He himself indentifies as black. he has called himself a "brotha" on more than one occasion. He remade "When will we be paid." He has been featured and interviewed on various black publications, How can anybody still dispute this?

He's as mixed as your everyday black person is. Seriously, Lenny Kravitz's afro wasn't as nappy as Prince's was in the 70's. The hair alone proves his blackness

Black, cause that what society says, right???

This reminds me of one of my favorite books of all time: "Life on the color line: the true story of a white boy who discovered he was black." I read this book again for a class I'm taking this summer. The author came in to speak to the class about the book. A classmate asked: "So what do you think of yourself as? And he replied: "African American." You would never know it by looking at him.

Here's a picture of the author Gregory Williams.

Dangit this is the thread that will not die. Ok we all know that race is a primarily social construct. In a perfect world it wouldn't matter. In the imperfect world it does. Ultimately, he's human.

Now that I've gotten all the PC stuff outta the way, he's black.

Williams' father was passing until he had a string of bad luck (alcoholism, divorce, unemployment). Then he and his sons, Gregory and Mike, moved to Muncie, Indiana where his black relatives lived. However, Gregory and his brother ended up being raised by a black woman who was of no relation to them.
While Williams told us he ID's as African-American, he implied that his brother now lives entirely among whites.

And the kids look 1000% white.

Okay, back to Prince... smile Actually, his ethnicity was never a question in my opinion. But, it seems that he liked to mess with our heads with that "am I black or white?", and casting himself as a tragic mulatto in Purple Rain. Maybe he's seen "Pinky" one times too many? smile

Thank you, Like Joshy said, He is Black move on.. Light skinned (Black) and dark italian (His mom is Italian and uh..something else i think and his dad is black, I have a picture of him and his family but i don't know how to put it on here). Man i am tired of seeing this thread. Come on people.. I forget when but it was during a BET interview when Prince said that he dated dark skinned black woman but all you see is light skinned women, I want to see a picture of that to believe it.

OKAY!! That's what I thought about the dark-skinned woman thing, but I don't believe his mother is part Italian. I believe she's just "high yellow"

People keep saying "dark Italian" as if it's not another way of saying "black"
