*sigh* I know he was sick for a long time, but that doesn't mean it's less of a shock.

I feel bad for not knowing who he was.....
R.I.P

Damn it!

<Azar> Richard Pryor died?
<Azar> Damn.
:(

Im sorry for this dumb question but....Who was Richard Prior :( ?
I also feel bad for not knowing who he was :(

Richard Pryor was one of the first Black comedians to really dangle on the lines of racism in his jokes, he is also considered by most as one of the best comedians of all time. It's really sad that he's gone.

Well that sucks.

I was under the impression that he'd already died quite some time ago.

Still. A man has died, and that is always a tragedy.

man he was a funny mother smurfer. too bad we can't write any of his jokes in here. that sucks a lot.

Though I value life, I don't see why his life should be respected any more than the life of anybody else. He was racist, and only worked against his own "cause" of stopping the "oppression" of the black people. Some of his comedy was good, some was decent, some was just in bad taste.

He's no Bill Cosby.

I said the same thing when everyone was going all bat for Ronald Reagan's death.

Richard Pryor was indeed a funny mothersmurfer. But yeah, he was sick for a long time. I guess I'm glad that he's free from that now.

He was funny. I liked him. RIP Mr. Pryor. You will be missed. :(

I am saddened and dismayed.

That's sad :( R.I.P.
