MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it.”

I read that as a No. I love how he tries to make it seem as if he is controlling that with a magical “No black ladies” shield, instead of it being because black women may look at him and think he’s an average-looking white dork who wears stupid T-shirts.

this post is the most.

i just disrupted the peace laughing a storm in the library.

what an astute and eloquent angle.

As a friend of mine and I discussed this, we both expressed confusion: usually men blame their “other head” for the bad decisions. There’s this idea espoused and accepted by a lot of men that their penis will be attracted to any vagina, though they may not be attraced to the vagina’s owner. Meanwhile, Mayer’s telling us the exact opposite. 0_o.

Plain and simple, John Mayer was trying to get some attention and he got it — just way more than he expected or could handle.

Idk when we’re going to stop handing out “hood passes” to people. They give ‘em right back, everytime.

In regards to the way John used it, it wasn’t appropriate at all. It was his failed attempt to be witty and “too cool for school”. When he does this, he comes across like a douche/cocky. It’s his thing though. Everyone has their thing… that’s his. Usually, it IS really funny. The guy, believe it or not, is ridiculously smart. Again, you have to know his background and actually follow more than just an interview in Playboy. But he uses his smarts and wit to entertain…to be silly and to come across more real. Honestly, the guy says a LOT in interviews that he probably shouldn’t, but it’s refreshing to me only because most celebs do interviews and don’t say a darn thing! They plug their movie/show/project and keep it moving. We don’t know them at all and in a way, it’s kinda lame. I think that’s why so many people love following celebs on Twitter…they finally get the real scoop from the celebs and find out what they’re really about. Mayer has ALWAYS talked about his life. There’s really no secrets with him.

In short, I don’t think the guy is racist at all. And as far as the comments about his David Duke penis, people are reading WAY too into those comments. Everyone is completely ignoring that he says he has a “Benetton heart” and “maybe I should start dating separately from my dick”. The guy just hasn’t entertained the thought of dating outside his race. Let’s be real, I’m sure there are MANY people out there that have never entertained the thought of doing that either. Did Mayer use an extreme way to say that? YES. Totally ridiculous. Does that mean he won’t ever date a Black woman or is completely against it? Heck no! He said right in that paragraph that he hadn’t thought about it, but maybe he should. Seriously, let’s really read the text and not pick bits and pieces, that’s all I’m saying.

Also BNT works for me, as a bonus I get to pull the rug on them just as they are getting comfy and thinking “HMMMM you are TOO cool for school”

2. Never liked him or his music (lame and boring… might be better if it was auto-tuned…NOT)

3. Familiarity breeds contempt so wouldn’t be interesting if videos (baked beans included) started appearing on the Internet that provide a contrary view of his statements
