John Mayer is Ridiculous

Official Ridiculousness Below:

1. Ridiculous attempt at "intellectualizing" the N-word

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.'"

2. Ridiculous attempt at defining what it means to be black

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.

3. Ridiculous attempt at apologizing for how incredibly ridiculous he is

I am sorry that I used the word. And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged.


Sometimes, and in the case of John Mayer, all the time, it's better to just be quiet. "Oh I'm never speaking up again, starting noowwww"
