The Afro on "For You" wasn't a clue

Well, on that cover he was darkened so the thought really didn't cross my mind, but when I saw him on American Bandstand I thought a couple of things one was that he might be mixed.

Seriously, I hope the question doesn't offend-as an African-American the question was just asked to get a real sense of how many out there really believe he is. I'm glad that you are so honest with your answer

Tamera1 said:

Wow-even when he identifies himself as a "brother" on many of his songs?

Tamera1 said:

It's true-we are all mixtures to be honest

morningsong said:

Was it the hair? Or his overall skin tone?

I never thought that Prince was "mixed". The texture of his hair,his full mouth,and the fact that he has rhythm tellz me what the deal is.Plus his parentz...so what'z 2 question?

nurseV said:

thats his given choice.

sexxydancer said:

I can remember back in the 80's when PR came out-Pics of his parents were in magazines and people still believed he was mixed even after seeing them then

Tamera1 said:

I can accept that

nurseV said:

Some people don't wanna face factz.

sexxydancer said:

when it gets down to it, he's black. As black as alot of people in this country can be, all things considered. Look at him, look at his parents.
Some people think you gotta be dark as tar with a disk in your lip to be black.
And being mixed is no amazing thing, anyway, If thats the case. Our women were raped during slavery and the period after that.

not to mention that some people actually make mixed babies by choice too, eh?
no matter -- we all beautiful in G+D's eyes

I can't belive this is even an issue

My God. Does it actually matter what colour or race he is? It simply should not be an issue.

I did think Prince was a mixed race guy, and I thought he was extremely feminine (still do). Love him.

This shit needs to be

^^why?^^ we have freedom of speech here in America. There are several threads and posts in the politics and religion forums and there's nothing wrong with that. Don't be so afraid of the fact that people DO come in different colors.

We are all products of our Mother'z and Father'z...as they are children, of their parents....and so, on....We are all mixed.

Tamera1 said:

he's not mixed!
I mean you've SEEN pics of his parents. They're BOTH black!
Just like my parents. I'm light, doesn't mean i'm "mixed".

it's been widely reported over the years that prince is of african american and italian heritage. on top of that, prince even said himself on tavis smiley that there is native american ancestry in his family.

but like someone else said on this thread, if we all take a magnifying glass to our family histories, i'm sure we're ALL mixed to some extent.

Anxiety said:

Oh, good lord.
If we're using that definition, then i guess i'm mixed too.

Hell, using that definition everyone in the world is mixed.
So if someone has italian and polish heritages in their background, that's mixed right?
Regardless of how Prince in the early days used to spin that little fairytale, both his mom and dad are black. Therefore, he's black. PERIOD.

Tamera1 said:

exactly thats what i mean. no more than I either. I can't believe i let myself get sucked into this thread. a person is who they are. bi racial 'mixed' what have you. it's who YOU are and what YOU feel within your soul and inner being that matters.
