They choke n*ggers to death.

I mean, you be dead

when they through, right,

...did you know that?

- Yeah.

The n*gger's

are going, yeah, we know.

The whites are going,

no, I had no idea.

Yeah, two grab your legs,

one grab your head, and snap.

Oh, sh*t, he broke.

Can you break a n*gger,

is it okay?

Let's check the manual

Yup, page 8,

You can break a n*gger,

right there, see.

Let's drag him downtown, okay.

And they got them dogs

they sic on your ass, right,

The German shepherds

and sh*t.

Nasty mother f***ers, right.

Some places

they got them Dobermans,

Doberman pinschers.

Them some bad mother f***ers.

They fast, too.

They catch the average

white boy.

By the time they catch

a n*gger, though,

They too tired

To do anything

but maybe get petted

Or some sh*t like that.

You trying to run him over.

Sit your ass right there, now.

I'm going to get on you.

All right.

I saw them let one loose

on a young brother about 16

In an alley.

The police jumped out of the car

And sacked the Doberman

loose on him,

The brother was low running.

I mean, he was down in here.

And the dog was on his ass,

And it must have got good

to the brother,

Cause he shifted into overdrive

on the dog.

Yeah, the brother had a cap on,

it just went.

And it looked like to me

like the dog said,

Sh*t,

Mother f*** that n*gger, man.

Sh*t, he won't kill me

out here, sh*t.

Give me a biscuit here.

The dogs are something else.

I got two dogs,

I got two malamutes

That I trained to fight

the police dogs.

I did.

I said, if you see

any dog jump on me,

You all better do something.

Cause if you don't,

You know what happened

to that car on new year.

We got you, rich,

we got you, we got you.

Don't worry.

And they won't bite sh*t, right.

I mean, they very

intelligent dogs, though, right.

I mean, they be reading

dog food cans and sh*t.

They do.

Alpo, no meat byproducts,

no soybeans.

Yeah, rich, this will be good,

fix that up for us, please.

Could we have a little wine

with that, perhaps.

And a burglar come in the house,

Say don't f***

with the dinner plates.

You can have all

this sh*t up here.

So I got a, a Doberman, right.

One of them

bad mother f***ers, right.

Somebody stole him.

That's how bad he was.

And I got him from

a dog home, you know,

You can get dogs

from the dog home,

Save them from killing them,

you know.

I got him from the dog home,

And somebody had abused him

real bad,

Cause every time I called him,

he'd freak out.

I'd say, hey, champ.

What, sh*t, Jesus Christ,

What are you doing to me,

Don't do that sh*t,

Im telling you,

You're f***ing

with my head, man.

It's a real bummer, rich,

Richard Pryor

Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor (December 1, 1940 – December 10, 2005) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and social critic. Pryor was known for uncompromising examinations of racism and topical contemporary issues, which employed vulgarities and profanity, as well as racial epithets. He reached a broad audience with his trenchant observations and storytelling style, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential stand-up comedians of all time. Pryor's body of work includes the concert movies and recordings: Richard Pryor: Live & Smokin' (1971), That Nigger's Crazy (1974), ...Is It Something I Said? (1975), Bicentennial Nigger (1976), Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979), Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip (1982), and Richard Pryor: Here and Now (1983). As an actor, he starred mainly in comedies such as Silver Streak (1976), but occasionally in dramas, such as Paul Schrader's Blue Collar (1978), or action films, such as Superman III (1983). He collaborated on many projects with actor Gene Wilder. Another frequent collaborator was actor/comedian/writer Paul Mooney. Pryor won an Emmy Award (1973) and five Grammy Awards (1974, 1975, 1976, 1981, and 1982). In 1974, he also won two American Academy of Humor awards and the Writers Guild of America Award. The first-ever Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor was presented to him in 1998. He was listed at number one on Comedy Central's list of all-time greatest stand-up comedians. In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked him first on its list of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time. more…
