he's got a pointstill shoulda just said n-word passbut the fact that peeps are angry just proves his point
2/15/2010 1:26:03 PM
^i understand what you're saying and he would have a point except the problem is both using the n-word and associating hood with black. Eminem certainly has a hood pass but could't use the n word and certainly couldn't say something like. I have a "black people" pass either.

Maybe he can just change "your body is a wonderland" to "your body is a melon stand" and he'll be back on their good side.Nah, thats mean.

I think a lot of women were offended by that interview. At least in the discussions I read. They also found it bizarre and creepy.
2/15/2010 2:33:06 PM
why does anyone give a shit about John Mayer[Edited on February 15, 2010 at 2:35 PM. Reason : or his bad music]

i use to like him a lot like 5-6 years ago, and went to all his shows, but now he seems so full of himself
2/15/2010 2:54:57 PM
At one point, he said, "That's why black people love me!" I assume that's a joke since nobody could possibly say that seriously. He also admitted he wasn't attracted to black women by invoking the notion of a David Duke cock. Flippant David Duke references may be over the top, but there's nothing wrong with admitting you've been socialized to sexually prefer one race over another. And he used the n-word in a candid discussion about the ridiculous idea of having a hood/ghetto pass.It's just not that offensive.Holly Robinson Peete gave an interview to People about it, and it is ridiculous:http://perezhilton.com/2010-02-13-holly-robinson-peete-says-john-mayer-needs-to-drop-the-frat-boy-actAll he did was say he didn't find black women attractive but listed her as an exception, and she's going on and on about how he is denigrating black women and how disgusting and offensive his remarks were. Has she been living under a rock? It's like she's been so delightfully light-skinned her whole life she never noticed that most people (including some black people) don't think her black female peers are attractive. The problem does not end or begin with fucking John Mayer. Seriously, HRP has worn her hair naturally in public maybe like twice in her entire life, and she's simultaneously trying to act all outraged and confused by Mayer's "frat boy" point of view. And I love all the official groups coming out to voice their disdain. Yeah, your measured, eloquent responses really show how wildly offended and pissed off you are...[Edited on February 15, 2010 at 3:11 PM. Reason : I need to get a life.]

2/15/2010 4:34:43 PM
so you don't think she listed those things because they and the advertisements for those things tend to include people who are attractive? And since dark-skinned women aren't often included, they must not be considered as attractive?I could see how she would consider that a "poll." But if that's not what she meant, where/what is this "poll" she speaks of?And yes, not finding someone attractive does not make you a racist.
2/15/2010 4:52:04 PM
John Mayer's problem is that he thinks he's this really smart, witty, renaissance man. In reality, he is a dude who happens to have a very good understanding of music theory and a douche-bag condescending attitude. Nobody I know gives a shit about what he has to say as a person. Some people think their influence transcend their talents. They are usually wrong.
2/15/2010 5:03:39 PM
^^ OK, maybe she did imply what you inferred.However, this is all what I care about:
2/15/2010 5:22:10 PM
What a pussy, immediately apologizing and crying. It irritates me how all these white celebrities misstep once and make a racial slur then have to prostrate themselves in public. Mayer should have defending his statement and not bowed down to media pressure.Mayer is a bitch anyhow. He thought he was a baddass until he crossed the black racial boundary, the only one that seems to matter to media.

anyone know where i can find the playboy interview? other than in playboy. i let that perscription lapse

it's on playboy's website, no login needed.

his words towards women weren't completely racist but it definitely is reason for black people to stop liking him. He said "I never opened myself up to black women" which was pretty racist. Anyone who only considers being attracted to their own race is racist. Its a different type of racism but its still racism. His comment in op definitely was racist and theres no way you can deny that. I mean, he used the n word in a context that would have been racist even without it.
2/15/2010 9:25:54 PM
i don't think any real people care about Mayer's comments. I'm pretty sure black people in general don't care. It seems to only be the media, and their self-fulfilling narrative.

^^^No, it was not racist.There's nothing racist about talking about how ridiculous the notion of a ghetto/hood pass is.[Edited on February 15, 2010 at 9:47 PM. Reason : sss]
2/15/2010 9:46:56 PM
but he associated a ghetto/hood pass with black people and not only did he do that, he did it with the n word
2/15/2010 9:49:43 PM
^He didn't make up the word "ghetto pass" or "hood pass." The interviewer asked him about it. He's heard it from other people. What was he supposed to do? Should he have pretended he had no idea what they were talking about and couldn't possibly glean that by hood/ghetto pass, they're talking about something to do with black people?Do you even know what a hood pass is?
2/15/2010 9:54:47 PM
