so how would you define me?


i think you would have to define yourself, as i know absolutely nothing about your ethnic background


correct. but in reference to me, in order to discuss race relations, you would have to define me according to pre-established racial terms right? or no

Jamie Lidell does this weird stuff beatboxing and sampling his own voice live. It's really hard to explain but fascinating to watch.

I was just listening to that song, it's funny. Prince make fun of white people in a lot of his music, but they never seemed to mind so hey..... smile

The only part of it that bothers me, is that if it was a white artist poking fun at people of colour, they'd be strung up.


true.

but in prince's case its different. its part of his style provoking and going from one extreme to another. and he got us right where he does all the time: talking about him and thinking about why he does something. i guess the answer is quite simple: because he wants to. and this kind of arrogance is so intelligent and funny and interesting although its actually just being openminded and pushing the borders.

thats why prince is the only one i respect as an artist who i dont mind about making fun of any kind of people. is its some black silver-chain dude rappin about fucking all kind of "bitches" and then making fun of white people i just laugh along. but when prince does it i laugh, like REALLY laugh
biggrin

plus im white and i live rhythm. i also live melody, people say black people dont have the feeling for. bullshit.

it all happens in your mind, heart and soul. not through the colour of your skin.

Being held responsible for the actions of their ancestors?

I think SirPsycho hit the nail on the head.



none of my people were ever involved in slavery. period. i feel no personal burden of guilt whatsoever for the actions of people who lived 400 years ago, were not related to me, and acted without my knowledge and outside my control.

moreover, the term 'white people' is inaccurate and stereotypical, even a bit racist. a more correct way to describe people of european descent would be to correctly identify them according to their cultural heritage. for example, german people, french people, swedish people... etc .
[Edited 8/18/08 11:15am]


And all the while we discuss racism it lives.

I should rarely feel guilt for the actions of others. I am responsible for my own actions in this life. If my actions bring about a behaviour in another then in part I am responsible for that. Guilt, pride, whatever feeling the action engenders could be said to be part of my doing. But how (why?) should I have these feelings for those that went before me? There is no reason in that.

As for the thread's topic (albeit very loosely), what if I were to say white guys can't dance and black guys have big dicks. Am I stereotyping? Yes. Is it a racist comment? No.

And let's face it Prince is always mocking the 'white guy'. Look at that poor fucker last year stood on stage while Prince apes him from behind. And the song? Play That Funky Music White Boy.

He may ridicule the stereotypical white male but could Prince have come up with Windows?

In 1982, it was all about having fun, and we all knew it
Something changed in the late '90s though... and those who know, know.

White pain? What pain would that be?


obviously i wouldnt know, being black. but i dont think anybody enjoys the attention we pay to color.

Thats because america is obsessed with race! Where i come from interaciall relations is no big deal.(hate using the term racial btw, skin-color is just physical-features) cool

Very true. But as a white guy I have issues. For one I can't dance and for another I have a small penis. Damn, no wonder the black community feels like the white's hate them. And not really wanting to continue but feeling compelled to do so I'd just like to say I still resent womankind for taking a bite of that bloody apple. We had it nice and cushy and the stupid cow goes and listens to a talking snake! I mean, come on! No wonder they're always taking out store cards.

hrmph I think it's just some people in general that don't have a sense of rythm,not just white people,heck I'm sure there are even black people that don't have a sense of rythm,it really just depends on the person..

no no no! Prince

lol It IS funny, because it's mostly true!! When I used to dance, and if people clapped along to anything, they would nearly always get it wrong, clap too fast, too slow, clap on the wrong beats, it was really off putting! It always amazes me how people can't clap along in the right places, or when they dance, they dance off the beat, they just can't seem to hear it or feel it - no rhythm in their asses! Anyway, I'm white, but I CAN clap in time, and I'm funky too!! I must have some black blood in me wink It's like that Richard Prior sketch, where he laughs at how white people 'walk' - that is SO funny!


that's y i love getting video from europe ..falloff

I get the feeling that Prince is poking fun... that white people don't have a great sense of rythym... we need a little extra help with clapping

"all the white people clap your hands on the 4 now... 1 2 3 FOUR"

anyone else hear this?


With the exception of me and my fellow Prince fans, all white people lose any funkiness they may have had by the time they reach 30.

There should be a law that says white women over the age of 30 are not allowed to try to get funky on the dance floor. This may be news to the non-Prince world, but doing the hand-jive DOES NOT qualify as funk.
