I just want to know the truth, as I've heard conflicting info regarding Prince's racial background. Is he half black, half white, or is there Philipino or Italian somewhere in the mix?

::disgruntled, heavy sigh::...iiit's that time again.

Does anyone really know the truth when it comes to Prince?

Now, come on. Vampirella only joined last month. She wasn't here the last time this came up. If you don't like the look of a thread, don't click on it. This isn't an 'old boys' club. We should be welcoming the new blood and helping them with their queries.

Hello Vampirella. Welcome to the org. I don't have fucking clue what the answer is but I did hear an interview with him once when he mumbled something about his Dad being half-Italian. However, he didn't sound very sincere.

rdhull said:

that right!...the question that we all really wanna no is if hes GAY or not.

Since we're talking. Did Prince remove 2 ribs?

Spookymuffin said:

did he really do that???

wildblueangel said:

did he do a song with Christina Aguilera?

rdhull said:

is that the guy that wrote purple rain?

Prince is as black as a jungle at 2am.

VAMPIRELLA said:

sorry Vamp, obviously we have jacked your thread. to be honest, no one knows other than obviously he is African-American. whether he has any other ethnicity in him, i don't know and i really don't think anyone else knows other than Prince, his wife and the deep blue sea.

prince is black, point blank.


stupid question

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Actually, I think it's a fair enough question. As stated elsewhere in this thread it's 'not quite known'. Until anybody can come up with a good answer then the question will be asked again and again. Oh yeah of course he's black but that isn't the end of it!

sabaisabai said:

yes it is...and it is quite known..please stop.

rdhull said:

Great! So what's the answer smarty?

sabaisabai said:

he's black! where the fuck u been?!

rdhull said:

Oh good lawd, of course he's black. And I'm caucasian. Doesn't tell you much though does it? I've got plenty of English, Irish and German in me. How about Prince?

and dont be callin me smarty!

sabaisabai said:

You want a fuckin genogram on him? stop looking for shit! He's black okay.

sabaisabai said:

So what, you're wanting to know what tribe is African ancestors are from?

LittlePill said:

Exactly.. what is the title of this topic? Huh?
Is there a problem with trying to find out facts? Racist I must be!

sabaisabai said:

what the hell are u talking about ?

sabaisabai said:

Race is still a very big issue here in America. We've come a long way but still have a long way to go. The fact is if you're wanting to know his tribal ancestry, you're never going to find it. Because the white slave traders were as careful to write down all the original names and geneological information for the people they kidnapped and enslaved as the Nazis were to carefully catalog the names and identities as all of the Jews that they sent to the gas chamber. It's the saddest part of America's history.

rdhull said:

I'm trying to say that this topic is about his ethnicity. Blackness isn't really very precise. Where'd the parents of his parents come from etc? There isn't such a thing as a pure black American, so what's Prince's make-up? If you have a problem with such curiosity then please explain it.

sabaisabai said:

D u ask people what they are? if so, and they actually answer such as..lets say they say "Im black"..do u then proceed to go further "well yes I know youre black but what about yourn ancestry..who is your gramma, who was hers, what island you orignate from, who fucked another race 200 years ago"? Good lord!

2 the bloody BIG fucking BANG?

this is getting hilarius

rdhull said:

Of course, if the context of the conversation is somebody's background (which I think you'll find this thread is about) So rdhull, do you know about your grandparents? Where are they from? You don't know? Not to worry!
Who is the racist - the person who asks things objectively or the person who pussy-foots around? Oh, if somebody's caucasian it's fine to ask you about your heritage, but if somebody's black, shit, that's pretty touchy, better not ask about their past!
