Well I have never commented on P's ethnic background but now I will... I am mixed (my grandmother is of a lighter persuasion) but I consider myself 100% black do u know why? Because if they start lynching "niggers" my grandmother won't be a Get Out Of Noose Free Card! Thats how I judge everyone who has any black in them but have a problem with considering themselves as black. Tiger Woods=lynched Halle Berry= lynched. The same for Prince. As a matter of fact we'd probably be the first seeing as how we are a product of the long loathed concept of race mixing. I know its hard to feel as if you're denying a part of yourself to embrace or identify with another but this is America in the real world and we might as well face it race is a big issue and I consider myself black because I have had to struggle and face steretypes based on my skin color. When caucasians look at me funny, ( and they do in my town) I can't say oh but I'm really light skinned cause my grandma was white and they say "ok you're cool then". No when they look at me they see a black person. Prince has realized this about himself thats why TRC was giving some of his white fans so many headaches. He knows in the end he's still a brother who would be on the black side should a race riot break out.

THIS lady is NOT fuckin Italian.


We've been over this a million times. Prince's mother is BLACK..... His father is BLACK





Prince lied. Lied Lied Lied. As he ALWAYS did in interviews.It ain't no secret that Prince had the same colorstruck problems most black kids had when he was growing up. The difference was that Prince never grew out of it.
People's brains are stuck on that lady that played his mom in Purple Rain. That ain't his mother. HE AIN'T MIXED. He never was. Stop kidding yourselves. You know what I find hilarious about people on the org? People who soooo badly want Prince to be anything but Black and yet wanna call me racially biased because I refuse to allow y'all to bleach him into some white-ish ideal you created in your mind of what you think he ought to be. You wish that he wasn't Black but too damn bad. That's why you all dream of Johnny Depp and any other white actor you think of that would be acceptable in your minds to play him. He is Black. that is all. Nobody would ever think to name a Black actor to portray a real person who was White (no matter how tanned he was). That would absurd. But for me to pull your card on all of these damn white guys and say "no way" to that is ridiculous here.

Yeah, I wonder what Prince thinks of all his closet-dwelling-racist "fans"
I'm done.

Based on this thread I think Wesley Snipes should play Prince. Maybe that would shock of the people (and you KNOW who you are) into reality.

NO ONE could play Prince.

Not even Prince could play Prince.

NO ONE could play Prince.

Not even Prince could play Prince.

Esai Morales



or maybe there are some people on this site community that could play the part

Fine, I give up. Here's your goddamn dream cast

Starring in "Purple Reign: The Prince Story"

As Prince, it's obvious, short,crazy, ambigous sexuality...


Co-starring Jessica Simpson as Vanity


and, of course, as Morris E. Day, the versatile Sean William Scott



and last but not least, Prince's parents



I'm sure it'll be a hit

Tiger Woods=lynched Halle Berry= lynched. The same for Prince.



Attention, Attention, wanna hear a fact?
How many times we gotta tell you Prince is Black
If this was 70 years ago and Prince
got on the bus, they'd tell him to
"move to the back n****", and “we don’t wanna hear no fuss!”
If back then he winked at a white lady,
they would have lynched or shot him ‘til he bled like gravy
Hear ye, Hear ye, why can’t you understand?
That our musical genius Prince, is a Black Man!

oh, don't be so strict!
and if actors can play hobbits, why can't they play prince?

silverandgold said:

.... however, yer poem SUCKED! stick 2 the rhetoricals.

regardless BLACK, WHITE, or whatever!
these r my choices.

1rst Kris Khittan...MANGO from SNL, and Saturday nite at The Roxie.
eye have always thought Kris was Prince, and when he did MANGO eye new he was.

close 2nd...Katt Williams from Friday after Next...ALL the mannerisms r there!!!
the princey ones we love! He could rock the pimp rag matching lounge pajamas, Mayte-ho era.

if dude look like a lady, then it must b so vice versa...JASMINE GUY is more manly lookin' as Prince than Prince is.
the resemblense is uncanny!

honorable mention 2 Dave Navarro, Julian, and any miscellaneous bollywood cutie rocking the lashes, liner, and eyes.
ya got some near prince clones there.

have seen some very princeish looking Hari Khrishna paintings as well.

eye give a care if these ppl r not BLACK, it's the look, and the act eye wanna c.

now Katt Williams has such nastiness...he is a combination of ALL things Prince.
P rissy
R ude
I nvolved...with his self
N eye ain't gotta spell dat out
E ngaging

ain't nobody gotta like dese choices but me!

2 the person that laughed, peed, farted, and slobbered....hey eye felt u on that one! priceless!

Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles in "Ray"
Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash in "Walk The Line"

Surely Hollywood will someday make a big biography movie about Prince.

Which actor could play him?

Hmmm....but is he short??

tane1976 said:

Ok, tane1976, this is not directed solely towards you, but check this, most of the time all I ever hear is people trying to make Prince a white boy, more so than they throw in the Indian and Hispanic part, so imagine this:


"Attention all Black people born in America who are descendants of Africans who were made slaves before they came to the US. I want you to go to the courthouse and file papers against the families of our great-great-great-great-white grandfathers who screwed your African slave great-great-great grandmothers and file for some back child support, because since our white great-great-great-great-white grandfathers never took responsibility for their part in the making of our ten thousand shades of color and mixed blood, then they owe our African slave born American-great-great-great grandmamas and their children some damn child support"

Imagine if we did that? I mean since when was it ok to start breaking down certain bloodlines of Black people and changing their race to make some people feel comfortable, just to say they worship a Black man almost like he's God or Jesus, but so shamed to admit it?

Accept Prince for what he is "a Black Man". You don't have to start going back in Prince's mama's bloodline to say "ok Bob, we can say we love him because I think one of his mama's relatives was French or Italian, come on please, it's no damn secret why Black people are ten thousand shades of brown and black including everything from vanilla soiree to caramel to fudge to dark chocolate delight! But guess what? Newsflash! Bulletin! We're still Black! Come on read your history books...or didn't your mamas and daddies tell you. Fact is, Prince is Black, and it's ok to worship a Black man people , nothing wrong with that, ok? I ain't mad at you...shucks, Black people love Bill Clinton and we don't care that he's a white man because we see him as man that knows how to act like a "true human being" get my drift? (ok, ok so we did joke that Bill was our first Black President! )

(Boy the mods are gonna get me for this one!)
