Prince spoke openly about the issues that Black entertainers go through.

According to Guardian UK:

“Prince has spoken out about racism in the entertainment industry, claiming that black people aren’t given a “second chance” in film and music.

During a Mojo interview with the singer at a Caribbean island hideaway, Prince criticized the music business, explaining,’It’s box office. I can’t have something like The Great Gatsby on my hands. Didn’t you know that black people don’t get a second chance?’

‘It’s like Chris Rock said: Leonardo DiCaprio can make one bad movie after another, and he just keeps going. Chris Rock makes a bad movie, and he doesn’t work again. Black people aren’t allowed to make mistakes.’”

Do you think Prince has a point? Let us know in the comments below.
