That's what I meant by the Al Green and Lionel Richie comment. Handle it direct and than go on Oprah (this part was a joke).

Yeah, well, many people apparently think Prince is very "narrow-minded," by agreeing that "all of his women look the same."

nurseV said:

Sorry guys but it's all about latinos, fuck yeah!

rudedog said:

Yeah but Prince like many other affluent brothas who date racially ambiguous women appear to some folk to not even be looking at their own peeps (black women). Now I know this is not true about Prince, he's dated black women of every hue but because the media doesn't showcase his excursions with these sistahs people assume he doesn't date them. Another thing is, and I've said this before, is that Prince is fair his damn self so why do we get shocked when we see him with a fair woman? It's not the same as Quincy and his never ending stream of white pussy.

I really dont think the race or skin tone of the Women Prince dates is an issue as he doesnt seem to be doing it out of self hate, quite the opposite in fact Prince's women pretty much look like him thats how much dude loves himself

Its pretty unfair for those sites to lump Prince into the same category as other males who dont date 'dark skinned' black women and will also have alot of hateful comments to explain away their reasons...
Prince and other males (black & non black) preference for Latino or Latino looking women only gets contentious when it is also 'implied' that this choice is due to some percieved inadequacy in non latino looking women.

I think with Prince it is definitely about perception and not fact.

Truth!!

As long as Prince is happy, so be it.Happiness is NOT a skin color. you can married the darkest skinned women and be in misery or be with a albino and be
unhappy. So I don't get the whole Prince 'doesn't like Black women thing'I always thought Prince liked women who looked like HIM in honesty

^ you know if Princey got with a Grace Jones lookin chick or an albino chick or even a fat chick then he probably would get so much negative flack, the likes of which he probably never endured. People rag on his women having a "look" but if goes outside that "look" then people still be mad.

co-sign

It's not as though he can choose what type of woman he's attracted to, anyway.

DesireeNevermind said:

Like they did with Tamar.

many of them swear they know their Prince-tory

I was laughin my ass off when someone on that site in the comments was like "his short bigheaded self" !!!

Susannah does not look like Prince.
Mayte does not look like Prince.
Manuela does not look like Prince.
Bria does not look like Prince.
Vanity sadly tried to act, talk and pose like Prince, but still, she did not look like him either.

Someone who looks like you is a person who could be mistaken to be your brother/sister. There has only been one Prince protege who naturally resembled him, and that was Chelsea Rodgers. But we never saw them get married, or even him holding her hand in public, and their faces are nearly identical. Therefore, I don't believe his preference is for women who have features like him, but for women who have features like the ones listed above.

I clicked on those links, and it seems they have a lot of positive comments about him and his appearance at the show. Seems they have some pretty good moderation as well.

I didn't visit either one of the sites. Was just agreeing since I haven't seen Prince with too many women who didn't favor Vanity or look like they were Latin.

Well hell, a lot of y'all have wanted Prince back in the current mainstream's attention and apparently Prince himself wanted back in it also considering that he keeps putting at least one sellout current sounding shit hop track per album lately. Well, he's got their attention now so what's the problem? If he wants to lay with dogs, don't complain when the fleas start biting.

even if prince did get with a dark skinned black woman there would still be negativeity amongst some of these blacks who complain about this

you should have seen the ugly nasty comments made on youtube against Ushers ex wife

mmm.... well i'm just happy he still getting laid...
lawd knows it may be blasphemy but MJ needed some!!!

mayrain said:

I hear you! Someone on another thread asked if he knew Nia Long. Do you know how fly Prince would be with a bad sista like Nia on his arm in these pics? She's beautiful, talented, successful, a Prince fan and short - . It would be nice to see him sport a sista instead of creepin' with them like a slave master. Instead, he just keeps going back to the same well - and ending up with an empty bucket in the long run because in the words of Michael Franti and Spearhead, "there's a hole in the bucket." He needs to set his "colonized mind" free.

ScarLett said:

You have a point there.

WaterInYourBath said:

It isnt my truth that a person who looks like you needs to be mistaken for a sybling or family member!!

The point of my post was to highlight IMHO The race of his women seems not to be an issue for him, he has exceptions but his primary requirement appears to be that they echo his colouring.. Evidenced in the fact that Prince favours olive skinned dark haired ladies be they white, latino or bi racial. Prince is an olive skinned dark haired man.

JOYJOY said:

And, you wisely left out Black. That, is my indirect point, which it seems you agree with. And I wasn't referring to color in my comparisons, but their actual faces.

But, I'm puzzled about something. Are you saying that if a person has the same skin and hair tone as another, but none of their facial features/structures are similar, they look alike? Lol, I'll never agree with that.

And people may say Bria has a masculine face or whatever, which is insulting, but I still don't think she looks like Prince. Their eyes aren't similar. Their noses aren't similar. Nor are their mouths, smiles, brows, nothing. So they don't look alike to me.

Susan Moonsie is quite dark; Kim Basinger is very light. He appears to have a preference for women with mixed ethnicities, but he has dated at both ends of the spectrum.

It's really not an issue.

What the hell are they playing at .....like mediatakeout gives a damn about black women or black men.....or Prince...
