People never believe me when I tell them that Prince is a black guy (in the sense that his mom wasnt 100% white). That half Italian thing was just some publicity BS cooked up (and the actress who played the Kids mom in Purple Rain), like shaving 2 yrs off his age. Ofcourse he do look the part and it really doesn't matter.

he looks nothing like them-just his mom's eyes. is his mother/father short like him?

heybaby said:

He actually looks a lot like his father to me. Just a lighter complexion.

after closely your right.

kdj997 said:

THANK YOU. This is one of the BIGGEST misconceptions about Prince. He's a Black (African-American) man. But what does it say about the folks behind the film (Purple Rain) and the pop culture audience that they had to market him like that???

Thanks,
Five

And seems to me he has gotten more "intouch" with his "blackness" lately.
It's funny how a little reality can slap the truth back into someone isnt it.....

Prince started those false rumors himself.....

Funny that you say this. I took a friend of mine to see Prince in Houston, and she mentioned that she noticed that he seemed more into his "blackness," lately (she said she even noticed it before the concert), and she is just a very, very casual fan. She seemed to be quite pleased about it. I have actually talked to a good amount of people who have noticed this as well-all African-Americans. Whether its right or wrong, I think he's winning some AA fans back partly because of this. Anyone else notice this?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Prince's exact racial/ethnic breakdown? His dad looks 100% black to me, but his mom doesn't

jacktheimprovident said:

he's human... enough of the what race is prince crap.. pahleeeeeze

Redayh said:

Prince has completely embraced his black roots again and I am absolutely thrilled about his new direction and approach as are all lot of his old fans. I have quite a few friends say he has finally come back to us....

lovemachine said:

Prince's mom was a beautiful yella-bone from Louisiana

Redayh said:

yes I have noticed... not only in the way he is wearing his hair and clothes (straight out of the 70's pimp daddy) but also his music. Or I should say the music he is promoting.
If I was the man sounds rock and Marrying kind also very rock. I have a feeling we won't see singles of either one of these. ( I really like both of them)
I would have to say Dear Mr. Man would be the next single preferably before the November elections.

Looks a little like my Aunt Doreetha. Same coloring, similiar facial features, heck even the same hair style.

prince's mom looks a little native american 2me, His sister 2.

Does anyone know why Prince's mom told him to be a JW even if she wasn't one?

Twistedelegance said:

Don't you know that all of us got indian somewhere in our family
And when I say us, I mean black folk.....
but seriously, I think she is just high yella'.....I have an aunt who looks just like her just as someone had previously posted.

Prince definitely has his mother's eyes, and I think he is looking more and more like his father as he's growing older.

Prince was Always Black and in Touch with his Black side ya know his Music was ALWAYS Funky . He was Marketed to APPEAL to The POP Audience but he Was Black in Purple rain in fact he's Always been Black....Somewhere along the line he dated White Girls ya know ...Prince Dated who he Felt like Dating ya know. Then I wanna tell ya something Alright he's Married now but ya know if he Ever Divorced doesn't mean he wouldn't Date ANOTHER WHITE or PUERTO RICAN girl ya know he will Date Whomever Turns him on and I tell ya Something also I think he'll dally with WHOMEVER is HOT STUFF like ANY MAN so if he Ever Divorces Manuela because of Whatever reason and ya know it's so Hard to Stay with Someone Forever do not PRESUME he Wouldn't Screw Around with HOT Tail... He's a Man and Men like Hot Sex and Hotter Women Baby.....

Zelaira said:

Zelly, you're cracking me up!

That's correct. I read an article about him in the late 70's where he was quoted as stating that he was half-Black, half-Italian, which I doubted, then KNEW was not true, once I saw his parents, circa P.R.-era....

Prince started those false rumors himself.....[/quote]
