I thought He had Flipped&also needed to watch "ROOTS" to truly understand what Our People went through.Yes The Entertainment Business is a Modern Day Plantation but Prince made a Great Amount of Money with it&Should have never done that.I've always said that if Cats like Sammy Davis Jr,Little Richard,James Brown,Bo Didley,Chuck Berry,Jackie Wilson,etc.. had have done it I could understand,but Prince got one of the Great Creative Deals Ever&He was treated like His Name for the most part by Warner Brothers.He also had a Make-Up Artist persoanlly put it on His Face&that truly added Insult to Injury when you know the History of this Country.it served no purpose but to showcase Another Spoiled Rich Brat who did what He was allowed to do without having to answer for it.I understood where He was Coming from what He said about His battles,but He went about things truly the wrong way IMHO

The 'slave' days were a fantastic &
productive time for new Prince music.
But I totally agree with mistermaxxx
about his decision to write slave on
his face.
