This lovely Prince mural has gone up in Dublin

Purple wall, purple waaaall.

IT’S BEEN JUST over a week since we lost music legend Prince.

With news today that his secret vaults may include ‘enough music to release a new album every year for the next century’, he’s not quite leaving us yet.

While Ireland has been dancing and paying tribute to the musician in various ways, a brilliant mural has gone up on a Dublin wall and will stay for the next few weeks

It’s seriously good

The artist is Donal Thornton of Practice and Theory, and it’s proving very popular with Dubliners.

The Sugar Club itself is screening Prince’s Sign O The Times concert movie next Saturday the 11th, and it’s one not to be missed.

    He brings up the black media but they have as much interest in the black women who were allegedly assaulted.

    So he thinks black media treats him nicer than general media…

    Is he implying that general media treats him negatively because he’s black? As in he considers this a race issue?

    I’d be more inclined to say that black media is reluctant to call him a rapist, because it itself is racist in favour of blacks.

    Regardless, it’s a smart move for him to say that, the pragressives won’t know what to do. Continue calling him a rapist out of fear of being labeled a rape apologist by their peers or stop slamming him out of fear of being called a racist.

    But wouldn’t the black media actually be reluctant to call him a rapist, in case they were accused of simply calling him a rapist to avoid being accused of racism because they refused to call him a rapist because he’s black?

    YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN????

    Was it the same “black media” which upheld the standards when OJ was on trial for murder?

    Alas Mark he actually cannot be tried as the Statute of Limitations saves him from a Trial. All that can be done is a civil case, which will never say he actually committed the crime, it will just say on the balance of probabilities that he may have and is thus liable financially, but will not be convicted or see any jail time.

    I think that’s his indirect way of looking to the “Black media” for backup. Kinda makes you feel like he’s bracing himself.
