Hmmm....but is he short?? biggrin


He is quite short (maybe the same height actually) and kind of has the pimp thing going on.



Another great choice! clapping When I see him, I think of Prince. He has to work on his voice b/c it is not deep and sexy.

The actor would probably need a few films under his belt. Afterall,...he's potraying a worldwide legend. He doesn't have to be white or black to be convincing! Just hand him a guitar and see if the glove fits.

I elect this guy:

Why because we feel that a Black actor should play a Black musician who is Black in real life? What's there to get over?? lol lol

Maybe we should get Don Cheadle to play John Lennon, or Wesley Snipes to play Bruce Springsteen lol I guess that would be ok with you too? lol But just to remind you, I'm sure you've already seen how some people react when a Black Man portrays Jesus in a play, and that's just to give you a taste of people "getting over sh** as you put it. lol

THIS lady is NOT fuckin Italian.

Prince's mother - Mattie Baker



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

Prince's father - John L. Nelson (1986)





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.

I'm giving u a standing ovation right now! Your post was so on point! I agree 110%.

Calm the fuck down. Prince is mixed, just not the way we saw in Purple Rain. AS a matter of fact, ALL OF US are mixed, even dark skinned black people are mixed, cuz the fact of it is, an ancestors did a whole lotta jungle-fevering in their day, whether by rape or by choice. ALL OF US ARE MIXED in some way, period.


NIGGA PLEASE.

I never said he wasn't. Prince has always known he's black, he's always identified himself that way, but in the beginning, he played the colorstruck role for the media in order to confuse and confound them, because they got on his nerves with their persistent questioning. THEY were the ones who were REALLY colorstruck, not him. So he decided to have some fun with them. He realized that it didn't matter what he told them, they were going to go with their own version of his ethnic heritage anyway. Having said all that, I stand by my position that MOST black people in this country whose ancestors were slaves were still mixed in some way, meaning slave masters did some fuckin around, but even so, they're still black. Get it now?


"17 years old and don't know shit" is more like it.... rolleyes

I totally agree with everything you said there except for the bolded part. What makes you think that? I'm not gonna say 'fuckin' around' as you say didn't happen, but you REALLY think MOST black people in the US today are descendants from those kind of situations (which weren't as common as you seem to think they were)? That's not the case, sorry.

It's kinda sad that you edited just to say that, when the fact is, your point is some idealized bs theory you keep insisting is a fact of history.

And I'm pretty sure I didn't get into an Ivy League university by "not knowing shit."

Ok, not "most". I'll just say "a LOT".

It's kinda sad that you responded to my other post with the "N" word. Coming from an Ivy League school, one would think you'd know better...

.. <-- understood the joke .. lol .. that afro pic represents the 'roots' of what he is. We know how pretty he can look when he's made up(and he is beautiful), but if they do a movie on Prince, they have to find young actors with a 'roots' background to look like him as he was growing up, that's no disrespect to any other race of ppl. If they use a Caucasian to play the adult Prince..(which I seriously do not believe they will) that person has to have some heavy ethnic features. I don't know of any Caucasian actors having a 'roots' look .. lol
