Dick Gregory's NAACP Speech

[FoolKiller]

Have you all heard about this?

Here's an article on it.

And a snippet of what he said:

Gregory also pointed to pollution as a source of difficulties for blacks.

"The FBI has documents on the relationship between lead exposure and homicide," he said, but "nobody knows about it," he asserted.

Citing an FBI file by Roger Masters of Dartmouth College -- whose study found that criminal activity is higher in areas with high lead and manganese pollution -- Gregory charged that "polluted water can cause brain damage that turns ordinary people into violent criminals."

He alleged that the racist system exploits this issue. "They convince you that I'm just a heathen and I murder just 'cause I want to murder," but "I murder because something's in my food, something's in my water," Gregory said.

"Malt liquor is made by white beer companies but only sold in black neighborhoods, and you don't get suspicious?" he asked. "They put a thing in it called manganese, and once you get so much manganese in you, you will kill your momma, but they've got you believing that's normal for you to act that way."

This man is off his gourd. White people are poisoning blacks to be more violent?

I don't know if he is truly insane and believes this or if he is just trying to get people worked up.

A conspiracy theorist about racism... interesting. Obvously crazy though.

People look for a way to excuse their bad behavior in any way possible, and this is just one more to add to the list. First it's because the "man" is purposely holding them down, then it is because the republican party hates black people (more on that in a minute), and now its because white people "make" them stupid. One more excuse to cover up one more murder, grand theft auto, or petty theft in the "hood."

On the republican party: Do you not find it strange that the party that freed the slaves and pushed civil rights through congress is the most hated thing by most black people? Does that even remotely make sense? Do they even realise that it is what actually happened?

Have we all seen "The Boondocks" on Adult Swim? The best episode was on last night, the Martin Luther King Jr. episode where he didn't die, and what happened because of it. The whole show shows a lot of what is wrong with not only African Americans, but white people in particular as well. I enjoy the show, not only for it's tounge-in-cheek humor, but also because of it's view of the American political landscape.
