Dick Gregory
What price would God demand from the churches for having the audacity to lighten the color of his son's skin, and straighten out his nappy hair?
Dick Gregory
Because you make me laugh don't make you a comic. A comedian is a person who, that's how they make their living.

I believe young voters will either vote for Obama or not vote at all. So the problem is not Obama the problem is the system. If you think about how mess up this country is most folk really don’t have choices.
Dick Gregory
I go to Chinese Christian community. Jesus looks Chinese. I go to Japanese Christian community. Jesus looks Japanese. I go to Brazilian Christian community. Jesus looks Brazilian. How come in America Jesus looks white?
Dick Gregory
If it wasn't for Abe Lincoln, I'd still be on the open market.
Dick Gregory
In most places in the country, voting is looked upon as a right and a duty, but in Chicago it's a sport.
