what other black performer has had the right to openly speak his mind on television?

Even Dave Chappelle stays a tad bit apolitical... racial, sure... all day... but a bit apolitical...

the Richard Pryor show? yes... okay sure... be even he was marked heavy for censorship...

and while Macgruder is... his eight episodes have tackled more issues than probably all four seasons (two for each Rich and Dave) combined...
perhaps it's the relevance of now (cause Rich did tackle certain items... slavery, Idi Amin, alchoholism, multicultural givings, and so on... way more than Dave)

PURE GENIUS.

It really is... from the storylines to the artwork...
money the Blind Nigga Samurai?!??!?! That alone is genius. Hell the Wu Segment in the woods is the ill... by itself.
