I’m wondering what exactly does one outside of our race do that they receive the ‘coveted hood pass’ in the first place…and is it really an ‘honor’ to be accepted in the HOOD?

YOU MUTHERFUKIN CLOWN……IT’S NICE TO SEE ALL OF THE FACES THAT ARE COMING FROM UNDER THEIR HOODS…..LOL…FOR REAL! THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY!

another white boy…who wants to be black…and PAULA PATTON IS GORGEOUS!!!!!

the nigg*r would be the one who actually listens to john mayer. now that thats out the way, with all this talk about an alleged “hood pass”, i would like to apply for a cracker pass. not that im an oreo or a house brotha, but i could use a stimulus plan for my negative credit score. next topic please.

I AGREE WITH YOU DMY19151 100 PERCENT, I JUST WISH OUR PEOPLE SEE THE TRUTH FOR WHAT IT IS.

[...] http://newsone.com/entertainment/news-one-staff/john-mayer-apologizes-i-was-arrogant-to-use-n-word/ John Mayer took to Twitter to apologize for using the N-word in an interview with Playboy magazine. [...]

What’s a hood pass? Does it mean that JohnM. can take his off and use the N word to make it sound like ‘we’ are all for it and it doesn’t matter? A N****R is an ignorant person white or black or any race in between. So maybe he is one!

Do any of you realize that he was saying the “hood pass” thing was nonsense? that the concept of him, as a white guy, having a “hood pass” is stupid because no matter how much of a “hood pass” he has he’ll never go through the unfortunate experiences black people through.

@quiet_storm41, I was thinking the same thing. He’s basically saying that he could never take such a “title” because he’s never gone through what black have and are going through as we speak. But he could have said it in a better way. But I get what he’s saying. I’m not mad at all.

Yea he could have said.. a black pass..but i guess he was really trying to put his point through and relate it to the sufferings blacks have been through so I guess “n****r” seemed at the time like the right word to use..by the way JOHN MAYER..is not racist at all..so black folks..just read between the lines, dont just jump to conclusions because he said “n****r”, I mean when i moved to MIAMI, FL..and started high school..these white looking boyz..=== spanish i guess..was calling me n****r all dayyyyy..but guess what thats how they call themselves..s they were in no way insulting me, because thats just how those real white looking boys…some with blue eyes and spiky gell filled hair.. who are actually spanish..talk over there in high school.. wasup my n****r..haha anyways yea..cool your hearts people on the real he just slipped trying to explain that he could never have a hood pass because he is not black..which makes sense.. PEACE OUT !!

I got that quietstorm41

I love John. I own quite a bit of his material and I think Continuum is one of the best albums I’ve ever owned. If anyone EVER tries to imply this boy is racist, you need your head checked. His whole career and sound has been wrapped around studying black music, including blues, jazz, r&b. He’s gotten to play with B.B. King and he’s covered Hendrix.

It was stupid of him to say it, knowing he’d piss people off. But I think that’s all there is to this story. Leave it alone.

@ mike_diesel27

I agree. He definitely could’ve said it better

Did ya’ll even read what was after the N word area? He basically said when it came to black women, his “you know what” was racist. I don’t think that was a very smart thing to say but I don’t think he is an actual racist. He just should have worded that better. Like I prefer white women only or something.

WOOOOW! Not at what John Mayer said; but at the black women on this site who are basically excusing it! Let that had been a comment from some famous black personality! Sisters would be calling for boycotts and everything! Just goes to show you: black women will give white men a pass everytime. A brother can’t even approach a sister in a club and strike up a conversation, without her turning her nose up at him and giggling about it with her friends.

