So you don't mind the pot/kettle factor of this. Ok. falloff falloff

Those of us who object to Prince's assholeish ways are protesting by not giving him a damn penny from our pockets. This site doesn't cost us anything and I am free to express my views! When I paid for NPGMC, which I loved btw (the club not the site), I was prevented from expressing myself freely.

There is no pot/kettle issue. If this was Prince's actual, official, affiliated site then yes. This is Ben's site.


Yeah you are free to express your views. Guess what chief? So am I. Just wanted to point out how your initial statement comes off.

And this has nothing to do with who runs the site. The site is still primarily and Prince fan site. lol

Primarily? There are other forums that have nothing to do with Prince where people congregate regularly without ever discussing the Great Satan. You don't see many of those people in the Prince forum just like the fambots don't venture anywhere else on the site. Being a member for 13 years, this place stopped being about Prince for me a long time ago.....

Nice. Linking to an article calling Prince the 'N' word.

Some people's hatred of Prince knows no boundaries.


1. I hadn't even noticed that.

2. Perhaps the author is black?


WOW.

It doesn't matter WHAT "color" you are, no one should ever use that word...especially if you are black, dang. I don't get why people do, knowing the word's history. *shakes head*

Just sayin'...that has always bothered me how people can be so ignorant and careless about it.

It's not, but linking to a source that doesn't call Prince the 'n' word in the article would have been more appropriate.

It's someone else's speech.
N-words may have a slightly different meaning depending on location/upbringing/use/context/etc.
So I'd not be upset too soon about this now.
We're not in Texas, right?

for example in many prince songs where he uses the word
it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die

because if everyone was ignorant and careless about it the words history wouldn't matter, it would lose it's connotations and become just a word to be used like any other.

EXACTLY! Which is why it baffles me when ppl say it so carelessly, as if it's a term of endearment. WTF??? How ignorant can you be? I guess some people WANT to use it for that reason, but that really is...stupid. And, to say that a white person can't say it, but a black person can...ay, ay, ay. How about...it should be said, period? How about...people are people?

And, ps, just because Prince has used that word doesn't make it right. Prince is not perfect. Prince did and said a LOT of things that he doesn't do now, and for a reason.

His latest stupidity can be seen when he asked youtube to shut down his Lotusflow3r commercial from their site. It’s a commercial stupid! I believe that would increase your sales and put some money in your pocket. And you get to advertise for free! More money in your pocket!! What else do you want?


Only Prince can manage to screw up FREE PUBLICITY.



So what?

91 people just lost their lives in Italy as the result of an earthquake.

More people are suffering around The World.

What Prince does, or does not so, will not cause real suffering.

Who in their "right minds" really want to see that commercial over-and-over again?


I really think that he is saving your lives (unknowningly) by forcing Youtube.com to delete the commerical.

"Self-haters" use that word.

The author's/blogger's credibility = Swiss Cheese


Using that word, the author might as well be white. What's worse. Prince saving him some time by erasing this video, or the author using the "N word"...

...over a commerical that airs every night on television.

No it isn't. That word isn't part of this thread or the topic at hand. Want to bitch about it, go to the blogger site where it was actually relevant.

I guess I don't get, that if you despise someone so much why spend time talking about them. and yes there are other forums but you do post here a lot. Just thinking myself, if I disliked an artist I wouldn't be on a website dedicated or based on him, constantly talking about them with such negativity. I don't get it, I don't see the appeal. Why would I spend my precious time devoted to someone where I only have negative feelings for. Just some thought.

I still like you Supa cuz you're funny as hell. cool

Don;t ask me, I don't use it, mainly because some people get offended by it, not because i have a problem with it myself. As far as I'm concerned I don't have a problem with any words in themselves. Just the way they are used sometimes.
