Both parents are from Louisiana.

Creole, anyone? Exactly.

Although George Lopez tried to convince P that he's Latino. It's a very funny moment of video. Lol

Sadly the mentality of division seems to be a very human tendency. And that applies to almost every little detail of life: race, country, gender, age, class. Sometimes it is divisions between competiting businesses, but then, in the same business you can also see divisions within. The first floor people sometimes hate those on the 2nd floor and so on, it just never ends. Even on the org I have observed some old vs new orgers division.

Interestingly, you often find people tend to quickly forget some divisions when they rally in order to fight in the name of a newly formed division. This tendency for humans to divide themselves has messed up the whole world in fact. It seems that recognising differences often leads to creating more division/hatred. It probably comes from school, I think the first thing children learn is "sorting" things by shapes and colours. I might be oversimplifying it, but I believe there is some truth in that.

And of course when someone like Prince seems to include many of these differences, physically, musically, culturally and even politically, people are confused because they still really want to seperate him and stick him within a category but they can't. He has shown people that he could be anything he wanted and people felt uncomfortable. At the end of the day, he was just human like the rest of us. At least I think he was (did someone say alien? lol ).

I agree, in every avenue of life. In every crack and crevice of life.

If we take his example of breaking out of every box while understanding why people create boxes to restrict us so we don't do the same to others, our world would be so far beyond where we are now.

I couldn't agree more.

awwwwww shit. put this on hold for a minute so I can pop some popcorn!

All joking aside, I did notice that a number of articles referred to him this way. What's funny is that, Obama, who literally is bi-racial by virtue of having a black father/white mother is referred to as black and only black, whereas Prince is somehow bi-racial. Odd how that works. I'm actually laughing as I type this because it's just so funny at this point.
