That is the dumbest shit I ever heard. You should be ashamed of yourself, that in this catastrophy, all you can focus on what where is Prince and what HE should do. Get a life motherf**ker he don't owe you anything.

Focus your anger on those who let the people of Louisanna, Mississippi and Alabama down by not having supplies ready in advance of the hurricane. You don't know Prince personally, do not have access to his bank statements to know whether or not he donates and how much.

I work for a non-profit organization where we accept donations in the hundreds of thousands from philanthropists who specifically request to remain anonymous, because they don't want to be recognize for charity that they should be doing anyway. Some people just prefer to donate without their names being in lights.

Enough is enough with this retarded nonsense!!!!![/b]

If you could READ, you'd be a genius. I love how you purple kool-aid drinkers try to turn things around by taking them to the extreme x 2. Re-read the posts. "How dare he suggest that Prince get off his ass and do a benefit show" That bastard, BlaqueKnight!"
btw, nobody's angry here...except you with all the "!!!!!"

fuck the world

terryfrancis said:

why he gotta punish the poor folk? They didn't invade iraq?????

ABeautifulOne said:

I have never heard him do so. I'm not an authority on his work. I only know a couple of songs. Sorry if I offended a David Banner fan. My point still stands regardless to how you try to disect my post. I COMMEND David for stepping up to the plate.

BlaqueKnight said:

LoL. If you had a BRAIN to THINK, you would realize how retarded your posts are. Don't play the "turning words around" routine. I call it like it is. I READ all the posts, and my statement stays the same. If you want to judge an entertainer based on VISIBILITY and what charity concerts he/she does that's your business. I don't know how Prince or any celebrity contributes before, during, or after a disaster so its not my place to judge and just because they are not on stage, does not mean they are not doing anything worthwhile.

honestly, they ought to just send money. a concert is going to diddly-squat, except give some ego-maniacs more face time to sell their albums on the back of a catastrophe.

BlaqueKnight said:

I'm not a fan of him because his music sounds the same.

wonder505 said:

Wow. Thank you for assessing ALL my posts and coming to a conclusion about them. I guess there are lots of geniuses posting on Prince.org. What? Did Prince send all his little NPGMC drones over here to read this? Visibility is not a bad thing at times, especially when those times involve a national disaster in your own country.
I don't back down from what I said. It would be a good time to show visible support instead of being annonymous.

american media sux ass... very narrow scoped. luckily for the victims of the tsunami for example americans donated millions for the cause.

word! that concert is not going to get me to cut a check. it's already done, cuz it's the right thing to do.

maybe prince will just donate a song...

BlaqueKnight said:

HA! This is classic. So when all else fail with your point you bring NPGMC into it. HOW PATHETIC!!! I also won't back down from what I said. Good for those who participate in a concert only to raise money and not their image, AND good for those who contributed behind the scenes.

wonder505 said:

Nothing has failed with my point.
You have 10 posts on here and 4 of them are in protest of me. Check yourself.

stinka said:

yeah..only millions..yet they donated billions for 9/11..so much more then was actually needed..now do the math...how many died in tsunami? vs. 9/11?

stinka said:

the fact that your participating on this site speaks volumes...those charity events draw in the lil ole grandma watching her tv...just cause "you" arent motivated by something doesnt mean others arent..

come on folks...ya all know that..you just wanna disagree to disagree.

BlaqueKnight said:

The REAL question is where's BUSH, CHENEY, RICE, & THE REST OF THE NEOCONS FROM THE PAST WEEK?????

Smittyrock70 said:

they are scheduling they are putting in for their vacation time.

sosgemini said:

Then get Kenny Rogers on the TV. The little ol Grandma isn't going to react to Usher, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, and certainly not Prince.

You don't get a look like this from participating in icky relief efforts, I'll tell you that for free.
There's not much to add to this unshocking tale of shocking callousness and bad taste (and we're not talking about the Ferragamo pumps). From Gawker:

"According to Drudge, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has recently enjoyed a little Broadway entertainment. And Page Six reports that she’s also working on her backhand with Monica Seles. So the Gulf Coast has gone all Mad Max, women are being raped in the Superdome, and Rice is enjoying a brief vacation in New York. We wish we were surprised."

"What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman."

blaque i couldnt' agree with u more, u were dead on it!

yall'r right, prince DONT owe them nothing, and this aint his responsibility. but there are people who look up to him and other artists, people who might not have wanted to give. now i can almost garuntee that these same people, once they see someone they look up to helping, then they'll wanna help too. its that monkey see monkey do mentality. theres NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING VISIBLE. i swear some of you are acting like prince doing a benefit show is selling out, its not, get over it, yea he could do something privately and he probly is, but i know if I was down there, in hell, suffering and my fav. artist was visible in supporting us, that it would put a little smile on my face, bring a bit of sunshine to my afternoon

So, God punished the poorest -- and I don't know if you've been to New Orleans, but these really could be the POOREST -- of American society for a war started by and benefiting only the wealthy of American society? Even where gas prices are concerned, the rich are barely inconvenienced.

So, how does your alleged justice thesis hold up? Flesh it out for us, please. Because your post is putting forth an unjust argument.

Blaque,

You know you're not going to get any straight answers to your question - not, at least, from his staunchest supporters.

Thanks for asking it, though.

I hate to say this, but PRince is a JW, and this kind of disaster is a JW's wet dream, cuz it contributes to their "end of the world" theories...

having said that, I still hope he contributes something...money, preferably. doesn't have to be high profile, either. He can do it in secret. He helped Marva Collins's cause in secret for many years.

CreamyThighs said:

not true...and totally disrespectful of you to say.

If Prince is going to contribute, I would rather see him contribute privately or throw a benefit concert of his own rather than perform with a bunch of tired ass current performers. He still has his image to think of which has already been tarnished by performing with the likes of Beyonce.
