Ladies & Gents, introducing the Music World’s White Kanye West!
Just when you thought John Mayer couldn’t possibly become a bigger assclown, he opens his mouth and removes all doubt. Mayer is creating a stir on the blogosphere this Wednesday with a series of racially-insensitive remarks he made about African-Americans, “The Black Struggle,” “Nigger Passes” (Yes, he uses that word…), and his racist dick (His words, not mine….) in the March issue of Playboy.
There’s a thin line between being a carefree, nonchalant hipster — with opinions and certain dating preferences — and just being a damn moronic jackass… I think that John’s recent chat with the men’s mag proves that it’s a tightrope act at which he fails miserably…
MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, “What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?” And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, “I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’”
Everyone seems to be up in arms about the fact that Mayer isn’t attracted to women of color. I couldn’t care less about that part — you like what you like. I can see beauty in all kinds of people (I love that about myself…), but everyone is not wired that way. Not being attracted to every single thing on Earth doesn’t automatically warrant the dreaded “racist” label. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the sentiment he expressed. However, the wording is extremely disrespectful. I’m more bothered by this “Nigger Pass” business. Why is it that some of you people don’t seem to get that the “N-Word” is not one that you can use in leisurely conversation without raising eyebrows? The fact that some African-Americans do it is not an excuse! It’s just like hurling the “F-Word” at homosexuals or using the plethora of other vile, vicious words that were created to hurt other people. You should not be using that word!
Was his publicist asleep during this interview? How is any rep worth his/her salt allowing this prick in public without a muzzle? I hope Jessica Simpson releases a statement saying that he’s the worst sex she’s ever had….
PLAYBOY: It is true; a lot of rappers love you. You recorded with Common and Kanye West, played live with Jay-Z.
MAYER: What is being black? It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you’ll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude’s.
PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?
MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My di@k is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fu@kin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my di@k.
PLAYBOY: Let’s put some names out there. Let’s get specific.
MAYER: I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, “Yeah, I sucked his di@k. Whatever.” And you’d be like, “What? We weren’t talking about that.” That’s what “Heartbreak Warfare” is all about, when a girl uses jealousy as a tactic.
