Resolved:
John Mayer's comments about not having a "Hood Pass" because Hood Pass would mean "****** Pass." Was clearly him trying to explain that it dont matter how much black people like him at the end of the day he will never have an understanding of what it is to be black. So when he gets to say "? " without it being a problem thats when he truly has a pass.
As far as him having a David Duke ? and not liking black women....SO THE ? WHAT? Black women give the dagger eye to any black man with a white female. Yet they are ? he doesnt like them? When a black celebrity (Denzel) says he didnt want to do any scenes with white women in his movies at first out of respect for black women he was applauded for that. When a black man says "Oh I just love the sistas...if she cant use our comb dont bring her home" the black female AMEN chior is in full effect.
I usually call white people out on their ? blatant and otherwise. But this ? is just over sensitivity to me.
TELL ME WHY IM WRONG if you think I am :shrug:

John Mayer apologizes for Playboy interview

NEW YORK (AP) -- John Mayer is apologizing for his mouth.
The Grammy-winner took to his Twitter page to make amends for his latest inflammatory comments - this time, in the March edition of Playboy.
In it, he calls former girlfriend Jessica Simpson "sexual ? " and says Jennifer Aniston is a technophobe who wishes she could go back to her career prime in 1998. He also uses the N-word.
On Twitter Wednesday afternoon, he apologized for the racial epithet and said he has to stop "trying to be so raw in interviews."
"It started as an attempt to not let the waves of criticism get to me, but it's gotten out of hand and I've created somewhat of a monster," Mayer tweeted. "I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock ? . I don't have the stomach for it."
There were plenty who didn't have the stomach for his remarks in Playboy, in which he talked about Simpson's sexuality, his problems with Aniston, his love of porn, why he doesn't date black women and being beloved by the black community.
"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 ****** pass,'" he said, then added: "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.'"
Mayer said he should have never have used the N-word in any context and will never say it again.
"And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged," he said.
The racial comments were hardly the only explosive comments in the interview. He said he still loved Aniston, but then noting their age difference (she just turned 41), he said: "I can't change the fact that I need to be 32."
He also said she didn't appreciate new technology: "The brunt of her success came before TMZ and Twitter. I think she's still hoping it goes back to 1998. She saw my involvement in technology as courting distraction. And I always said, 'These are the new rules,'" he said.
Of Simpson, he talked about her sexual ability, and said: "That girl, for me, is a drug ... That girl is like ? ? to me."
In the interview, he also explained why he didn't date black women, comparing his ? to "a white supremacist."
Mayer - known for his loose tongue - has made a habit out of outlandish comments. Last month, he gave an interview with Rolling Stone where he talked openly about his love life, including sex with other women - and himself.

Yeah, I remember when you got e-lynched in the SL for saying "the n word". That was fun. Was totally worth letting the mob mentality overrode my sense of individual identity. -

LOL!
Well I guess I'm alone in this then. I'm moe about context than actual word usage. I agree with what George Carlin said about the word.
Im not one of those who think some ? who has "black friends" so he can say it is cool. But when you're saying it just to make a point about black people I think its stupid...but not racist. I seem to be the only person who thinks that ? though. Black people tearing his white ass up LOLOL -
Carlin's bit on nig ger was hilarious. He said "We don't mind when Eddie Murphy says it. Because he's a nig ger!"
-
i agree with threadstarter on this one.

You coonin.
but black people don't like this ? , the only reason he has an inclination that we do is because ? recognize him from the Chappelle Show.
That said he was right about the hood pass ? , nobody black would have tripped if he had said that exact same statement but minus the ? part. He just couldn't help his white urge to use ? when he thought he could get away with it. -

Give me a black goddess sister I can't resist her. No stringy haired, blonde
hair, blue eyed, pale skinned buttermilk complexion. Grafted, recessive,
depressive, ironing board backside straight up and straight down. No
frills, no thrills, Miss six o'clock, subject to have the itch, mutanoid,
caucazoid, white cave ? ...
[Verse One: Ice Cube]
Ease back white ? , I don't play that
Just because I got on my L.A. hat
Stalkin' walking in my ? boots
Is my jingle, now you want Mandingo
Big, black and handsome
I should hold your devil ass for ransome
Sorta like Patty Herst, but I'll burst first ?
And you know what's worse
I'm coming from the land where the choppers roam
So ? you ? and your Coppertone
Stringy hair - no derrier - frontin' and fakin' with your silicone pair
Do I wanna ? ? Not hardly
That's kinda like Barbie phuckin' Bob Marley
It ain't gonna happen, I keep rappin'
Muthaphuck Teniell, but see I'm the Captain of this ship
And I'm true to the game
Ya all look the same
Standin' by my backstage door, hopin' that'll switch
Spread out you little cave ?
Black people have said way worse about white chicks. So all you wanna be black-panther members need to shut the ? up. Quit trying to use supposed "racism" as a crutch your entire life.... -
Why did my first post not show up? Get your ? site together.
Like I was saying, I was just thinking about this. I agree with you, Darcskies. The White Supremacist ? remark was awkward, he could have handled that more diplomatically, but it wasn't racist or offensive. As for him using the N-word, it's just a word, he didn't call anyone a '******'. -
^ co-sign African....
I wish people would focus on context and not actual word usage. -
UM...I actually liked John Mayer...waaaay before the Chappelle Show and his music is not ?
-
I havent heard his new album but I got his album with Slow Dancing in a BUrning Room and VUltures and Gravity...I like his stuff :shrug:
-
Maybe I should check out some of his stuff on youtube. I remember listening to some of one song but it didn't impress me.
Your boy is not easily impressed. -