Wesley Snipes said he prefers dating Asian chicks, and yall threw the man under the bus…called for boycotts of his movies and all! This cracker tells you his d!ck is basically off limits to black women, and yall love him all the more! smdh…

This is really a non-story, because the sisters won’t do a damn thing about it. Except buy more of his music. Watch and see…

AGAIN!! AMERICA WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN.. AND BLACK PEOPLE WHEN ARE YA’LL GOING TO LEARN TO STOP TALKING ABOUT RACISM.. RACISM IS STILL GOING TO EXIST.. AND WITH THIS I SEE PEOPLE GETTING ANGRY AND JUST HATING BACK.. I DON’T SEE THIS TYPE OF NONSENSE IN THE 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES. IN THESE 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES, I’VE SEEN WORSE RACISM THAN IN AMERICA.. WHERE THE BLACK AND NATIVE INDIANS WOULD GET IN LARGE WARS AND BE FORCED TO BELIEVE SOMETHING.. SPEAKING ABOUT RACISM IN THE EARLY ERA OF THE RACE CARD.BUT HONESTLY, IF YOU GO TO THE 3RD WORLD YOU’LL SEE BLACKS, WHITES, BROWN, GREEN WHOEVER AL TOGETHER AND NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT EACH OTHER SKIN COLOR OR HAVE A F**KING DEBATE ABOUT IT.. SEE IN THESE COUNTRIES THEIR NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT, THEIR WORRIED ABOUT SURVIVING AND WORKING HARD. S**T! IN AMERICA, THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, IS LAZY AND THE PERSON THAT SPEAKS ABOUT RACISM ALOT IN MY OPINION IS A RACIST.. WELL IF U BEG TO DIFFER I KNOW THIS IS TRUE.

THERE WOULDN’T BE A NEED TO BE ‘SRY’ IF PPL JUST THINK BEFORE THEY SPEAK.

Actually I think black people need to get over it! Take that however anyone will, but I am with Dave Chepelle on this, Black people give the word itself to much power. If the article is readf or interview being a racist is far from what the man was talking about and if the full article was read, like the writer said, John says stuff to work the media, he knows what will be charged statements and what want.

It still amazes me how we as a race can get some pissed over someone using a word that we calkl each other 10 times a second and then try to claim , but Im black, that ish is so funny. If the word is bad then its bad for whoever uses it, again, GET OVER IT! It’s a word. And it’s a word that he used not even in a racist way to me but then again I am not looking for a reason to cry racism and fr

Hell I call white people niggas all the time.

this mutha f**ka said n****r tho!!!!!!!!he cudv used soooo many otha words!! that just tells me that he uses that word on the reg..who cares how many black people hes worked with or had in his videos,when he goes home at the end of the day ther jus N****RS 2 him!!!!all his black fans are his N****R fans!!!if ther was nuthing worng wit usin the word then y is he sorry???An 4 the record who da f**k want John Myers lil PINK dick anyway!!!

Well he isn’t my cup of tea anyways, and even if i dated white men he wouldn’t be my cup of tea. Folks need to watch what they say and how they say it….or don’t say it at all. If he prefers white women only then he needs to just say that….but i understood what he was saying….i don’t see him as a racist if he only prefers white women. People need to stop getting upset for their dating preferences…..but he should still watch what he says.

[...] Via:  NewsOne.com [...]

It never ceases to amaze me how often we as black people always try to defend the white man’s name or honor. For this dumb azz sister SynnieMI to say just b/c he makes black sounding music he can’t be racist. What rock did you hide under for you to miss that white folks have been stealing black music for years. Whether it’s Elton John,Elvis Presley, Hall and Oates,Micheal McDonald,etc. They know what is going to get them paid. Hell if you spent half the time defending the black man and black people we wouldn’t have all these issues between us b/c we could actually try to find a solution to our disagreements. But what should I expect, you are nothing but cracker lovers.

[...] Via:  NewsOne.com [...]

John Mayer should have said it in a better manor. After all isn’t the man educated? I am don’t like his music anyways, and I do agree with “watchmesucceed.” If we don’t stand for something… we will fall for anything!!

Hellokitty wtf do you know? You’re not black, and just because you date black men don’t give u the black experience. Damn snowflakes…anyway I agree with Mike_Diesel, he could have worded it better. John Mayer is a douche bag, I don’t know if any of you follow him or have watched anything he’s been on, but he’s a ass. As far as the “p***s is racist” statement…I don’t care because I don’t want him. Just like with Snipes, I don’t want him either, or “brothas” that go after “females” like Hellokitty and have them comin up on BP talkin like they know something smdh

he is clearly trying to belittle black people im no longer a fan
he was beign racist to the fullest it wasnt a slip up or
him just trying to be down he was putting our race down

