Not that I give a flying rats arse what colour the band members are as long as the music keeps coming out like it is. But isn’t Latin considered white, or as I prefer Caucasian (and I ain’t talking crabs and lobsters!!)

and rosie is black ?
goddamn coulda fooled me
well that just adds to prove my point even more
cool

thanks alot !



Ummm, the people I listed were ALL band members, or musicians who contributed to his albums at one point or another, you stupid prat! And if you couldn't tell Rosie was black, then you must be friggin' blind. I only pointed that out to show that you obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about. It hardly makes Prince a racist if he gives the majority of his musician jobs to people of colour. All that it means is that he is employing people from his own community in Minneapolis.

Using your argument, Sting REALLY hates white people, since his solo bands have been almost completely comprised of black folks (point of fact, the bands on his first two solo albums were ALL black, and the subsequent bands have featured no more than two.)

or have some severe reading problems.

Jon Coleman ?? - what the hell did he ever do for Prince ? possible you could be thinking of Jon Melvoin but like you would know about a dead junkie. And banging some percussion and ONE background vocal hardly counts him as a bandmember .

Jill Jones - oh yeah she played bass on the lovesexy an SOTT tours right ? fool

Dale Bozzio - dont get confused man, we are talking about Prince not Zappa, bozzio did crap for prince and dont give me that ulysses crap either.

"have you seen Prince's alleged wife? She's italian (which, last time I checked, was considered white)."

oh yeah Mani - how could i forget her - I see her on stage every concert, she plays bongoes right ?

so dont tell me I don't know shit, I know more than you do boo

"All that it means is that he is employing people from his own community in Minneapolis."

yeah one of the whitest communities in the USA...
funny how most of the bandmembers are black.
makes sense does it ? fool

get a brain.

"Using your argument, Sting REALLY hates white people, since his solo bands have been almost completely comprised of black folks (point of fact, the bands on his first two solo albums were ALL black, and the subsequent bands have "

sure he hates them , fact is FOOL he has admitted that he actually prefers coloured people to white people if you could be bothered to research this shit you throw up to try and throw everyone off your pathetic trail of crappomaniacial misinformation.

Hmm...funny thing is about this is that I can kind of see some rationale behind your retort. However, your handle seems to fit you, justanotherasshole. People of ethnic origins other than "white" are not "coloured". They were born that way, not colored on by some fucknut with crayons. They remain that way every day.

The week minded are frequently amused easily

oh yeah and since I already said I WASNT INCLUDING contributors - ONLY band members - goddam you are dumb.

Your argument is that Prince hates white people because he doesn't have them in his band. Well these people have contributed to his actual albums. I'm not debating that they aren't actual band members, but that these are bona fide white people who have been involved in Prince's creative process. I'm sorry your intelligence level doesn't allow you to see the logic of this argument. Perhaps you shouldn't be trying to debate with grown folks.


Jon Coleman ?? - what the hell did he ever do for Prince ? possible you could be thinking of Jon Melvoin but like you would know about a dead junkie. And banging some percussion and ONE background vocal hardly counts him as a bandmember.

Okay, I will admit I meant Jon Melvoin. Oh, and he did tour with Prince & The Revolution circa 1986, so while not an official bandmember, he was a part of the touring lineup.

Jill Jones - oh yeah she played bass on the lovesexy an SOTT tours right ? fool

She was a background singer on more than one album and tour. She was frequently present onstage for the 1999 and Purple Rain tours. If you include his dancers as "bandmembers", then I certainly think a vocalist counts

Dale Bozzio - dont get confused man, we are talking about Prince not Zappa, bozzio did crap for prince and dont give me that ulysses crap either.

Bozzio did an album on Paisley Park, and contributed backing vocals to some of the tracks recorded at the time. She wasn't a part of the Ulysses project, that was Carmen Elecktra (oh no! Another white person). Again, while YOU are referring only to band members, I'm arguing that musicians he has worked with professionally negates your argument that Prince is racist towards whites.

"have you seen Prince's alleged wife? She's italian (which, last time I checked, was considered white)."

oh yeah Mani - how could i forget her - I see her on stage every concert, she plays bongoes right ?

