        @realdawnsummers What does this even mean? If he thought of Prince as black, which he was, proudly, he couldn't enjoy the music? Ugh

        @realdawnsummers my point was more about the pop culture era of the 1980s to a 15 year old white kid.

        @jaketapper lol and the record scratching shock of my reaction is as a 1980s little black kid. Whitney,Michael, Prince. Black. Black. Black.

        @jaketapper @realdawnsummers Comment was clumsy. Prince was black as hell. People don't transcend their race. People transcend prejudice.

        @JuliusGoat but then, i think racism is heinous and serious, not just a way to glibly score points on social media

        @realdawnsummers @jaketapper tbh I don't think I've ever seen "post-racial" used seriously by anyone but white people

        @orrionn @realdawnsummers that's fair, I meant "transcendent" and was referring to my view at age 15
