John Mayer Talks Race, Relationships & Anything Else They Asked Him To Playboy

John Mayer
is slowly becoming the white Kanye West, and we enjoy his outspokenness, maybe you and Kerry Washington won’t:

MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, “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 hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, “I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’”

PLAYBOY: It is true; a lot of rappers love you. You recorded with Common and Kanye West, played live with Jay-Z.

MAYER: 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.

PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?

Read the rest after the jump – there’s some bad language.

MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My di@k is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fu@kin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my di@k.

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 di@k. 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.

Mayer always keeps it interesting….in the article he also goes on to say that sex with Jessica Simpson was amazing and he once told her, “I would start selling all my s*** just to keep fu@%^&% you.” Well…

There’s a thin line between being a cool, nonchalant hipster & being a complete moronic jackass… I think that John Mayer just proved that it’s a tightrope act, which he failed miserably. If he did have a proverbial “hood pass”, speaking as a black man, that shit just got revoked.

He’s just an arrogant kid with an okay amount of talent who’s headed down a very shallow, lonely road. I see him eventually either commiting suicide, battling drug addictions, having severe relationship issues, being deeply depression or all of the above. There’s such a good chance he’ll end up with all the white pussy he can get and still turn out to be a miserable disconnected nigga.

What is wrong this guy…he really is a disrespectful piece of work…Kanye at least has enough respect for another race, not to use the work “cracker” or “spic”…I am black and in no way “hood”…why are we buying the music and supporting an obviously racist, sexist and ignorant individual such as John Mayer…he did an R Kelly on black women (straight pissed all on us)…and I hope Jessica Simpson releases a statement that he was the worst sex she ever had!

Honestly John Mayer is known for giving stupid answers for stupid questions. I don’t think he was serious. I’m black also, and i think he was being a smart ass. Don’t think i’m being naive about it, but he is always saying something reckless and then shit never adds up. Sometimes people just ask the silliest questions, and hew knows it. I could care less. I know a ton of black comedians who make jokes about fucking white girls, or stereotypes, I know plenty of black women that say an Asian can never hit it. Its preference if anything, if he is serious about what he said. No different from Young Berg airing out that he don’t like the Dark Butts. Its fine if he keeps it to himself , but not cool if he actually says it out loud and isn’t lying about it lol.

I personally could care less who John is fucking.

Özgür Kurtoglu 02/10/2010 at 7:19 PM

Agreed. He’s just answering like any defiant little kid would do. Sure, it’s immature as hell, but stupid questions deserve stupid-ass answers. No need to blow it out of proportion and paint him up as a racist and whatnot.

Doubly agreed…and I kinda agree with John as far as the hood pass thing. I’m a black woman, and I feel like hood passes are like saying you get a nigga pass…only because it seems as if SOME white people don’t know what to do when other white people seem to click better with some black people or other people in general…I dont remember anybody in Harlem passing out a “hood pass” or in Brooklyn or in Chicago. Maybe we as a community need not allow certain sayings instead of blowing up about John Mayer.

You are NOT RACIST because you say the word “nigger”. It is a trashy word to say EVER, and so is the slang term. However, it’s a word. It seems out of place for him to say it, but at the end of the day – it’s a word. He’s saying he never knew the feeling of going in a restaurant and being denied, so to say he’s racist is just another swipe of the ‘race card’. (Also, as shitty as it may sound, servers do not enjoy serving black people in restaurants because black people are KNOWN to not tip. Or leave $3. Servers make $2.13 hourly so they depend on tips. Being run to death by picky black people who want to “sample” everything on the menu, plus complain – then leave $3, would piss ANYONE off. And I mean that in the least racist way possible – it is FACT.)

Jay 02/10/2010 at 4:30 PM

Wow I am so glad you brought this up. I have worked in hospitality for over 6 years now and it is so true that in general black people are horrible tippers. Why the fuck is that?? They want to complain about shitty service but I mean come on, what kind of incentive does a waiter have to give you good service when you complain and then leave 2 dollars on a 40.00 tab. wtf…

HNIC 02/10/2010 at 4:55 PM

@ SMH & Jay – Since we’re on the topics of racism & providing service & receiving little to no proper compensation; I think that sounds oddly familiar somehow… but, I can’t seem to put my finger on it. Perhaps, you could help me out? I’m thinking of captives held against their will for several hundred years, who had to provide various services for their captors, who still have yet to receive compensation for said acts of service.

