“What is being black? It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you’ll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude’s….I don’t think I open myself to it.”
“My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick…”
“…Because I want to show her I’m not like every other guy. Because I hate other men. When I’m fucking you, I’m trying to fuck every man who’s ever fucked you, but in his ass, so you’ll say ‘No one’s ever done that to me in bed’…”
“The only man I’ve kissed is Perez Hilton. It was New Year’s Eve and I decided to go out and destroy myself. I was dating Jessica at the time, and I remember seeing Perez Hilton flitting about this club and acting as though he had just invented homosexuality.”
“All of a sudden I thought, I can outgay this guy right now. I grabbed him and gave him the dirtiest, tongue-iest kiss I have ever put on anybody—almost as if I hated fags. I don’t think my mouth was even touching when I was tongue kissing him, that’s how disgusting this kiss was. I’m a little ashamed. I think it lasted about half a minute. I really think it went on too long.”
The ladies’ favorite ride, John Mayer — he of the vacuously solipsistic self-ruminations, tendency to overshare his personal battle with compulsive masturbation, songs we thankfully only ever have to hear while in Pottery Barn, and that dead sexy dysentery-rabbit-punching-my-colon face he makes while crooning — in a recent interview with Playboy.
lol who is this tool bag!? John Mayer is bringing the concept of “stepping in it” to a whole new level.
Using the girls he sleeps with as a proxy to hate-fuck other men? Trying to ‘outgay’ Perez-freaking-Hilton at a club to prove some fuzzy point only he knows? Comparing his dick David Duke?
Dude’s a class act no matter which way you slice it.
John Mayer’s apology: (link)
I think he’s a self absorbed, self important, clueless guy, but he’s not racist or homophobic. I read the entire article, and I see what his intentions were. He was trying too hard to be “profound” and trying to come across as an edgy intellectual (clearly he failed). Someone that self absorbed can’t understand offending people when he was actually trying to endear himself to the same people that he offended. He was actually, obviously, flattered that some prominent African American artists, Kanye, Jay-Z, Common, etc. like his music.
He was trying too hard to empathize with black people (and that always sounds like racism to me whenever either male or female liberals do it).
He clearly is fascinated by the “idea” of gay men.
For example:
PLAYBOY: Would you kiss Harvey Levin?
MAYER: I would rim him, probably. I can’t just repeat the kissing trick.
That hardly sounds homophobic. He’s a lot of things, but I am pretty certain that Mayer isn’t a bigot.
