Racism on this site

I really wish I knew about this site while Prince was alive. I know someone who worked for Prince and if Prince had known about the blatant racism on here he would've had it shut down. I'm going yo talk to Prince's friend and alert her about this site. You cannot Stan for Prince and be racist. Don't be surprised if this site gets shut down. #Peace

I understand your disgust. However, every open forum, newspaper, TV station, etc. that exists would have to be shut down if we gave in to racists. Racists exist in every corner of society. Hopefully, more people will speak out against racism like you have, but shutting down the site because of small-minded, discriminatory people would be just another victory for the racists.

I agree but you cannot Stan for Prince and be racist. If he had known about this site, believe me, he would've had it shut down. The level of insults these folks have for black women is disturbing. I'm still going to alert his friend about this site. They say you can't say anything offensive but yet these folks get away with offending black women. This site is very hypocritical

He knew about this site as does anyone else related to or working for Prince.
Surprise, surprise.
Another treat. Another trick.

Sure he did. I'm going to alert his friend about the blatant racism on here. You're sullying his name by being racist

That'd be pretty kneejerk of u. No chance of just educating the few. P and his people know about the org and have been in contact with the founders and admin from time to time.
.
There is also a lot of love, support and the warmth here. The majority who post care and love and just want the best for the purple family and for P while he was here.
.
The world is racist and bigoted - the fact that some on here mirror that shouldn't be a surprise. You're only going to change and educate people by discourse. Shutting down would just steel them.
.
I respect your feelings and am sorry for your upset. Big love to you and to the purple family.
