Dick Gregory says Occupy Wall Street has whiff of 1960s Photo 1:40pm EDT
By Ian Simpson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Veteran comic and activist Dick Gregory said the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations were reminiscent of the 1960s civil rights movement and police violence could catapult it into a mass protest.
Gregory, 78, said political leaders faced the danger of underestimating the strength of the anti-corporate protests that have brought out thousands of demonstrators in cities across the United States.
"Listening to this is like listening to the early days of the civil rights movement. What's going to really tip it off, is a cop is going to make a mistake," Gregory, one of the first crossover black comedians, told Reuters late on Sunday before a sold-out show at the Riot Act comedy club.
"The difference between this movement and our movement is that white people -- rich, poor, educated -- are born with 300 years of white privilege," he said.
"So there are certain things that you don't do to me when you're born with privileges. When it was us, the cops could do anything they wanted to. You can't do these children like this."

If they’re crapping in the streets it’s more than a whiff.
He’s right. I can smell them all the way out here in Arizona.
Yup, agree, However, methinks he’s thinking the whiff of drugs, and I”m thinking the whiff of OBamastuff.
Def: Obamastuff - that brown, sticky, gooey concoction that comes out of your Obamahole.
Did the American Families Party (The Org Formerly Known As ACORN) pay $350-$650 a week for rent-a-mob protesters in the 60’s, too?
I think what he really meant was:
Occupy Wall Street whiffs at the 1960s
Why yes, that does smell 1960sish.
I think he meant a “stench” of the 60s, the absolutely worst time in human histoy. At least, my human history.
Still pounding that drum, Gregory?
But honest to goodness , what a shocker to hear you're not dead! Congratulations, at least youve exceeded expectations somewhere.
Whiff, snort, yes, that is gregory,
Yep, Woodstock Fest/concert. As Cartman says :”I hate hippies, they are like bugs”
Somebody give Dick a sandwich.
This fool was in a Black CHURCH here about 2 weeks ago and was comparing the size of his privates to those of White men...in a church!
It's got a "whiff" alright...
I predict that the street rabble of 2011 will do for Obama what the street rabble of 1972 did for McGovern.
1972 election results:
Nixon: 572 electoral Votes (won 49 states)
McGovern: 17 electoral votes (won 1 state and D.C.)
I was there in the 60’s - none of us were paid .. Here’s an ad running on Craig’s list - YOU can make up to $650 a week for ‘protesting’. That’s NOT how it was done in the 60’s - when it was real...
