Let this be a lesson, kids: when you mix white privilege, male privilege, boredom, celebrity, and a hugely over-indulged ego you grow up to be John Mayer. You've been warned.
Round up of responses to the 'very very' Mayer:
John Mayer's "Very" Wide-Open Window Into U.S. Race Relations - Psychology Today (this one was more empathic than others.)
John Mayer: A black woman responds - Salon
When Racefail Meets Playboy: The John Mayer Interview - Racialicious
Should We Give Him a Pass on the N-word? - BlogHer
John Mayer and his white supremacist man-bits - Feministe
Mayer Reveals His Authentically Racist Self - Whose Shoes Are These Anyway?
Was he high? Was he serious? Who cares? If I keep getting my 'black card' revoked for my lack of pop culture knowledge I want his freaking 'hood pass' permanently suspended!
Parts of his interview (esp. the part about having a white supremecist cock) reminded me of that opening hook up montage in The Wedding Crashers - our two heroes will sleep with *anyone* - just not black women. I honestly don't care who people sleep with - but I always look aslant at folks who cross out whole ethnic groups and don't interrogate it. I include myself in this number; I will admit there are whole countries of men I am not interested in meeting. Maybe I should give Mayer some slack for being so horrendously honest about his racial preferences.
Whatever. Any dude who needs to look at 300 images of porn just to get going in the morning is an asshat. Frak his honesty.