You see where I’m going with this.

Before crying; “RACE CARD”, how dare you compare having to serve someone, by choice, mind you, to someone using the racial epitaph “nigger”? Which by your reasoning shouldn’t be deemed a racist term at all, simply because, “those people don’t ever leave tips”. I believe that you both just defined what being racist is. Re-think your ignorantly skewed perceptions, before replying.

For the record, I always leave tips solely to combat this stereotype. The service received determines the amount that’s left.

SMH 02/10/2010 at 5:05 PM

@ HNIC – Were you a slave? NO! Maybe your ANCESTORS were, and maybe my ANCESTORS were the “MASTERS”, but I WAS NOT. MY PARENTS WERE NOT. What does anyone white person TODAY owe YOU from the PAST? NOTHING! African Americans ACTUALLY started slavery – so ask THEM for compensation! And you ARE compensated by White America – check all the programs for blacks and minoritys only. FINANCIAL AID for schools, GRANTS, all sorts of “black scholarships”… I ask – what about the white kid in the “black neighborhood” whose parents are in the same tax bracket – his friends are getting grants for school paid for by tax payers for being “underpriviledged and black”, but what about the “underpriviledged” white kid? He’s stuck in the hood? NOT FAIR AT ALL. If that’s not RACISM, than I don’t know WHAT IS. Black people KEEP race going. I don’t owe anything and will NEVER bow down to ANY race BS because I know truth and I ACCEPT truth. MOVE ALONG, with your ignorant ass 1800 theories.

AND ANOTHER THING – all my BLACK server friends hate waiting on their own “kind” as well – they get shit tips too. So, explain that?

WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE WANT TO REMOVE THE FACT THAT RACISM STILL EXIST WHETHER THAY DECIED TO FEEL SORRY AND LET ONE OR TWO LITTLE BLACK KIDS GO TO SCHOOL. CHECK THE STATISTICS ASSWHOLE ITS MORE WHITE AND ASIAN POEPLE ON WELFARE THAN BLACKS AND JUST TO LET YOU ENABLING A RACE OF PEOPLE WITH GOVERNMENT GRANTS IS NOT OUR IDEA OF REPARATIONS. AND WHY DO WHITE POEPLE FEEL THE NEED TO TELL US IT WANT YOUR PARENTS. THE FACT THAT YOUR WHITE TRASH ASS SAID LETS ME FURTHER KNOW THAT YOU ARE A VICTIM OF MIS INFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA. SINCE YOUR SO INFORMED WHY DONT YOU RESEARCH 50′S THRU 70′S AND SEE EXACTLY HOW THE GOVERNMENT USED FREE-BEE’S TO PERPETUATE MORE RACISM. BY MAKING IT SEEM TO THE OTHER THAT ONE RACE WAS GETTING MORE THAN THE OTHER. BECAUSE LETS BE REAL HERE IF YOU WERE SOCIALLY EXCEPTED BY YOUR OWN RACE YOU WOULDNT BE COMPLAINING ABOUT A SCHOLARSHIP NOW WOULD YOU? BUT 9X’S OUT OF TEN YOUR FAMILY’S BLOODLINE IS PROBALLY NOT “UP TO PAR” AS YOUR RACIST COUSIN WOULD HAVE PUT IT. OR PERHAPS THE GIRL OR GUY OF YOUR DREAMS CANT MARRY YOU BECAUSE YOUR NOT OF THE RIGHT CUT FROM THE CLOTH OF CANAAN. LOL EITHER WAY HELP IS OUT THERE FOR YOU SO DONT EVER COMPARE WHITE HELP TO BLACK HELP. THE ONLY PEO[PLE COMPLAING IS WHITE TRASH WHO BELEIVED IN THE COMPLEXION FOR THE PROTECTION BIT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN “THOSE DAMN NIGGERS AND SPICS” STARTED GETTING JOBS GETTING HOUSES EXCELLING ON THE JOB XYANDZ. AND WHERE DID IT LEAVE TALENTLESS TAINTED WETDOG WHITE TRASH…..YOU SAID IT…STANDING RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE LINE. WHERE YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN (JUST TO LET YOU KNOW) ITS JUST BEEN AND ILLUMINATED DELUSION OF GRANDUER THATS KEPT YOUR FORE FATHERS FROM ACCEPTING THE TRUTH. AND AS A RESULT YOUR GENERATION CAN SEE IT FEEL IT TOUCH AND TASTE IT YET THEY CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT AND PLACE THE BLAME ELSE WHERE. GET OVER YOURSELF. YOU FUCKING PIGS WOULDNT SURVIVE ANYWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE WITH OUT OUR BLACK ASSES SO HELL YES YOUR LIFE SHOUD BE THE DEBT YOU PAY UNTIL YOUR DYING DAY. IF I HAD MY WAY FOR EVERYWHITE ASS ON THIS PLANET WUD AUTOMATICALLY EARN THEM 10 YEARS OF SLAVE LABOR TO THEIR COLORED MASTERS FOR WE WHERE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF THE TRUE GOD AND WE ARE THE MASTERS OF THIS EARTH AND YOU AND YOUR FELLOW COUNTERPARTS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN THE CANCERS OF THIS WORLD EATING AWAY AT IT LIKE A VICOUS PITBULL. SO I HOPE YOU FEEL REAL GOOD ABOUT THAT!!!!

