John Mayer Doesn't Do Black Women

JOHN MAYER caused a whole stir on Twitter today because of an interview (click here) he did with Playboy.com. In it, he said some pretty racist things about how he's accepted by the Black community and yet he isn't attracted to Black chicks.

"...if you really had a hood pass, 
you could call it a nigger pass."

He apologized on his twitter page for saying nigger and said he'll never use it again. Yes. He's an idiot for saying what he said but :

1. It's a Playboy interview: they're always candid and edgy
2. Why are people still apologizing for "using the 'n' word" and claiming they'll never use it again? 
3. If a celebrity has an opinion about something and it's not favorable so what? All I'm concerned with is his guitar playing.
4. Black women aren't checking for you anyway John Mayer! 
5. McDonald's ads do a lot more harm to the Black community than this guy.

Anyway, I wasn't offended by the interview. A lot of people don't date interacially.  Just because he voiced it in a vulgar way, doesn't mean he's a racist. A dummy, yes. A bigot, I dunno... I'll see how good Heartbreak Warfare is before I decide.

  1. He had a lot more to lose by not apologizing because he's in the public eye. If it was Joe Schmo, then well, ... you get the picture.

  2. I agree. but really i think this whole issue and apology thing is so played. celebs just do it because they have to.