Again, my point is not to address who his bandmembers are, but to point out that such an argument is ridiculous. So Prince has primarily had black band members. How does this make him racist? My point is that he has worked, in a professional context, with many white musicians, and on a personal level he has had friends and lovers of the white race. To deny these facts is absurd

so dont tell me I don't know shit, I know more than you do boo

Yeah, this coming from the guy who thought Rosie Gaines was white. Hey, guess what? Aretha Franklin and Jimi Hendrix are black folks too!

"All that it means is that he is employing people from his own community in Minneapolis."

yeah one of the whitest communities in the USA...
funny how most of the bandmembers are black.
makes sense does it ? fool

Oh, right. There is no black community in Minneapolis. Yup, only white people. If anything, this furthers my argument. He is just giving the few talented black musicians in a predominately white city a chance they wouldn't ordinarily have.

get a brain.

I have one. Unlike you, I USE it.

"Using your argument, Sting REALLY hates white people, since his solo bands have been almost completely comprised of black folks (point of fact, the bands on his first two solo albums were ALL black, and the subsequent bands have "

sure he hates them , fact is FOOL he has admitted that he actually prefers coloured people to white people if you could be bothered to research this shit you throw up to try and throw everyone off your pathetic trail of crappomaniacial misinformation.

No, Sting has said he prefers to WORK with black musicians, for the element that they can bring to his music. He has never said he doesn't like white people. Oh, by the way Sting is white. I only point this out since you seem to have trouble distinguishing these things. Oh, and his guitarist for the last ten years? White as well! Oh, his wife? Yup, white again! Yes, he really hates his own race. Don't preach to me about research, since you were the one who couldn't get Bobby Z's race correct (hey, another white dude! Gasp!) The fact is, you're just trying to rile people up with your retarded race baiting. There is enough of this crap in the world today without idiots like you trying to stir things up. Grow up.

Damn, don't u people listen? I told u a month or so back about the information I'd received. We're due to receive 8 "Silicon" remixes that Prince has had lying about for a little while.

It's going to be like a little give-away. Or at least seem like before it starts to dawn on 2003 members that it fulfils 2003's contract.

I wonder, do u think Prince could palm off Xpectation as a CD for 2003?

I do like the album though. Prince redeemed himself in a big way with me with that one. I got the live box set on the 30th and then that 2 days ago. Been fun lately.

man there is no point even talking to you since we are talking about totally different things and you fail to
even realize that.

and also you fail to realize the simple concepts of irony, sarcasm and hypocrisy so I just can't have a conversation with someone who can't even grasp those basic concepts.

the reason there's mostly black people in his band is, nevermind what Prince says, he plays BLACK music MOST of the time. Now who generally plays black music better...hmm...black people!

Some people on here need to back up and take a deep breath. What the hell difference does it really make what color his band members are. The music is funky as hell and that is what is important. Gees, the little man gets shit when his band is majorily white and now you talk shit because there seems to be a majority of blacks backing him. Give him a break! rolleyes The band is tight and he is a genious. They could be pink and green for all it matters as long as the sound is tight.

He talks about loving each other regardless of skin color because that is what he himself has done. If I come in here preaching equality but then I turn around and hire a majority of one color does that make me a hipocrite(?) ? Hell no it just means that the people I felt where the best at this job just happened to be black or white.

Stop talking color and start talking funk. Because in the end that is what it is about.

TO ME ITS FUNNY THAT THE "RACES" ARE ALL PUMPED UP OVER ADMITTING THE TRUTH; BUT WHEN SOMEONE MAKES AN OBSERVATION BASED ON RACE, THE "RACES" ARE THE FIRST ONES TO TOSS OUT THE RACE CARD??? i FIND IT MORE THAN COMICAL. FURTHERMORE, CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW MANY RACE CARDS ARE IN THE RACE DECK??? IM JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE IT GETS OLD WHEN THEY PLAY THE SAME HAND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. asshole YOU ROCK!!!

Also I had to comment on this statement too. Last time I checked the answer is: NO . Some white people might get offended at this statement. But then again some people of Latin hertiage might be offended at being called white.
