By the same logic, when did it become wrong to wear skinny jeans? Or express your emotions? Or reveal your your true sexual orientation?

My point is that he doesn't have to respond to it. I mean, aside from the fact that Pimp My Ride isn't hitting anymore and I'm sure he has a lot of free time to do so, I'm sure he gets a lot of comments and questions that he doesn't address. An honest response to me wouldn't be a childish "pause" that just seems like a cheap shot. That's just my opinion.How is it not an honest response? I mean, he "said" it, right? All I can do is take his tweet as his thoughts on the issue--nothing more and nothing less.
And you're right, he didn't have to respond. But he was asked a question and he decided to respond, which is well within his rights to do so. People don't like his answer and I'm sure now he's being called a homophobe, bigot, etc. What would you suggest? Should he just not respond? Should he lie about it just to appease the folks who won't like his opinion?
This is the problem I have with this. You say he doesn't have to respond. But why is he in the wrong if he does? He was asked a question and usually when that happens, you answer it. The ONLY reason to say that "he doesn't have to respond if he doesn't want to" is because you disagree with his stance/response. And that's a problem to me--suggesting that someone be quiet because the end result rubs you the wrong way.
I think this is exactly what dude meant by our society completely emasculating. Dudes are gonna be rocking skirts pretty soon. And people are gonna be like WHAT JUST BECAUSE HE'S A GUY MEANS HE CAN'T WEAR A SKIRT? LET HIM BE WHO HE IS.
When did it become illegal to voice your opinion? Why does he have to support Frank? Dudes are getting their testicles clipped and dont even see it. They want this from our culture we went from NWA and Tupac trying to tear down the the establishment to dudes just rolling over for anything, and its happening in steps right before our eyes
Drake(super soft)»Frank Ocean("bisexual")»____(openly *****exual rapper)»____(transgender rapper) they want you to think this **** is ok why do you think skinny jeans got a push they're emasculating urban youth and dudes are falling for it.
First and foremost LOL Xhibit acting like hes not totally washed up and more than likely Frank Ocean wouldn't work with him. I dont think his response was out of line either but its going to start something bigger than him.
On the developing subject that's going on in here, I have no problem with the influx of people rising up to support Frank Ocean coming out. It shouldn't be a big deal that he's gay, but in todays society it is so this is whats going to happen when a person of notoriety does it.
The reason I dont mind it is because I remember the 1st time I ever truly experienced racism. I remember how much it bothered me and how my mom just told me "The next time you want to go around judging someone because of something they cant change just remember that people do it to you all the time cause you're black". IDK if anyone thinks that *****exuality and modern day racism are equal but in a lot of ways I do, so I cant in good conscience be mad that people are supporting him cause I'd want the same courtesy if it came down to it. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if this was the mindset that a lot of the people backing him have as well. People who are much older than I am who felt racism more than I have.
Wouldnt be surprised if people flipped it on Xhibit and started saying stuff like "Oh but you think being discriminated against because youre black isnt ok" I mean cause thats what this is; Him refusing to work with FO because of his sexual orientation. Hes entitled to his opinion, I just think he should know better for reasons stated above.
I dont listen to Frank Oceans music, never have and probably never will. Heard like 3 songs off Nostalgia Ultra, wasnt feeling it, and hes lost me forever most likely.
"Pause" is a diss now?
You guys do realize bi-sexual black men are the #1 source of HIV/AIDS, right? Disgusting lifestyle is nothing to celebrate. Coming out of the closet is noble, but how many chicks did he endanger before doing so? That's the issue.

Article you cited didn't tell me anything new. Down low black men acting irresponsible and endangering the lives of others to protect their "masculinity". Think Ocean told that girl he met at Coachella he gets it crackin with dudes? Come on now.Stop.
HIV/AIDS is not inherently linked to *****exuality. Being irresponsible about your own health and promiscuity is a more likely link. It's 2012. What you are insinuating has been debunked for over twenty years. While bisexual black men may be the highest carriers of the HIV disease now, that does NOT mean it's due to them being bisexual.
Here's a recent article discussing why the stigma of HIV is more responsible for the widespread nature of the disease in the black community.

Easy for us to say, the real victims are the (usually) black women conned by these clowns. Not a laughing matter.so dont have sex with one?
