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

@staceyNYCDC@realdawnsummers it was part of a conversation with@VanJones68. you should watch to get the context -
@jaketapper@staceyNYCDC@VanJones68 I watched everything "I don't think of him as black... but black people were important to him, right?" -
@jaketapper the context doesnt make the comment better, if anything it makes it worse. Black people WERE important to him, because he was... - View other replies

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

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

@realdawnsummers@jaketapper Music so good, you forget you're a racist! -
@TheNewsHawk@realdawnsummers i dont appreciate how my comment -- which was about Prince's commitment to Af-Am community -- is being twisted - View other replies

@jaketapper@realdawnsummers Comment was clumsy. Prince was black as hell. People don't transcend their race. People transcend prejudice. -
"People don't transcend their race. People transcend prejudice."
@TheNewsHawk PREACH!!!!

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

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

Only white people and Stacy Dash think not seeing blackness is desirable, let alone achievable.

Wouldn't it be great if they said his music is so dope it transcended race & universally loved?
@Kimberly124@realdawnsummers@jaketapper -
I'm not sure what transcendence means in this context, tho. He was a black ass black man. Fin
@chellegaylor24@realdawnsummers@jaketapper -
No one would ever say some ish like "Beethoven transcends race." So...
@chellegaylor24@realdawnsummers@jaketapper -
True it goes without saying with legends but he was definitely unapologetically black.