So you assume from the time you see the black person that they are not going to tip you? Then it would seem that you probably do give crappy service to black people because you assume right off the bat they won’t tip. Hence your 2.00 tip.

Reply

SMH 02/10/2010 at 9:33 PM

No way, not at all. I will give the BEST. I make too money from others to risk my job. I treat all guests equally and have many black guests that love me and request me – I treat them well. And some do tip well. I don’t say all, but it’s a majority. And it’s not just the tip – it’s the attitude, the complaining, the “nothings right” attitude. Followed by the shitty tip… And I in NO WAY have “master” way of thinking – it’s funny you’d think that – that’s how a black person ALWAYS thinks when a white person states FACTS about race. If you don’t BOW DOWN to blacks, you are RACIST. Plain and simple.

Where you fucked up is saying it’s a “fact” and a “known fact”. That’s like me saying white people are racist and it’s a known fact that white males are racist. I was a waiter 8 years and got fucked over equally. Bow Down? Where do you live?? lol Attitude and complaining??…while well written, you are still stating bullshit. SMH as well…I’m sure if you see a black customer and you are already thinking they are having a “nothings right” attitude, then the service suffers as well….shit served on a gold plate is still shit….and African AMERICANS did not start slavery….where is that from? A lot of minimal educated people get that “fact” fucked up…yes there was slavery in Africa but it was not what slavery in America was. War criminals and career criminals became slaves for up to 8 years. You were still allowed to read and write and LEAVE after your sentence was up…

Charlie 02/10/2010 at 10:29 PM

Naw that’s not true. I am from the Caribbean and my family is like half white and i never thought anything negative about white people UNTIL i came to the states. It was crazy getting stares encountering racism. all my other friends are like you’ll get used to it but I don’t think I will. i think black people well me, since I don’t talk for all blacks want white people to at least acknowledge that racism does exist and we may have the same opportunities but its a lot harder for us to succeed. I keep repeating to myself “you must love everybody”

Charlie 02/10/2010 at 11:00 PM

@ Wenzel your right. Slavery back back then was not based on race or on inferiority. People gave them selves to pay a debt, because they knew they were going to be taken care of food etc…
And there were rules on how a master treated their slaves.
Thanks for clearing that up

3c 02/11/2010 at 7:49 AM

“how a black person always thinks” is something i KNOW u dont KNOW. i jus need to tell u dat. and to tell everybody else im black i dont tip n i never will cuz i paid for the serivice already in d bill and u get a salary for what u do who dont like it cud lie down by it. and i never saw it as a race thing its jus me not payin twice.

