Folks get on my nerves thinkin' that multi-racial = more than. That best of both worlds shit is BULLSHIT. Red roses are as beautiful as pink and white swirled ones. Just different, that's ALL. Same with people.

Nobody is black... Maybe dark brown but not black... Prince's parents were from louisiana... and were creole french. Prince's dad was a mix of creole french, native american and filipino. Prince's mother was french creole. Mani is African american... lol... Not! She is mixed like Prince... rainbow

Dolphin (The Moorish Remix) by NPS

How whitewashed did the words have 2 be
Before they conquered every heart?
How far would you have let me go
If U knew I was black from the very start?

If I came back as a Negro
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off my kinky hair
But even with a perm, the 'fro' still grows in
And both of my parents are black
So don't be fooled by the light-skin

Why does a brother have 2 get money
And fame in order for you to return his call?
But even after then, if you're band is no longer white
They'll say you're Possessed and call it a "fall"

If I came back as a Negro
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off my kinky hair
But even with a perm, the 'fro' still grows in
And both of my parents are black
So don't be fooled by the light-skin

If I wasn't a rock star, would U embrace me--
An everyday Negro--would U face me?
It's happened before, I've knocked on your door
But U wouldn't let me in

How whitewashed did the words have 2 be
Before they conquered every heart? (Oh!)

If I came back as a Negro
Would U listen 2 me then?
Would U let me be your friend?
Would U let me in?
U can cut off my kinky hair
But even with a perm, the 'fro' still grows in
And both of my parents are black
So don't be fooled by the light-skin

Negro
As a Negro
As a Negro
As a Negro

Do you know what a black creole is? Hello? They're black unless one of their parents were actually French. Black creoles are just a bunch of high yellow black folks who kept marrying other high yellow black folks. All african-americans have mixed ancestry.

I'm not defending Prince not being black. I'm just saying I believe he has a few other things in his mix as well... That's not a bad thing or negative. Prince is not african that is forsure. But American and from the midwest who's parents came from a known racially mixed area. New Orleans... It's just my opinion Prince is mixed... Not to freak out the people who want him to be totally Black and that's it... batting eyes

Don't act like there haven't been race riots and police brutality against black and brown people in the U.K.

Please don't come with that "it's an American thing" when the British crown, the Portuguese, the French, and the Germans have the monopoly on colonial racism and in the case of Germany, the damn architect of the holocaust.
