Who is he?

He reminds me of Dick Gregory. How tame things were then in entertainment, but it started what has come to be an important part of culture. And the argument continues, because of a few bad words. I'm one who believes it is all right to say "nigger" as long as am talking about Gregory's book.
I have two quotes of his: To a group of college kids, "remember if you see a wonderful person of the opposite sex, you're not going to start the conversation by asking about the grade point average."
And then in person in a Lutheran church in Chicago with a mixed audience (after his vigorous dieting): "If I'm in an airplane and a beautiful hostess comes down the aisle with a tray, I'm going to look at the steak."

"A lot of people say, 'I never knew my dad,'" he said. But, he added: "You knew the myth, you knew your mother's hatred, you knew your anger, you knew your dad was a loser. Trust me, you knew your dad.