els 02/11/2010 at 10:20 AM

@SMH maybe its time you find a real job instead of waitressing..just a thought. And I think i speak for every black person when I say that no one WANTED to be beaten and thrashed and put down and lynched for over 100 years. You may have had your own opinion about your job…but black people started slavery?? Really Sweetie?? None of us ever tip well…with an attitude like that im sure you have some sort of attitude when talking to us. Lets not excuse the fact that White people are just as nasty and almost twice as cheap…since we’re talking history. And your not a racist if you dont “bow down to blacks” (though maybe you should lol) but you could be a racist if you dont have enough respect for PEOPLE, of any culture or race. Think about that next time you wait a “black” table

melaninisPOWER 08/25/2010 at 1:12 PM

STATISTICS HAS SHOWN THAT OTHER RACES DONT TIP AS WELL. I FEEL IT IS BASED OFF OF INCOME AND LOCATION. POOR WHITE TRASH WONT TIP IF THEY CANT AFFORS TO BUT THEN AGAIN MOST WHITE TRASH ARE CRACK HEAD WAITRESSES ANYWAY SO THEY ALREADY KNOW THE STRUGGLE. BUT TRUST ME BLACK PEOPLE WITH AN INCOME TIP LATINOS WITHOUT INCOME DONT TIP, ITS ALL BASED ON WHATS IN YOUR POCKET. AND QUITE FRANKLY ALL RACES SAMPLE. IT SOUNDS A LITTLE PERSONAL TO ME…ARE U A SERVER. BECAUSE I’VE WITNESSED ON MANY OCCASSION A TYRANT CRACKER SENDING A FELLOW PORK FACE SERVER BACK AND FORTH FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE TABLE. AND IRONICALLY DOWN TO EARTH WHITE TRASH SEEMS WAY MORE EXCITED TO BE IN THE COMPANY OF A SINCERE NON TIPPING BLACK PERSON THAN A OVER STUFFED POMPUS WHITE ASS WHO CALCULATES THE TIP WITH EXACTNESS AND MAKES EM WORK LIKE “WHITE” SLAVES FOR EVERY PENNY OF IT….I KNOW IT WAS OFF TOPIC BUT I HAD TO COMMENT ABOUT THE TIP THING…JUS SOUNDS A LIL PERSONAL THATS ALL.
AND AS FAR AS MAYER… I DONT KNOW WHY WHITE PEOPLE THINK JUST BECAUSE BLACK RAPPERS ON TV ACKNOWLEDGE CERTAIN FAMOUS WHITE ENTERTAINERS THAT THE REST OF THE “SOUL” POPULATION WILL. GET OVER YOURSELF DIDY AND JAYZ ARE NOT THE SPOKESPERSONS FOR BLACK AMERICA. QUITE FRANKLY THEY’VE SOLD OUT A LONG TIME AGO WHICH IS PROBALLY WHY THEY ARE “IN TOUCH” WITH MAYERS STALE PALE ASS ANYWAY.

AS USUAL WHITEY BEING THE SCHIZOPHRANIC PSYCHOPATHIC POMPUS ASS AGAIN….DO YOU GUYS EVER GET TIRED OF LIVING WITHOUT MELANIN. THE LACK THERE OF IS DRIVING U PIGS STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOMLESS PITS OF HELL WHERE YOU BELONG. MAYBE THE FLAMING FIRE WILL STERILIZE YOUR IMPURE THOUGHTS THATS DESTROYING THE WORLD AT LARGE.

@ SMH – Geez Louise, Becky, calm down… I can tell that you’re very passionate about your point of view. Seriously, the big bad black people aren’t all out to get you. So, relax. You’re gonna be fine.

I’m sure that it’s occurred to you that many minorities, not only blacks, but people of other ethnicities, including women, also receive grants & financial aide. It’s not specifically a designated black distribution system. Being black isn’t the sole qualification for that type of assistance. & even in cases where black people are eligible to receive it, your performance has to meet the institutions requirements to keep them. It isn’t a free pass or a hand out. It has to be earned & rightfully so. You make it seem like it’s some sort of exclusive welfare program that us, shifty non-tipping Negroes abuse.

I can’t speak on behalf of the individuals that you’ve dealt with in the past, because I don’t personally know them. But, you’ve said that it’s the majority of black people that you’ve served that doesn’t leave tips. Really? You know the majority of this nation’s black population? Or is it just a random few that you’ve dealt with who didn’t have a pleasant attitude or experience when dealing with you that have given you this perspective?

