John Mayer's a Pig!

So yesterday I briefly heard about the "John Mayer" incident by reading tweets and quickly scrolling through Perez Hilton. It was not until 5 minutes ago I got the gist of everything. Yesterday I was under the impression he used the N-word. I don't say that lightly especially being a young woman of color but it's sadly nothing new. The word is painful no matter who is saying it or what kind of "context" it is used in. It was meant for hate, it is hate, and it can not and will not ever be changed into something positive. Do I think everyone who uses the word all over the place has those intentions behind it, no. I think its just ignorance. Ignorance in the sense of lack of knowledge, what ignorance really stands for. People still continue to use that word do lack the lack the knowledge of how much it hurts. People who use that word knowing how it affects people do so because they want to and are knowledgeable of their actions and that is just whole other story that we all know.

With that said, I was just under the impression from the little tidbits I read about it. John Mayer used the N-word in an interview, John Mayer feels sorry, John Mayer lacks knowledge, John Mayer is a poser and a douche we always knew that but now its kind of surfacing to light. Now after reading an article that quotes exactly what he said, it doesn't kinda surfaces to light, it's out there, you're exposed as the pig that you are John Mayer on so many levels.

I read a great article on Jezebel.com titled "It's Impossible To Have "A Benetton Heart" And A "White Supremacist Dick"" that goes into detail about Mayer's quotes, contradictions, and stupidity. I have to say that I am amaze on how much of a douche this man is. Honestly, to call him a douche is not even enough, especially the fact is that he knows that he is one and claims it and loves it. Even to call him a pig isn't good enough because pigs are supposed to be intelligent, right?

So what am I so mad about. The use of the N-word, the degrading of black women, and women in general because not only does he degrades black women particularly a black actress, Kerry Washington (does she even know him?) but all women in the same breathe. Please John Mayer, explain this "white-girl crazy"? He also talks ill about his ex-girlfriends Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston. What did you women see in this man? What does anyone see in this man? How easy could it be to say "No I have never dated a black woman before, I am not interested." It's totally okay, that's why it's called attraction. Most people have attractions for many reasons, sadly race has a lot to do with it for the wrong reasons. But that is honest, and so be you. No one would have been mad at you. Many would have disagreed but would have moved on.

I am not going to go into the usage of the N-word and having a special edition "hood" card because I don't even think he knows what he is talking about. He grew up in Connecticut for crying out loud. I don't know how he could relate to anything he was trying to relate to. I know, I can't. I grew up in Long Island, New York. Not all black people have this mysterious "hood" card. Is it a library card?

Bottom line is that he did apologize and I think he whole hearty sees that he is a jerk. He just claims that now he just wants to play his guitar. Honestly, I won't be listening. Why, because you are a walking contradiction like you said. How can you have songs like (my two former favorites) "Waiting" and "Say"? It just doesn't make sense.

The one thing that he said that made complete sense out of this whole debacle was:

@johncmayer:  They don't make rehab centers for being an a-hole.

So true John. So very true.

Read the article, it's nicely written. "It's Impossible To Have "A Benetton Heart" And A "White Supremacist Dick""

Now this is a clever pig John Mayer:

PS- Do you think it has become a trend to publicly be a jerk in Hollywood?

Polls is up.