Why did so many black people give this guy a pass… Fuch him

You know what, I take that back…. after reading the comments on this blog…dont fuch him….fuch all the stupid black people who think that this was OK

No wonder we are soooo fuched up…

John Mayer was only said what was in his heart. It was not arrogance, but disrespect that made him say that. And those who gave him his “hood pass” (if that is what you want to call it) should revoke it! Now people can see what he really thinks of African Americans. There is no other “spirit” to take that word in other than the stigma that it is associated with. He knew he said a bad thing and now he is trying to spin it. But you cannot justify using that word, especially when you are not an African American (not saying it is right when African American’s use it, but it is less painful).

lmfao @ Snapshot whoever the f*** she is………….African American, what about the rest of the Negroes in the world they don’t consider as “NEGROES”… Wow, very intelligent, lol…

How can I say this….Ummm f**k you!

TAKE YOU’RE APOLOGY AND SHOVE IT UP YO ASS !

LOL DO U know why i’am laughing because this sh!t is funny and he is right & wrong 1st he should’nt have said the n word that was stupid and he was right because he really does not have a hood pass until u go in 2 a restaurant and they say its full. What A Dumb A$$ lol And i’am not saying that cause i’am black i’am saying this because i’am real bad business move thanks 4 taking the heat off chris brown now all we need is other non black person 2 say n!gger on lil wayne trial and maybe he won’t have 2 go 2 jail

I posted the following also on the article “Do black people really like John Mayer?”
but it applies to this article as well:

Most of his music is simply stolen black styles of music.

Ever hear the song “gravity”?
The guitar reminds you of black blues music.

He’s yet another “europeanized” way of denying blacks credit for originality, uniqueness and creativity (often despite very discouraging circ**stances). Think Elvis, Eminem, Back Street Boys, NSync, the list goes on and on. To perpetuate the “lie of superiority”, White society has a consistent record of spotlighting the remake and ignoring the original.

Maybe if he learned to use his own style (if he has one), he’d be less resentful and bitter toward the people whose music style puts money in his pockets. Most telling about this “self-loathing” mentality is how run down he’s been looking lately.

No matter how society tries to redefine the “N” word, it was conceived to be hateful, discouraging and when used by other blacks is self-depreciating.

It can no more be redefined as a harmless than rape can be redefined as entertainment. But of course, the whole slavery mentality which gave rise to modern racism was formed from objectifying blacks rather than giving them a fair chance to participate in our “democracy” as the human beings that they were. I had not thought of it when first making the comparison, but the same inconsiderate, self-excusing, denial of guilt in racism is present for the act of rape as well. Go figure.

Ok seriously how many of us actually know or care about him. I heard his name before but that is about it, he is not getting my money so why even give him any attention that would put money in his ignorant pocket.

First, I want to say I love his music. You guys all have to consider the times we live in. 10 years ago, I would have been leading the band wagon to tar and feather this dude. Great Music or not. In this day in age we call ourselves N****r. White boys are calling each other n****r. Mexicans are calling each other n****r. Or Nigga. It’s frekan insane. I hate the word and don’t think anyone should use it. If you want respect, respect yourself. The day we stop calling each other N****r and someone from another race does it. I’ll be ready to fight. But till than… Get your Status Braclet @ http://StatusBracelet.com

I am insulted and offended by the N-word itself. It pains me everytime I hear anyone use regardless of his or her race. I don’t use the word because I know the pain, suffering, and injustice that the N-word has caused.

Why does he have to be so damn stupid!! I think John Mayer is an amazing artist but mentally he is losing it!! He should have known better, he KNOWS better so I can’t give him a pass for saying what he said. How disappointing…

I think he meant to say it ga instead of er. Other than that this guy has worked with Kanye and he was on the Chapelle show so IDK bout this one.

Now to prove how sorry he is for using the word, John will probably start dating Black woman.

So BP, let’s get ready for that.

Here is what I have learned on this planet. We are the most copied and secretly adored people in the world. The same people that hurt us and openly say they hate us. Secretly want us or want to be us. So it’s all flattery. You me we are regal even at or worst the others wish they could have a little of what we got running through our beings. When you realize that, you can put the other stuff in perspective. Walk great, talk great, and let the world try to keep up with the innovators of indefinable distinctive qualities. In other words …… everything you do, touch, say is awaited with bated breath to steal and make you ashamed of owning it. You are magicians who can take something so mean and horrible as compressed hate in the form as a word, change it use it within our world and make the same people who used it on us wanna call themselves by the same name.

