13289520, Saw a bothersome (to me) post regarding Black people and Kanye
Posted by Tw3nty, Tue Oct-02-18 11:47 AM
The post stated that
"Black people will finally cancel Kanye if he went and got a boyfriend".

I know there is homophobia in our community but
that being the straw that breaks the camel's back as far as he goes seems like a reach.
I don't see our views being monolithic regarding homophobia.
I been searching for an example of black people standing against a celebrity who came out of the closet.
Frank Ocean seems to be the obvious example but it seemed like the community had more of a "oh that makes sense" reaction rather than "I'm not listening to his music anymore" reaction, although people did have that reaction.

Thoughts?
