"That Nigger WAS Crazy!"
There is no need for political correctness, racial sensitivity, or a need to not offend; his comedy did none of that.
What he did was make us take a look at all those things in a raw, vibrant manner, that was funny, bittersweet, and truly original.
Many a "hack" comic these days is a mere shadow of what Richard Pryor started.
But when a comic truly shines under the lights, that comic owes in part of his success to the atmosphere and attitude that Richard Pryor brought to the comic industry.
Good Night, Rich.
