    Hold up. Full stop. Stop everything you are doing. Everything. And read this interview with Quincy Jones. It's the craziest, juiciest, tell-all interview I've ever read. It's so crazy (in a good way) I thought it was a spoof.http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/quincy-jones-in-conversation.html …

        Have listened to Richard Pryor my whole life. Most of what I learned about storytelling and public speaking I got from listening to his tapes & watching his concerts as a kid. I'd never seen this. At 14:50, Richard openly talks about being bi-sexual. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2e34yv

        Can't speak for Ireland. Never been there. England & France has racism. England isn't blantant, but talk to black people. They'll tell you how it is..

        Went to see a film about Malcolm X. There were only 3 whites in the room. The anger in that room about racism was serious stuff. As an American, I had no idea they had that issue in England..

        For sure there's racism here and in the UK/France. I think it's particularly bad in the US at the moment. I was more surprised Bono would feel the need to almost hide him in one of his castles because of it though.

        It wouldn't surprise me. The stories I've heard from black people & the way they're treated in England isn't so pretty. I wouldn't be surprised if there were issues.

        Lol. That's why I said in this conversation, "Ask black people". I did. And I got my answer. I would never presume to know except through what I have been told by black people in England and race riots in France. So... What's your issue with me?

        Then second best is: “It’s Trump and uneducated rednecks. Trump is just telling them what they want to hear. I used to hang out with him. He’s a crazy motherfucker. Limited mentally — a megalomaniac, narcissistic. I can’t stand him.”
