiled down to sound-bites and snack-pack rhetoric -- however, there are some (like Dick Gregory), that lay down the truth...and I can respect that.

I saw Dick Gregory in City Council Chambers fighting for the multi million dollar garbage contracts. Contracts that are about as transparent as mud.

2 weeks later when the demolition of Public Housing was on the agenda..not a soul came to speak.

So sad..

Interesting. What do you think he was doing there?

Great blog and photostream. You're doing really important work. Your photo of CJ Peete is utterly depressing.