The dude wanna be you thats all. But he can’t.

WOW…for all of you who think this is ok..VERY VERY UPSETTING!! We will never get ahead like this! No wonder for every step forward we take 2 steps back! So sad!

He was stupid for making the comment. Like a lot of artists, he’s a little off. But when you really think abut it he’s right. He cant have a hood pass. He can’t really be down like that. He is not Black and he will never know how it feels to be Black. In a lot of ways I prefer this to those “Wiggers,” who think that they are down and we support their antics.

Whos_GiNa..the reason many black ppl are not very very upset…and may I say, we all have a right to our opinion so plz don’t try to force us to react the way you want…is because black ppl have come along way but at the same time, there’s a lot that needs to be taken care of by us, not for us. I’m not going to say that JM should/shouldn’t have used the “N” word in that context but it doesn’t effect my life one bit esp when my mom who’s 64 told me that our ppl preferred the “N” word to being called black where she was growing up in South Carolina until James Brown’s “Black and I’m Proud” song. And for those that do get offended, is it right that Chris Rock used the “C” word in one of his HBO shows? Or is there a difference?

But, did we really take 2 steps back because of what one white man said? Cuz 1 step fwd was when Obama got elected, a step back would be what? When Rodney King and other black men have been victims of police brutality and it still occurs–y the hell do they get away with that? A step back would be when black on black crime replaced black ppl united. A step back would be when it was legal to be segregated. A step back would be b4 several black ppl decided to make a change including Rosa, Martin, and Malcolm. A step back would be when a black man would get crucified for even looking at a white woman! A step back would be when white ppl would have a pick-a-”n”..heard of that one? Where a black person would be hung from a tree and white ppl would sit at the picnic table beneath them and laugh and enjoy their meal! Or better yet, the way they used to catch alligators: steal black babies in the night from their cribs, tie a rope around their little bodies, and throw them in the water where the alligators would come and swallow them whole. Now that was just a few examples of taking “steps back.”

@ earlwinfrey I feel you all the way on your views.We are the only people on the Planet that uses a stereotyped word to en-power them self with.This is insane and we cant see it.Call a Jew for example something negative and they will shut you down but the key thing here they don’t use that word of negativity to call each other as a term of endearment. You have “blacks” calling themselves niggas or n****rs all day long but as soon as someone white say it they don’t have the right to.F**k that he got as much right to say what he want to say just as anyone else if you want to identify yourself with that title.According to what I hear with my own ears most people of color identify themselves to the word so whats the big deal.

Learn about getting your Political status up “Moors”

I never liked this “Black Wantabe” semi-jazz guitars anyway. He just got too “familiar” with too many “Black” people kissing his ass!!! Just another “Honkie” making money off the BLACK sound. From the blues, jazz, R&B, “Rap”, country, gospel, etc.,. We create it, they steal it. Black people should “boycott” his fake motherf**ker.

Who cares…he’s a nobody anyway.

WHAT THE F**K ZOE SALDANA NOT BLACK SHES SPANISH WTF GET HER OUT OF THAT CATEGORY

HMMMM JOHN MAYER WAS JUST EXPLAINING WHAT SOMEONE SAID HOW THE F**K IS HE A RACIST ???? WOW EVERYONE NEED HELP SURE HE WAS WRONG FOR SAYIN THE N WORD BUT AT THE END HE WAS EXPLAININ WHAT SOMEONE SAID

[...] leap up and snap and bark and growl at our enemies, real and perceived, because they called us the N-Word or nappy headed hoes or reminded a crowd that came to laugh and enjoy themselves how years ago, [...]

I like his first big hit…”Your Body’s A Wonderland”…I’ve never bought none of his stuff.Damn sure wouldn’t run out and buy$ any of it now.First of all I don’t think it’s cool for any WHITE person…to be runnin’around saying the “N word” in any capacity.On the job one day this young white boy had the nerve to say…”What’s Up My Nigga”.I had to tell him don’t you ever,as long as you live call me out side my name.I don’t know what other black person allowed him to get away with that…but he’s eventually gonna run across the wrong one!…and that person may give more than a verbal warning.

