In case you may not know...John Mayer recently did an interview w/playboy and pissed people off...what else is new...he said: "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 hoodpass, you could call it a nigger pass." - John Mayer
My thoughts?
I definitely think waht he said was disappointing, unnecessary, and just overall wack. But I have 2 points to make:
1. John Mayer is really in trouble because he lacks a filter. Millions of people agree w/ the worst of his thoughts, but never say them.
2. When we judge athletes & entertainers on a character level, disappointment is waiting right around the corner.
Seriously, we all like to pretend that our celebrity heroes are so different & so much better and special than we are. .Examples, when I found out that President Obama smokes, (well smoked) I was in shock, it didn't really fit the wise image I had of him and wanted to keep of him. Example number 2, Luther Vandross!! For 2 decades, women, knowing good & well that Luther Vandross was gay, would scream @ his concerts like he was singing to them. PRETENDING.
The point is, these people are human. Meaning that they are filled with flaws just like who? US! I'm not saying what John Mayer did was right...but why the shock?
