Yo Reel!
Prince does not have an aversion to African American women. You need to do some research! | |

Prince is actually TRIRACIAL, mostly black yes, but also part white and amerindian.
You don't need to have one black parent + one white parent to be biracial, biracial doesn't necessarilly mean 50/50 half black/ half white, for example one parent is 3/4 black+1/4 white and the other parent is 100% black, the child is biracial. Maybe u r taking the word biracial the same way some people understand the word bisexual, as someone who is half heterosexual half homosexual, someone who is equally sexually attracted to people of both sexes. Bisexual can mean someone who is mostly heterosexual part homosexual (or viceversa) not necesarilly 50/50. look at this book: Prince: Singer-Songwriter, Musician, and Record Producer (Transcending Race in America: Biographies of Biracial Achievers) (Paperback) ~ David Robson The publishers don't mean Prince has one black parent and one white parent, just that he has both races in him, they do not mean that he's 50/50. Prince himself said in interviews in the early 80s he was part white, also his mother said Prince has 3 races in him, black, white and amerindian. Both Prince's parents are part white (i don't mean half anything). Prince's mother said Prince has italian/white on his father's side and that she has white and amerindian in her. Also to be considered African-American or to (label) identify yourself as such, you don't need to be 100% black, some people with one black parent + one white parent call themselves African-American. http://www.newyorker.com/...-scen.html We were having a larger conversation about his belief system and his politics. He told me he didn’t have a horse in the November election and that he didn’t believe in getting involved with these kind of earthly contests. I had asked him if the fact that Obama was black didn’t compel him to get involved. He said, “Why?” And I said, Well, because you’re black. And he said “Am I?” and held up his wrist next to my ruddy one. Indeed his skin was lighter, and he cracked up. OldFriends4Sale said: Reel said: Although Prince is African American (no he is not bi-racial as the movie Purple Rain would lead you to believe), he seems to have an aversion to dating African American women. He seems to like to surround himself with women from mix racial backgrounds, or latin backgrounds. So with that being said, I'd choose someone like Ceasar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) for Prince because Prince is not a straight man, no matter how many attractive women he surrounds himself with or marries. The man likes men. He's still a musical genius though! I chose Ceasar Millan because he is one HOT Latino!
your post is all screwed up lol he might not be biracial, but he is multiracial, and for him to date women who are is no big deal That skin tone did not come from Africa And Prince isn't into men, like he told Bill in PR "get off that" [Edited 5/26/10 17:23pm] | |

Prince is a black man aka African American ...sheesh. If we want to be technical, if we did some mitocondrial DNA testing, I'm sure many of us would be suprised of the races that our roots can be traced back to. Now enough of this "tri-racial" nonsense and trip that Prince is taking folks on. Although I'm your biggest fan...I'm also your biggest critic. Can you deal with that? | |

Once again Gonzalo, you should do some research on African/Black Americans in the U.S. American Blacks are a "multiracial" group, but are defined largely as African/Black Americans. You can't expect us each one of us, according to the lightness/darkness of our skin tones, to go around defining ourselves in percentages or part this/part that, and although many of us share a similar history, many of us come from various cultural groups. It's nothing new that blacks tease one another from time to time and compare complexions to one another, and ask the same thing Prince was asked, when referred to as "Black" and say "Am I?" Doesn't mean they are denying they are American Blacks. American Blacks or some prefer to be called African-Americans, have the most diverse DNA out of any other group, and we come in all shades from very light to dark. Go speak to your scholars/physicians/scientists and other educators about that. Now I would love to give you a lesson in American history and explain why so many Black Americans appear in America in various complexions, but then it would take the thread off topic. You could research American history about 400 years ago though.
But one thing I don't understand is why some folks get in a tizzy by Prince being defined as a Black man. The lightness of his skin isn't going to make him any more human or better than his darker brethren or move him 10 steps above the human species. Prince's own biological sister defined her family as such when she gave radio interviews in the past. Are you going to dismiss how she defines the race/ethnicity of her own family? Being defined as "Black" or "African-American is not a crime, I repeat it is not a crime. Besides, no one gets points on the superiority ladder or will grow a pair of golden wings, based on the lightness or darkness of their skin tones. No superior individuals exist from the human species. That's a fact, so don't fall for that type of BS. It's a fallacy. Would you like him any less by him referring to himself as Black or African-American or if his skin was 5 shades darker? I'm sure questions about his race/ethnicity wouldn't even be discussed if his skin tone was 5 shades darker. He's from the same human species as everyone else, and his skin tone does not define his character, who he is an individual or his ability to be the musician that he is, and I believe with his 30 plus-year music career, he has already proved that to us. Some folks need to remember that. [Edited 5/27/10 13:16pm] | |

As of 2010 most african american people who live in america are 75-80percent triracial or multiracial. What alot of people should not do is look at a person's outward appearances,skintone,hairtexture,and make judgements about who is who.There are many many dark skinned blacks with very light skinned ancesters and relatives.Most blacks in america as well as in other countries are not 100 percent african. | |

Now, he's giving damned interviews being crytic about his race and when the interviewer says that "he's black" Prince replys "Am I"? while holding up his light complexioned wrist to the non black interviewer. Prince does and dates what and who's "convenient" for him at the time. Bingo. Exactly what I was referring to. All throughout the mid-late 90s he was suddenly a "Black man, yeah, right on," but all before his "slavery" (70s-early 90s), and since he became 100% "free" (2000s-present), his race/culture is intentionally ambiguous. He's not consistent with us, or himself. So when people ask me: "Is Prince Black or what?" I'm always like, "Man, I don't know."  ....