Contrary to the media driven propaganda that’s been circulating for years, we’re not all uneducated, uncouth, non-tipping ingrates. Truthfully, with even still some remaining cultural differences between the races, the great divide has shrunk significantly, especially within the past 10 years. Not entirely, but, trust me, we’ve made leaps and bounds from when MLK gave his famous speech on the steps of the Lincoln Monument, some 40 years ago.

Which brings me to my final point, you shouldn’t judge people solely based on the color of their skin. Being black doesn’t mean that you’re genetically predisposed to not tip. Like Roosevelt said earlier, this is a class issue, not a race issue.

If you don’t live in Atlanta, you don’t and won’t understand. It is an argument that I will agree to disagree. I assume you are black, so you will never understand (or even be open-minded enough to try to understand) what it is like to be white and have nation full of black people get free hand-outs for “being black” and CONSTANTLY be called a “RACIST” the minute you disagree with a black. I have black friends. I’ve dated black people. It’s a TYPE that I’m talking about, and a TYPE that has become the NORM. And don’t feed me that “media” bullshit because it is true. It is WITNESSED. If you feel better pretending you don’t notice and want to blame everything on “white media”, then do so. “Pulling the race card” is equivalent to self-hate.

Dave Chappelle said it best; “America needs an honest discourse with itself. This is like the greatest country in the world, by default. We could actually be the greatest country that’s ever existed if we were just honest about who we are, what we are & where we want to go & if we learn how to have that discourse. Things like racism are institutionalized; it’s systemic. You might not know any bigots, you feel like; “Well, I don’t hate black people, so I’m not a racist.” But, you benefit from racism, just by the merit of the color of your skin. There’s opportunities that you have, you’re privileged in ways that you may not even realize, because, you’ve never been deprived of certain things. We need to talk about these things, in order for them to change.”

He closed that interview by saying; “The only way you know where the line is, is when you cross it. & I think, what is life if nobody is crossing the lines. You just want to be on the right side of History & sometimes what’s going on in the immediate present is not as important as what’s going on in the long term.

No, SMH, I don’t live in Atlanta, but, I can tell you from the experience of being a black man in this country my entire life that it’s no cake walk, by any means. I’m not asking for your sympathy or telling you to “Bow Down” (but, if you insist. Just playin’)… I simply suggest that you consider seeing things from a different perspective other than your present one.

**@SMH** It’s white people like YOU that keep the RACE issue going. You come on here with your ‘holier than thou’ attitude and actually have the nerve to spew your blatant hate for black people and THINK that because you put together a coherent sentence we ain’t gonna see your true colours? Well I see them and i’m pulling ur bitch card. You ain’t shit. While reading your posts all I can see are images of YOUR ancestors belittling and oppressing MY ancestors. There blood and evilness was handed down to you and as much as you try to cover it up it is slowly crawling it’s way out. Don’t try to suppress it! Be real! The fact that you can sit there and say ‘we blacks this’ and ‘we blacks that’ uhhhh yaaa you’re a straight racist who lacks compassion and insight. Straight tha fuck up. Annnndddd did your monkey ass really say ‘African Americans started slavery’??? LOOOOOOLLLLL yoooo how could they have been ‘African American’ if they hadn’t reached ‘America’ yet?! Lemme educate your ‘overpriviledged white racist ass’ real quick. Yes there was slavery in Africa among the indigenous people and YES some Africans enslaved and captured other Africans. BUT it was YOUR people who ultimately led millions and millions of Africans over the oceans(and quite often threw them overboard while crossing) while tearing apart families and cultures and SOULS. AND it didn’t just stop there. Look around you. I mean REALLY REALLY look around you. You mentioned some nonsense about blacks being favoured in certain areas? Black people SHOULD BE FAVOURED IN EVERY AREA IMAGINABLE!!!! I don’t live in America, I live in Canada but I CAN tell you this right now. AMERICA owes black people more than they can ever pay. Who do you think BUILT AMERICA ON SWEAT AND BLOOOOOD?!?!?! THROUGH SLAVERY?!?!!? Listen I’m gonna stop now before I get even more heated. I’ll leave you with this…

Do some research. Learn about your own history(and ours before you talk bullshit) Everyday I am confronted by ignorant white people who think history can be erased by downplaying it’s effects and by misconstruing facts. How tha hell do I live in Canada and know more about American history than you?! Oh yeah and one more thing. Don’t you ever for a second think that you’re better than any black person because we have something instilled in us that you will NEVER EVER have, and THAT my friend is the ability to ENDURE hardships. Now BOW to that bitch.

