Family Name, Avalanche, When Will We b Paid all covered the topic. Prince fans had a lot to say, especially the first two so if you expected it to be an issue you were spot on. wink

True, just saying he chose to record it, thus hinting at some attachment to the song's sentiment. wink

the song would be misunderstood, lambasted and prince accused of being a racist and/or anti-semite himself
