John Mayer's David Duke problem.

Never heard of him saw a couple of videos and if he is as horrible in bed with white women as he sings, what in the world makes him think a black woman would want him? And, just what black people follow this no talent hack? But, this is 2010 and white folks seem to feel its the right time to let their racial, mental health issues of hate flow as freely as they want, he'll be forgiven by them in no time.

Wow -- and to think I used to like John Mayer -- of course I didn't know anything about him other than his music.

After these comments I want to know where is the black rapp community speaking out on this? That statement about his David Duke d%#k is equivalent to saying, "Yes of course I like black people, I have black friends, but I certainly wouldn't want my daughter to bring one home.

I can't even cut JM any need to grow-up slack. He's already a grown a$$ man in his 30's.

I'm waiting to hear from the black rappers who have worked with Mayer according to this article (Jay-Z, Common, Kayne) -- where y'all at?

Mayer obviously does not have the mental, emotional, intellectual or physical heft to command the respect or attention of even the simplest black woman. What a thinks he's too cool a-hole.

Simple solution for this rodent: Boycott!! Our community doesn't need the likes of him. Hit him in his tired pocketbook.

are you saying a white man can't be a blues guitarist...that is confusing

I never got into John Mayer and i don't get the the attaction from rappers. But then again, i could say the same about Justin Timberlake.

I blame PLAYBOY magazine for this trashy interview. The questions by the interviewer are stupid. Why would they even print something like this is beyond me. Don't know who David Mayer is, and don't want to.

You apparently disagree with John Mayer not wanting to date black women but do you also attack Reggie Bush, Lamar Odom, OJ Simpson, Quency Jones, Lionel Ritchie, Michael Jackson and a plethora of black men sports stars and entertainment stars for the same attitude? It seems like every multimillion dollar sports or entertainment contract comes with a white woman as an added perk. Mayers use of the "N" word was inappropriate but so is it's use by tons of black rappers and many black people. Have you called them out?

What JM's comments demonstrate is that here is a white man who is attracted to women of color but the racism he has learned has left shackles on his head such that he would not date a black woman. Ain't nothing like good ole' American racism! What an idiot. He needs to figure it out. The man is sick.

Dean,
Did you read Mayer's PB interview?

You're talking apples and oranges in trying to compare black male interracial relationships with the controversy surrounding JM.

Mayer's said he "not open" to dating black women because he has "white supremacist David Duke c#@k." Eliminating an entire race of people from dating pool on the grounds that you're a "white supremacist" when it comes to dating and sex is whole different kettle of fish than being a black man dating or married to a white women or vice versa for black women who are married to or dating white men.

The issue with Mayer is not his dating preferences. The issue is the racist attitude that apparently informs his dating pattern. And trust me -- if JM thought he half a chance to get with any one of the millions of beautiful black women who grace the planet -- he'd be on it like white on rice. From what I've read about him since this controversy arose he strikes me as a terribly insecure person with the emotional maturity of a 13 year old.

But to your point -- I don't think we can say Reggie, Lamar, OJ, Quincy, Lionel or Michael are with white women because they are white supremacists or even that they are not open to dating black women. Lionel Richie and OJ Simpson were at one time married to black women. I am in no way trying to defend these men being with white women I'm simply saying that comparing it to the John Mayer situation is not appropos.

Jeff Winbush... you really couldnt find anything else to write about? good god man