[...] leap up and snap and bark and growl at our enemies, real and perceived, because they called us the N-Word or nappy headed hoes or reminded a crowd that came to laugh and enjoy themselves how years ago, [...]

Black people can complain all day long when it comes to the N word but do nothing for themselves to stop using it. It’s ok to call women B’s and Hoes but not anyone outside the Race oh that’s wrong Only We can do it! Pathetic. Stop complaining. If you’re not willing to clean up your own act DON’T COMPLAIN WHEN OTHERS DO THE SAME AS YOU. Stop talking illiterate, stop writing like you are in grade school. (What dat is…who Dem… what kind of language is that. no wonder the un-employment rate for Blacks in the US is an astonishing 12%. Don’t blame others, Blame yourselves.

why should white people respect us when we dont respect each other?????

LIKE I SAID IN THE LAST POST ABOUT HIM F**K THIS CRACKA IF HE GOT THE NUTS TO TALK S**T ABOUT BLACK WOMEN AND USE THE N WORD THEN I HAVE A RIGHT TO CALL HIM A CRACKA. IM TIRED OF WHITE PEOPLE POPPIN S**T ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE THEN THEY GO SWAGGA JACK US.

I agree with SoularFlarez that word is sayed so much,how can we expect other races not to think it is shameful to say. Some guys you the n-word in all day conversation mixed company or not. Listen to some rap songs. Remember now all races are buying and listening to this.He’s not the first and he probably won’t be the the last. Until we stop using that word we can begin to expect this.

As far as the remark about about his David Duke c**k, if you haven’t read the interview go read it because they took it out of context and the media isn’t telling you everything that was said. Read what he said about Kerry Washington and other black actresses,and how he is going to date outside his c**k.

CMON BLACK PEOPLE GOT TO STAND UP. WHITE PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH TO MUCH S**T. LOOK AT MARV ALBERT THIS DUDE ACTULLY BIT AND SEXUALLY ASSULTED A WOMEN AND HE STILL TELEVISING NBA GAMES LIKE ITS ALL GOOD BUT VICK HAD TO GO TO JAIL FOR FIGHTING DOGS?

Soular Flarez, we do respect each other. We just don’t look for white people’s approval and we don’t gauge ourselves by what white people want us to be. We are black people. We don’t have to kiss anyone’s ass to get along with them. White people don’t respect us because they hate us. Plain and Simple. You need to stop brown nosing them honkeys. You are not black anyway. You don’t respect yourself. Speak for yourself and don’t put all black people into one category.

John Mayer is a closet homosexual and he knows it. He is not even that good of a musician. At least he does not copy black people, but maybe he should. His songs are whack and gay as hell. Mayer is a f**kboy. White girls don’t like John Mayer either because Mayer has a small p***s.

WOW! Saying the N word is not ok for anyone.

who cares about John mayer. Just another ignorant white boy. AND WHEN ARE PEOPLE GUNNA REALIZE THAT ZOE SALDANA IS NOT BLACK, SHE’S DOMINICAN! lol

Saying black people shouldn’t get respect because we don’t respect ourselve is the very reason y white people feel like they can keep calling us n****rs. They put us down and then ignorant black people go along with it. Now how are we ever going to move forward with that menatlity?? Would u really just tell another person period to disrespect u? No… so why even go there.

This is how I feel about the situation…it’s just a word. Just like “bytch” or “hoe”. That word means nothing to me. If someone calls me that, I will call them one right back and keep it moving. It don’t offend me or insult me or nothing. What really trips me out is the fact that black ppl, in which the word was intended for, take the word and embrace it by degrading each other and themselves with the same word. But then have the audacity to get mad when white ppl still call us that. Call them one and keep it moving. Why let it piss you off? Makes no sense to me.

We need to quit pi*ssin about this N-word bidness…WE use it more than anyone….next!!!

