That's some new news to me...

Don't ever take this shit personal(even though i do sometimes ), be yourself and you'll find the ones who should be your friends anyway.

oh, don't worry, I don't take any of that stuff personal

He's a GoldNigga!
I'm black. We know the real deal. Ain't nobody foolin' us.
Ain't nobody "tryna" pass.

Moms Mabley had a joke about a Negro man at the bus station. He dropped a coin in one of these fortune tellin' machines. The card came out and it read: You're a negro. You're weight is 155 lbs.; you're on your way to New York.
He said, I'll be dog gone, and couldn't believe it. How did that thing know that about him? So he was gonna try to trick it. He saw this Indian and asked to borrow his head dress and blanket. He put it on. Pulled the head dress way down; wrapped the blanket all over his face till only his eyes were peaking out. Stepped up on the machine. Dropped his coin in; the card came out:
You're STILL a Negro. Your weight is 155 lbs. You WAS on your way to New York, but you fooled around with that damn Indian and missed your bus.

Looks like someone just wanted to claim him 'Filipino', but ERRR...wrong!

Nothing no where ever against or near anyone, and no one at all, but you never hear nor see that sort of information no where nor anywhere but there...

Hmmm...thats interesting. My uncle and cousin always told me this, but I always just thought they were teaseing me...lol
Filipino blood runs within my family (me being a 4th filipino, my father half)...anyways, my gradfather whom came from the Philipines belonged to a filipino organization here in DC.
(this was many years ago when i was a kid)...my cousin and uncle always told me that prince was part filipino...but I never believed them, just passed it off as another teaser my family did on me.

Interesting though, got me wondering...hehe

but don't think so...

If he is...does that mean he has a teeny-weeny...

rainbowchild said:

So what ya sayin yo?

Sorry, I wish that we (Filipinos) could lay some claim but nope. Prince is a Black Man. Whoever put that on the Filipino site was misinformed. Gotta tell the truth.

Pluv, you're in DC? Cool. Me too.
Kumusta.

He's Black...

Also for the record he is part Italian as well!! There is not a trace of Philipino in him!! U can tell by his facial features that hes not 100% African/American!!

Where do people get all this weird and wacky information from???

Gold319 said:

That would go for a LOT of Black people (it's a long story, lol), but they're STILL Black...

Gold319 said:

Prince's parents have never claimed to be anything other than Black. When Prince was bullshitting the press in the late 70s he said he was part Italian for reasons I won't get into (OR either he told his publicist to perpetuate it). It's his fault, but this myth must die.

Prince is black. People get so confused on what "black" is suppose to look like. He looks like a high yella black boy to me.

I could care less what Prince is, I still feel the same way about him, but he did say he was part Italian and I read somewhere along the line in some information about him long ago, that either one or both of his grandparents were Italian and that his mother had some white in her, have you ever seen a picture of her? Have you ever seen a picture of Tyka? Have you ever seen a picture of Prince? He couldnot possibly be 100% black, he denied it himself. But so what? are you prejudiced against him because he isnot 100% black?

If anybody on this site cares about what nationality is in Prince's inheritance, you need to improve yourself!

Lovebird seems a little naive regarding US history over the last few hundred years. "100% black" is a slight giveaway.

Muhammed Ali it was recently revealed had an Irish Great Grandfather, cue celebrations in Ireland. Seems in a little bad taste given the circumstances of the genetic splicing of such times. Same goes for the British claiming Bob Marley due to his father... walking on very shaky ground when you try to break down the family tree too hard.
