Exactly and you noticed he/she only mentioned Nona, Mani and Robin as unattractive when in fact they are not, they are all beautiful women. The author either has to be a jealous female possibly non-black or just a female period, impersonating a male and can't stand to see Prince who is a man of color be with women of color,... OR either the author is a male who dislikes women of color and is using Prince and his exgirlfriends/wives looks as a topic to express his/her dislike for those type of women .. OR it's a male of color that just has a dislike for women of a darker shade....lighter shade vs darker shade....same sh*t, different day...this sh*t never ends...this is definitely a bait thread.

I have never seen Prince with a woman that wasn't sexy. EVER In fact I fashioned my taste in women after Prince to be honest. As a kid I remember watching GB (ever female in that movie was HOT!) Nona Gaye is what I hope my wife will look like her.

When Robin Power was on this board discussing her relationship with Prince. It
seemed to upset people that he was involved with a woman of color.

It seemed to bother the men and woman. Once again it is really no one's concern who dude is involved with and some of the black people are showing their self-hatred and the other races are just being bigoted. I don't know what to make of the woman.

Oh I know, same story all the time, and you are so right, it's not anyone's business. It's almost as though some fans think Prince needs their permission to date, marry, conversate, work, associate, sing on stage with or bring women of color on stage at his concerts, ..that's totally insane and ridiculous, almost like some "fatal attraction" stuff going on in here , and it's a non-stop topic all the time, that makes absolutely no sense.

I must admit that I find this, "woman bashing," that is prevalent in relation to Mani, Cat, Nona, Robin, Carmen etc. a bit of a worry. These woman are all beautiful in different ways and have a talent or look which attracted Prince at one time to work or date these woman. Who are we to line them up in order of what we deem to be beautiful? Would we like to have someone ask people at our work to rate us all according to looks?

I know that this is just a bait thread, negative and worthless but sometimes you just have to say how you feel.

Cat
Indian Broad from Vanity 6

No such animal.

Nona is quite fine.

You raise a very good point. I think that some people maybe actually angry they can't have a woman who looks as good as those mentioned.
All jokes aside as a straight none of the women mentioned would be turned away from my home. Even Cat today would be welcome to come and rap a taste

She was a Bad MF back in the day. Check out the movie "No Way Out" with her and Gerbal Man ( Richard Gere ) she has some sexy scenes in that movie.

It is a bait thread no question about it, and it's sickening that the "bashing" of women of color is constant on these forums, and they need to make it clear that this type of bashing is not acceptable.

Yep, with you on this. Although, I should really stop adding to this thread as all I'm doing is bumping it up, lol.

2elijah said:

I agree 100%

sj1600 said:

That's ok because there is a famous saying from an activist that goes "Rub raw the sores of discontent" so the more we make it known that we won't stand for it, then maybe they will listen and make it a rule that this type of bashing has to stop!

Thank you..the hateration on these forums regarding "Women of Color" has to stop!...especially if this is a fan site basically dedicated to an African-American Artist.

But u see, we KNOW that RACISM does NOT exist in any FORM. It NEVER has.

laurarichardson said:

ok, i've been trying to keep my mouth shut..but...well..anyways.

i agree..bashing is unacceptable in any form. however, you have too view both sides of the coin. i, as a white woman, have been bashed on these boards for being white. is that considered racist and should it be allowed? yes it is racist, and no it shouldn't be allowed....keeping that in mind, this is a public forum with people from all walks of life, that will have varying opinions. some feel that white people shouldn't appreciate prince's music as much as people of color. i mean, come one, to be bashed because i don't "understand" because i am white? to say i don't and shouldn't appreciate prince's music because i am white?

i agree with the above post though, i have seen the hateration on prince women regardless of color. i know specifically which thread yall are talking about when you speak of the bashing on the color of women in prince's life...but that was a very few select people making those comments, and they do not, i repeat, do not represent the opinion of the majority of orgers.

txladykat said:

and for the record, i think nona is a very beautiful woman and should not be included in that list whatsoever!

You are right, it is not all the orgers that bash women of color so let me apologize for that, but just a select few, and to tell you the truth I think bashing of any woman period on these forums is unacceptable, but there has been much more bashing when it comes to women of a darker complexion that has been involved in Prince's life whether it's professionally or on a personal basis, i.e, Mani, Nona, Robin and let's not forget Tamar.

Puleeeeaaaaasssseeee lock this bitch up

Graycap23 said:

Well, obviously racism exists, but that doesn't mean that any time a less than flattering comment is made about a black person, it just HAS to be racist.

How many times do you see people like Gwen Stefani getting bashed on this site? Does that mean this site has a bias against white people? If I ask a black or Asian girl out and she rejects me, should I assume that she said no because she hates white people? It's just silly, plain and simple.

Now, if a person were to say they don't find Nona attractive and followed that up with a comment like , "Prince needs to stay away from those people", then proceed to tear that person a new asshole by all means.

It's so silly. I think Mayte is way, way hotter than Nona. I must be racist against black people! ...But I also think Nona is way hotter than Lisa Coleman. Err, I must be racist against white people! But wait, I also think Carmen Electra is hotter than Mani.

Where does it end?
