Sistas, prepare to have your hearts broken.
When it comes to white musicians, there are three that make black women lose their minds – Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke and John Mayer. From my own experience, I know that if my lovely wife ever crossed paths with Thicke or JT I’ll be sitting on Divorce Court with that lady that replaced Judge Mablean.
Thankfully she doesn’t see the big deal with John Mayer. And neither do I. He always looks like he just woke up from a crack coma. Plus anyone who looks like this guy is NOT a sex symbol:
I missed the days when my name reminded people of a zombie with scissors for hands, not a glittery vampire.
But I digress. As I mentioned, the wifey doesn’t think Mayer looks all that great. But she’s in the minority.
Oh, but I bet that’s about to change.
Yesterday, comments from John Mayer’s interview with Playboy set the Internet ablaze. The interview proves what I’ve been saying for years – that John Mayer is either truly an idiot or perpetually high.
Here are a couple of excerpts:
PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?
MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My d*ck is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f*ckin’ David Duke c*ck. I’m going to start dating separately from my d*ck.
PLAYBOY: Let’s put some names out there. Let’s get specific.
MAYER: I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, “Yeah, I sucked his d*ck. Whatever.” And you’d be like, “What? We weren’t talking about that.” That’s what “Heartbreak Warfare” is all about, when a girl uses jealousy as a tactic.
Sorry sistas.
Mayer is now being labeled a racist. Moron? Definitely. Racist? I don’t know about that. Just because he said he doesn’t date black women doesn’t mean he’s gonna throw on his white Snuggie and burn a cross on my lawn. We throw parades when black men say “I only date black women” – what’s the difference? People are free to date whomever they want.
He can date a dirty mop for all I care. He has more in common with that than a human being anyway.
Plus, he admits he had a thing for Hilary from Fresh Prince. Although, again, he proves his dirty hair has clouded his mind – Ashley was a billion times more fine than Hilary.
Mayer’s only mistake here is that his big mouth is gonna cost him a lot of fans. At least until his next CD comes out. Then all will be forgiven. Right, R. Kelly?
Ladies, what do you think? Have you fallen out of love with John Mayer or are his critics overreacting?
As a black woman it’s never easy to hear you’re considered unattractive but I’m not attracted to white men “as a group,” either, they rarely register on my radar or get me hot and bothered, sooo. I like some of Mayer’s songs but I’ve never had the hots for him. Likewise, I’ve never had the hots for JT, he’s seems like a little boy to me… talented and fun, but a child, or at best a teenager. On the other hand I am obsessed with Robin Thicke and it’s not because of his wife, he just does it for me. Foremost, I’m crazy about his music, I’d buy it even if I didn’t find him sexy, but I do enjoy looking at that man.
did you just dis Edward Scissor hands?! Anyway, i have for the last few years moved away from my obssession with John Mayer. He looks sickly these days and also he seems to be one of the biggest womanizers in Hollywood.
I read his douch-y interview in Rolling Stone that came out a little while ago and he basically gets high and watches “adult” movies all the time. I don’t know if he thought he was being clever with what he said in Playboy or what, but he should have just shut his mouth a long time ago. I use to like some of his songs but I don’t think I can even listen to them anymore. What a waste of talent.
What’s that saying? … “It’s best to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool rather than open it and erase all doubt.”.. John boy, these words should be etched on your bathroom mirror… SMH
ROFL — the white snuggie comment was absolutely priceless, Edd.
