Exactly....the word "racist" was never used. he simply made a dumb statement and can't handle when ppl called him on the "prince is a little light for a black guy" dumb ass statement and then proceeded to explain what a "black man" looks like. He should have just said, it was dumb and continued the conversation. Black ppl are light, dark, brown, etc. etc.....it was simply a dumb statement. some of ya'll don't realize that black folks tan just like other ppl. We get darker in the summer, etc, etc. So the IGNORANCE continues with this thread as well. Its sooooo obivious that AsianBomb DIDN'T read what some of us posted about his statement. he jumped into some "they calling me a racist" bullshit". I don't think because you're ignorance on an issue of race and color that makes you racist. I just thought that statement was just silly and did show signs of ignorance about the different colors of black folks. I know I didn't call him a racist...just naive.

CalhounSq said: psykosoul said: How hard is the answer to this really?
 Folks like Lil' Kim and MJ who were obviously darker skinned black people at one point in their career are going to be under scrutiny when they appear to be "high yellow" one year. Prince has been the same "high yellow" since birth, the only variance depends upon which brand of pancake makeup he chooses to wear that day. So beyond why Prince's actual skin color is even questioned, why is this an issue again  b/c this dude is a fucking moron w/ too much time on his hands. You'd think he'd use it to improve his photoshop "skills" You must be a fucking moron as well because if you had better things to do with your time then you wouldn't even bother commenting to morons that have too much time on their hands. So join the club moron!  | |

laurarichardson said: strawberrydreams said: Lets' just sum this all up shall we.....
Theory one: The way I see it, when Prince was younger he wore lighter make-up to make him look.....well lighter than what he normally is!! But now since the man is knocking on 50 yrs, he has to wear darker make-up to cover up the things that he doesn't want to be seen. Hince which explains why he looks darker now than he did then. Theory two He has stopped the bleaching of his skin. It's quite obvious that he was darker during his first couple of albums. Then suddenly out of the blue he started getting lighter. All I got to say is thank god he didn't take it to the level Micheal did, but hey he did something. [Edited 9/20/04 16:45pm] ----- Read this Prince has not lightend his skin. It is called make-up, lighting and a tan. If he tried to lighten his skin he would probaly vanish as he is already light. Everybody on this thread needs to get a firm grip on reality. ----- Why don't you read this How would you know if he has lightend his skin or not? And if you had read my above statement you would have noticed that I did mention make-up as a theory. So unless you personally know the man, which I am pretty damn sure you don't, then you are taking guesses just like the rest of us. So that says what, it says that you are the one who needs to get a grip. Besides anyone can tell from the time of his self titled album(prince) to the time of purple rain, he had gotten considerably lighter. And as far as your statement about a tan, well I don't know of many black people who try to get a tan. "Love God" | |

Even EARLY pics show he was a LIGHSKINNED BLACK MAN!!!!!uh.....light skin black people sometimes bleach their skin to! Especially if they want to be lighter or on the verge of being white. Let's not forget that during the 80's prince wanted to give the idea that he was mixed. Basically I don't care what you guys say.....I have my proof: Just look at the cover of his self titled album "Prince" "Love God" | |

Hey! Rhondab, I can't believe that this subject is still being discussed, but I guess everyone has a right to make their point...at least you and I and others that can relate know that whether Prince is light-skinned or not...he is still a "Black Man" and I say that with Pride... Peace | |

Come on u guys...really...
Prince appears just as light as he did back in the 70s. I'm the same complexion, and I have appeared darker on some pics than others. It does indeed depend on the lighting. strawberrydreams said: Besides anyone can tell from the time of his self titled album(prince) to the time of purple rain, he had gotten considerably lighter. And as far as your statement about a tan, well I don't know of many black people who try to get a tan. I'm black, and I don't try to tan, but damn if I'm under the sun, I'm gonna tan!! | |

GAPeach said: I'm black, and I don't try to tan, but damn if I'm under the sun, I'm gonna tan!! THANK you!!! That was my point. I said nothing but black ppl tan or should I have said get darker in the sun...just walking around. damn. Ya'll aren't this bad...right. Strawberrydreams: I didn't say black ppl go to the tanning booth and fry their skin. I didn't anything about black ppl TRYING to get a tan. BUT WE DO TAN.
My daughter is as light as prince...she gets lighter in the winter and darker in the summer. damn....this isn't rocket science. Zelijah...I understanding having a conversation about the lightening of a persons skin. I just continue to be bothered by the statements being made within the conversation.  | |

Rockability said: IDIOTS,
I am only responding to this dumb fucking topic cause you fuckers are stupid. If you think Prince has changed his skin color, that's because your too fucking dumb to understand your TV changes colors on different channels and not every picture is the same brgithness. Motherfuckers, Prince isn't MICHAEL JACKSON. And no, Prince didn't GET HIS NOSE DONE or ANYTHING DONE. Listen..., if Prince was into that, don't you think the fucking Tabloids would cover it??? | |

Well I know that you probably feel that you are the negro expert on this site and everything like that.....but I didn't say that black people couldn't get darker by just going out in the sun. I mean duh!!!! Hey betcha' that I know just as much about black people as you do with me being a black woman and all. But it is all good.

Wait a minute? Prince is not mixed? Someone in this thread said he only made it seem that way in the 80's with the Purple Rain movie n all. This whole time I thought his mom was Italian and his dad is black. I'm so confused! I'm sorry I just started getting into Prince and I really don't know. Can someone give me the scoop? | |

AsianBomb777 said: OK.
I just need to know this. It seems that it's perfectly ok for me to make comments about how Lil Kim's skin has lightenned over time, but if I even alude to it about Prince, I get branded ignorant or racist. I just need to know--are people delusional when it comes to Prince? Or is pointing out skin color somehow intrinsicaly racist? I don't understand? And why is it o.k. to dish on Kim and not P? LiL Kim's complexion isnt natural she bleaches her skin if she doesnt stop sooner or later she's gonna become just as transparent as michael jackson..If Prince bleaches his skin thats his prerogative..But imo he was born with a light complexion anyone will get darker if they stay in the sun long enough ..If his skin was green would it make a difference?...I think not.Live~Love~Learn | |

His both parents are African-American (actually rather were, neither of them is alive anymore). His dad apparently had some Italian blood running through his veins as well. Prince is just a peculiar looking little rooster, you know. [Edited 9/25/04 3:44am] | |