Malcolm X on Zionism By Malcolm X – From The Egyptian Gazette Sept 17, 1964 via ICH.com The Zionist armies that now occupy Palestine claim their ancient Jewish prophets predicted that in the "last days of this world" their own God would raise them up a "messiah" who would lead them to their promised land, and they would set up their own "divine" government in this newly-gained land, this "divine" government would enable them to "rule all other nations with a rod of iron." If the Israeli Zionists believe their present occupation of Arab Palestine is the fulfillment of predictions made by their Jewish prophets, then they also religiously believe that Israel must fulfill its "divine" mission to rule all other nations with a rod of irons, which only means a different form of iron-like rule, more firmly entrenched even, than that of the former European Colonial Powers. These Israeli Zionists religiously believe their Jewish God has chosen them to replace the outdated European colonialism with a new form of colonialism, so well disguised that it will enable them to deceive the African masses into submitting willingly to their "divine" authority and guidance, without the African masses being aware that they are still colonized. CAMOUFLAGE The Israeli Zionists are convinced they have successfully camouflaged their new kind of colonialism. Their colonialism appears to be more "benevolent," more "philanthropic," a system with which they rule simply by getting their potential victims to accept their friendly offers of economic "aid," and other tempting gifts, that they dangle in front of the newly-independent African nations, whose economies are experiencing great difficulties. During the 19th century, when the masses here in Africa were largely illiterate it was easy for European imperialists to rule them with "force and fear," but in this present era of enlightenment the African masses are awakening, and it is impossible to hold them in check now with the antiquated methods of the 19th century. The imperialists, therefore, have been compelled to devise new methods. Since they can no longer force or frighten the masses into submission, they must devise modern methods that will enable them to manouevre the African masses into willing submission. The modern 20th century weapon of neo-imperialism is "dollarism." The Zionists have mastered the science of dollarism: the ability to come posing as a friend and benefactor, bearing gifts and all other forms of economic aid and offers of technical assistance. Thus, the power and influence of Zionist Israel in many of the newly "independent" African nations has fast-become even more unshakeable than that of the 18th century European colonialists... and this new kind of Zionist colonialism differs only in form and method, but never in motive or objective. At the close of the 19th century when European imperialists wisely foresaw that the awakening masses of Africa would not submit to their old method of ruling through force and fears, these ever-scheming imperialists had to create a "new weapon," and to find a "new base" for that weapon. DOLLARISM The number one weapon of 20th century imperialism is zionist dollarism, and one of the main bases for this weapon is Zionist Israel. The ever-scheming European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world, infiltrate and sow the seed of dissension among African leaders and also divide the Africans against the Asians. Zionist Israel's occupation of Arab Palestine has forced the Arab world to waste billions of precious dollars on armaments, making it impossible for these newly independent Arab nations to concentrate on strengthening the economies of their countries and elevate the living standard of their people. And the continued low standard of living in the Arab world has been skillfully used by the Zionist propagandists to make it appear to the Africans that the Arab leaders are not intellectually or technically qualified to lift the living standard of their people ... thus, indirectly "enducing" Africans to turn away from the Arabs and towards the Israelis for teachers and technical assistance. "They cripple the bird's wing, and then condemn it for not flying as fast as they." The imperialists always make themselves look good, but it is only because they are competing against economically crippled newly independent countries whose economies are actually crippled by the Zionist-capitalist conspiracy. They can't stand against fair competition, thus they dread Gamal Abdul Nasser's call for African-Arab Unity under Socialism. MESSIAH? If the "religious" claim of the Zionists is true that they were to be led to the promised land by their messiah, and Israel's present occupation of Arab Palestine is the fulfillment of that prophesy: where is their messiah whom their prophets said would get the credit for leading them there? It was Ralph Bunche who "negotiated" the Zionists into possession of Occupied Palestine! Is Ralph Bunche the messiah of Zionism? If Ralph Bunche is not their messiah, and their messsiah has not yet come, then what are they doing in Palestine ahead of their messiah? Did the Zionists have the legal or moral right to invade Arab Palestine, uproot its Arab citizens from their homes and seize all Arab property for themselves just based on the "religious" claim that their forefathers lived there thousands of years ago? Only a thousand years ago the Moors lived in Spain. Would this give the Moors of today the legal and moral right to invade the Iberian Peninsula, drive out its Spanish citizens, and then set up a new Moroccan nation ... where Spain used to be, as the European zionists have done to our Arab brothers and sisters in Palestine?... In short the Zionist argument to justify Israel's present occupation of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history ... not even in their own religion. Where is their Messiah?

Great info. I like all your post. I will keep visiting this blog very often. It is good to see you verbalize from the heart and your clarity on this important subject can be easily observed.

I think you guys are over reacting. I'm a black woman and I didn't take offense. He's basically saying that he doesn't look automatically at black women and think about dating them. I don't automatically look at white men and think of dating them. Its something I have to open my mind to. Its not like he said he couldn't he just said he hadn't yet.

The facts are shocking, the stakes unquestionably are huge, it truly is hard to speak about and even tougher to deal with it. Technologies, guidance, communication... each of them compete with human nature. In addition to each and every scenario is unique.

Superb information here, ol'e chap; keep burning the mnidihgt oil.

Wait.... A few episodes ago Ned was smoking something... Now he's hungry enough to eat like 8 food cans... HES GOT? THE MUNCHIES!!