I skimmed that essay, thanks for trying to “instill” some knowledge, but like I said, you won’t understand. All I’m going to say, is you are what I am talking about. Rants about slavery, although you didn’t live a day of them. You know nothing about slavery. Nothing. There is one life to live and I will not spend mine trying to understand slavery and what makes the poor little black people upset. I could give two fucks. Call that racist if you want – but you are a hypocrite. You know by my posts that I’ve never had to endure hardships? Or are you assuming all white people are “overpriviledged” and don’t know hardships? Isn’t that a little “racist” or hypocritical to you? Don’t even respond. You people are a joke.

I can’t possibly instill knowledge in a white devil. I’ve learned that a long time ago. You need to erase the hate from your heart before you can EVER see clearly. Your whole world is viewed from a narrow minded persective. That is as clear as day. Annnndddd as for you laughing @ CANADA LOOOOOOOOOOL wowww are you ever lost. I am so proud that I live here. America is soooo filled with too many people like you. I can honestly say without a doubt in my heart if I lived there I wouldn’t last a day because I would go on a murdering rampage. LOOOLLL Your country is FUCKED. Why? Because of people like you. Didn’t I just explain to you what America was built on?! Yaaa u skimmed my article because you’re dumb white ass can’t handle the truth! And it hurts like hell don’t it? I know it does you can lie to yourself but u ain’t foolin me. ANNDD ya damn right i’ma stay my ass in Canada! LOOLLL Keep prayin that I do cuz if I ever come there I’m comin straight for YOU! LMAOOOOOOOOO

Tell a jewish decendant of the holocaust that they know nothing of holocaust. Europes failures and triumphs during the crusade shaped history to what it is today. Moorish medicine saved European lives during the Black Plague. History is as important as the present. This maybe trivial but without slavery there would be know Southern Black Cuisine. Meaning less cases of diabetes and other detrimental health issues caused from slave cuisine. The breakdown of the black family especially the black man is a clear cut problem started from the slave trade. Study the Willie Lynch laws. Better yet before you speak on history of Black people study about Moors, Nubians, Kemet, Axum the list goes on. I wish you would stop speaking to people specifically in the case Africans about themselves. How can you tell me who I am if i never met you. In closing SMH u suck at history. I would go in on you even more but if you would like to debate or be schooled hit me on my msgr. lionheart4lif36@yahoo.com if im not online send me a message. ill sure get back to you beacause you seem so lost. you sound like a republican.

I had a conversation with one of my white friendz yesterday and tried 2 explain wut you’re talking about…it fell on deaf ears(like it usually does) The truth is they are ignorant to it all. They always have a ‘but’ and ‘yeah but’ lol I can honestly say I have yet to meet a white person who understands and sympathyzes(sp) with history. Yet most people of other nationalities can? I for one will never understand it. You sound pretty educated though and I’m always willing to learn more about our history and culture so I might just hit u up. Peace.

One last thing – I wish everyone would rent/buy the movie “Schindler’s List”. It’s about Jews and the Holocaust. It is truly horrifying, and so much more recent, but, you NEVER hear from the Jewish people. No scholarship programs to them. No categorizing all of their oppressors. They come to the country in peace, love their family and the culture… never cause havoc on the streets.

Reply

Just Me 02/11/2010 at 7:00 PM

I wish you would watch ROOTS!!

What happened to the Jews was absolutely horrific! But there is a GREAT difference between hundreds of years of physical & psycological oppression/slavery and a few decades of genocide.

The Jews were horribly exterminated in mass numbers but not only were blacks exterminated we were also stripped of our identies and basic human rights, manipulated into blaming & hating eachother (light skin -vs- dark skin) and made to believe that we were less than human for over 100′s of years.

