Frank Ocean Makes ‘Out’ Power List 2013. Making him the "TOKEN BLACK" of the list!
After spending the last year being celebrated for the undeniable quality of his music, ‘We All Try’ singer Frank Ocean is now being celebrated for the bravery he showed last when baring all on a personal experience he had shared with a friend some time before.
While he is yet to label himself, he has now been named at an LGBTQ hero by Aaron Hicklin’s ‘Out Magazine’, standing as the only African American to make the publication’s 2013 Power List. THE ONLY AFRICAN AMERICAN...SERIOUSLY!?!
Also standing as the highest ranking musician on the list, OUT said of Ocean:
Beating record executive Clive Davis (42) and Bravo boss Andy Cohen (14), OUT’s celebration of the groundbreaking vocalist comes after he watched his debut album ‘Channel Orange’ certified Gold in the US, and after he watched his classic cut ‘Thinkin’ ‘Bout You‘ reach Platinum status for sales of over 1 million units.
Now OUT MAG what happen to Don Lemon, Shaun T, Lee Daniels and many other prominent and OUT African American men and women you all could have added instead ONLY ONE??? Now see if this was a case that an African American would have spoken homophobic statements. Our entire community would come into question and ever blog would carry it. But again only ONE. And some folks wonder why African American's do not feel comfortable within this community!
he won 2 grammys not 1 .. these people need to get the info right..lol
