John Mayer probably has no racist feelings whatsoever. His comments were an extremely misguided attempt to get away from his wuss image and be "edgy."

I'd go further and say that John Mayer probably has no feelings whatsoever. His music seems stale, and planned. All of his emotional stuff, crying on stage, shooting off at the mouth. It's just so...fake. Everything about the guy strikes me as insincere.

Really it's the same thing.

I missed where Mayer had cross-over appeal and had ANY pass. Cross-over appeal would mean that he is liked by a representation of the Black population. Then his music would aire on Michael Baisden's show like Robin Thicke's Cartman sounding self does.
ETA: "Brittney Cooper, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Women's Studies."  Hence the social analysis of Mayer's comments. I agree with her but wish she had saved the good stuff for a more worthy and interesting topic.

Hell, most white people don't even like John Mayer. His music was mediocre at best, and then he stuck it in Jessica Simpson. He needs a human pass, not a hood pass.

Awwww. Not even a white pass?  LOL
I like his music. I feel he received a mainstream pass when "Say What You Mean (?) To Say" was in those commercials. Then sexing Simpson gave him a TMZ and Entertainment Tonight pass.

Ah, but to her it is a worthy and interesting topic (worthy of noting and commenting on for the larger implications; I especially like her comments to Mayer's "defenders"). Of course, she does more "academic" or "serious" work, but she is also about taking these opportunities to comment on pop cultural events in ways that are informed by her training. To me, it's just good scholarly praxis.

If so, then why your initial comment about worthiness and interest?
