My name is Lindani Mazibuko from South Africa and I am a 22-year-old gay black man. I am in utter shock and disgust at the level of implicit and explicit homophobia that clearly is ripe in the "African" American community. It saddens me to find out that a first-world country like America has such hate for people like myself for no reason at all. You are completely allowed to not like Frank Oceans album, however you're not entitled to make any person judgements on the man. When n overwhelming majority of proffessional musical critics praise Channel Orange and you cone into a black-oriented blog and you find such vitriol and hate for this artist, it doesn't take much effort to discern where the true source of this dislike comes from: the homophobia of black people in the so called "land of possibility". I am extremely saddened buy the fact that the very hate and violence I have endured for 20 years from my African brothers and sisters still awaits me in my African American brothers and sisters also. The hypocracy of your countrys democracy is what makes other nations dislike Americans so much.