After the holocaust the Nazi’s were brought to their knees in a World War that many Black American soldiers fought and died in. The Jews were given the luxury of being able to return to their original history, recieve massive reparations & millions of dollars for their suffering, and rebuild their culture and pride. Blacks didn’t have that. No one was ever really fully held accountable or punished for the trans Atlantic slave trade. When slavery ended Blacks were only promised 40 acres and a mule that most of us ever recieved. We were tossed into a new orld where we were utterly despised, hated, and stil mistreated. We weren’t give any money, education, or infrastructure and were told to go figure it out.

We had no choice but to coexist, compete with, and depend on our captors for our survival. We were now apart of their society following their rules, and being forced to live up to their standards.

It’s only been about 40 years or so since we were legally granted our full civil rights. So yes, we have issues!!! The psychological affects of these circumstances may last for many more years. However, we still are survivors!!! I wonder how civil and advanced the Jews or any other group of people would be under the same set of circumstances.

charlie, this world is actually fucked up how it is now because, mostly black people, took out loans and leases and cars and homes they can’t afford, got them repossed, and fucked up the loan offices. which fucked up the banks.

tell me how many blacks you see driving escalades and lexus and bmw’s, and living in an APARTMENT COMPLEX!!! trying to live beyond their means. *THAT* is what has fucked this economy up. it’s caused loan offices to depend on banks for the money, banks run out because they’ve been forced by “reparations” to the blacks, and now the government is having to loan money.

please please please do some research before ever thinking you know anything about white people and how they “corrupt” things. you are so uneducated. blame your auntie and cousins and nem.

in ways i blame white people for always tip-toeing around blacks and being so afraid to say anything because they do not want to be deemed as racist. when really, they need to speak up more often for what is right. especially when it involves money. give blacks a little, they want it ALL. and that’s why we’re in this economic crisis.

Reply

Charlie 02/15/2010 at 3:33 PM

LMAO what? So I guess the white people who were loaning these black (since it was only black people borrowing money) knowing they couldn’t pay it back because of their Greed had nothing to do with it?

So black people are the reason we are in a recession?? I am here laughing as I type this lol What repatriation have white people given blacks?

I have to do research? lol Please stop watching FOX news and go pick up a book. It is because of white people’s greed and their not caring about anyone but themselves is what got us into this mess. What about the wars, pollution, veterans who are now homeless, the poor WHITE people, the white people that are dying because the white owned insurance companies are scamming them please I want to see how you blame that on blacks

All I can say is that I read the whole article on Playboy.com and it only made me like John Mayer, where as I was completely indifferent before! The whole thing has been taken out of context (and Perez Hilton is evil/ambition/envy all rolled into one contemptuous being, with way more power than he deserves or the people that fund that website). I completely got the guy he’s a self deprecating artist, really smart and witty, I laughed, was not offended at the remarks about the ‘hood pass, and his supremacist dick – it was all directed at himself – he’s like Kanye West after his Mom died, and it’s probably worse because there’s nothing tangibly linked to his existential woes, except maybe his success. How sad is that? And now he’s fucking crying and apologising at his concerts, he’ll probably be on meds soon if he isn’t already. I hope he doesn’t stop tweeting. Read the article for yourselves, that’s all I can say. I’m black, female, South African – it doesn’t get any worse than that, perspective is what I walk towards, give the guy a break.

I will add that for those that are “white”or of anglosaxon background, when it comes to people of “color” you guys need to develop empathy and assertiveness. And please do some research. History,politics whatever. Also, we Black people…lets lead again by example, just like it was prior to slavery. Civil rights of the 1960′s, African countries reclaiming our independence to me that is “people of color “second wind. Lets all remember this just happened like 40 some years ago. We are making progress but it does not hurt to pick up the speed a bit more. As an African born in Europe, Canada and now living in the States, I find that my even my fellow black Americans need to learn their history all over so that they can regain that sense of pride, dignity and estime…we all need to REEDUCATE Ourselves as human beings…ALL ethnicities..so people on this blog really spit some truthful and intelligent, factual ispiring shit…thank you.
