He was full of conspiracy theories , a funny man, and a life long activist for what is right.

I only know him from his weight loss campaign in the 80's.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I attended a lecture by Gregory in the early '80's. The serial murders of young black men / boys in Atlanta were yet unsolved. Wayne Williams was eventually found guilty of the murders. Gregory was spreading the "fake news" that the CDC was responsible for the killings. They needed the foreskins of young black men for medical research. Other than that whopper I found his lecture to be amusing and reasonable.

foreskins ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yes! He said that! I believe it was related to developing  a specific form of interferon.

I may have taken a bit of LSD back in the 70's but I am not making this shit up!
