Lance Bass Blasts Chris Brown For Alleged Use Of Slur
From Hip-Hop Blog:
Former N*Sync member Lance Bass takes exception to Chris Brown tossing around “F-bombs.” Breezy is accused of calling bisexual singer Frank Ocean a “f*ggot” during their brawl in late January, and Bass says he should know better.
“Calling people fa**ot and that stuff, I mean, he may not even mean what he means, but it’s a derogatory term that people throw out there and without even knowing why they are saying it,” Bass told Celebuzz. “But when it comes to Frank Ocean and knowing that he’s … very out … it was definitely meant to hurt him. It’s never good to throw those words out there that mean so much.”
“[Brown] should understand that being a black man himself. He should know that the F word is just like calling you the N word in a very derogatory way,” Bass said. “When you come from a minority like that, being gay or black or whatever, it’s like there should be an understanding, like we all get each other. But you don’t see that a lot, which is really sad.”

I’m singing in [‘Twist of Faith’] but that’s about it for me… I’ll have do shows here and there, but I’m not going to do any albums… I’m falling out of love with it, it’s weird. I don’t know what to say when I hear songs, they don’t impact me.