Monte_Brown What the hell are you talking about. Boy you went way off the mark with that whole gay s**t and the brown nosing crap. GET HELP

@msveevee1

You are definitely speaking the truth unlike some of the black leaders who are ranting about John Mayer. They do not even speak for me or anybody who have common sense to see through the bs. Have anybody notices the majority of rappers have not say much on John Mayer using the N word lately. Interesting.

you guys need to get real….what should bother you is this man compared himself to David Duke…I repeat DAVID DUKE…the KKK member, the white supremacist, and the separatist that thinks the black race is the most inferior race on the planet…what are the black leaders to do sit down and say nothing and condone it like some of you on here? UGH…let me explain again…the BS THAT YOU DON’T SEE THROUGH it’s really not evevn about the ‘n-word’ but when some of these rappers are saying it they are talking about an individual…john mayer…this fool mentions our entire race and specifically black women in a derogatory way…’he needs a hood pass’? what is a hood pass? his assumption being that all of us ‘live in the hood’…AGAIN.. african-americans live ALL OVER THE WORLD…number 1..number 2…he’s a white guy that compared himself..or apart of himself as a WHITE RACIST SEPARATIST that hasn’t been active in over 20 years…funny because it had to be off the top of his head (no pun intended)…so this proves to me not only what he feels about you as a woman, but a black woman, and black people in general!! and i’ll say it again…because this pisses me the hell off…all these black celebrities that are condoning this fool…(thank god no rappers are) are either self loathing, stupid, ignorant, and just sell outs to condone something like this on the very same people that LOOK LIKE THEM (or at least used to!!!) and made them famous… only to turn around and insult you!! john mayer singled out a whole race of people…

everyone is always dumping on us black women. but i am not really mad. i do not desire men like mayer. but…

Why make these comments if he truly believes he has a sizable, black audience?! But really it’s black men’s fault (like these ghetto types)…

They do not even love the women who raised them alone. And enjoy publicly insulting us. While chasing white folks like the retarded slave they are…

Where are the strong, black men to lean on in our time of needs? And as long as dumb, blk women (you know who you are) excuse their behavior, it will continue. This bw is steering clear of the drama and the low lifes.

Hey heres some advice f what he’s talking bout cause john mayer sounds whack for that comment, get ur money up stay clear from the bs in life if u can and lets try and get through these tough times going on.

quit b***hing about the use of the N word?

and say what….black people use it more than white?

tell me ur in lala land because none of my family nor relatives ever use that word…not even my brother and he has friends in the hood.

just because a few rappers from america uses the N word…. that dont speak for all black people in the entire world….thats just STUPID!! to think like that muchless post a comment like that.

who in the hell is this trash bag john mayer? i never seen him before in my life. i would like to see if his “hood pass” is still activated when he take his ass to the hood using that word. what a f**king loser

@stacyanne23 im with you 110%. the N word ending in “-er” or “-a” is not even apart of my vocabulary. so no, not all black people use those N words. when you use those words in front of white people or kids, you are setting a bad example and bad name for yourself and black people. the people who invented the word are the same ones that are banned from saying it now. so why are you using it? its just as bad as when john mayer said it. any way formal, informal or in slang use, the word is derogatory!

Whatever let him say whatever. I don’t like this dude anyway. Black people use it whatever. It is what it is.

THE N WORD DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING UNLESS YOU ASSOCIATE YOURSELF TO THIS WORD… WHO INVENTED THIS N WORD IN THE FIRST PLACE? AND WHAT WAS THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS N WORD? WAS IT NOT TO DEGRADE A RACE OF PEOPLE? TO KEEP THEM UN-CONTROL AND IN SOME TYPE OF SLAVERY… I FOR ONE DO NOT ASSOCIATE MYSELF TO NEGATIVE THINGS… I AM A CHILD OF GOD AND I DON’T EXCEPT NEGAVITE LABELS AT… AS FAR AS DATING A WHITE MAN… PERSONALLY I THINK THEY ALL STINK… AND I COULD NEVER NEVER TOLERATE THE WAY THEY SMELL… BUT TO EACH HIS OR HER OWN…

The N-word is a hot topic but I think in this case it is getting him too much press. There is no way to know which white person says it and how behind closed doors so do not get upset. The only time to get upset is when it is being used towards you. As for white society, white people need to understand one black does not speak for all. Just because you and your black friends have an understanding with you or told you that you have a “hood-pass”(which means nothing) does not mean blacks across the world had a meeting and accepted you into some club.
