John Mayer cries while apologizing for racist comments.

John Mayer is such a talented musician and down to earth artist. It is schocking to read what he had to say in a tell all interview with Playboy. Here is what he had to say response to black women and relating them to his sex life:

PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?


MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick.

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.’”

The poor dude should probably stop to think before allowing the words "nigger card" slip out his mouth. And If I were him, I don't think I would have admitted, "My dick is sort of like a white supremacist." I'm absolutely appalled by his comments. He has insinuated that only "niggers" or blacks can have a "hood pass," and because he is not black, or not a "nigger/nigga" in this case, and he has not been discrimnated against because of his race, he doesn't possess a "hood pass." What a shame.


On February 10, 2010, in Nashville, Tennesee, Mayer apologized while performing on stage and began to cry about "his attempts to be clever."


I'm still attempting to determine how having a white supremacist dick is clever. It's just stupid.

Yea that was not a smart move on his part. & he's such an amazing singer, I'm a personal fan. He should have definitely thought before he spoke.

Agreed, very thoughtless of him. I'm actually seeing J-May live in concert at MSG later this month. Let's hope there's less talking and more music!

I have to say that everytime I read those statements, it makes me more than a little uncomfortable. But since I'm partaking in lent (I simply think it's a great idea no matter the christian sect) I'm giving up anger...so...perhaps I will let it go.
