mayerapology2010.jpg After saying that his penis was a "white supremacist," dropping the n-word and comparing ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson to crack cocaine, John Mayer is tweeting with his tail between his legs.

Mayer just posted the following apology on Twitter:
    Re: using the 'N word' in an interview: 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. And while I'm using today for looking at myself under harsh light, I think it's time to stop trying to be so raw in interviews...It started as an attempt to not let the waves of criticism get to me, but it's gotten out of hand and I've created somewhat of a monster. I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don't have the stomach for it. Again, because I don't want anyone to think I'm equivocating: I should have never said the word and I will never say it again.


In his interview with Playboy, John said, "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 n***** 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.’"

While it seems as though John's intent wasn't to come off as a racist prick, he didn't do a very good job filtering himself and thinking things through before he spoke to the reporter. We understand that John was trying to make a point, but before he opened his mouth he should have realized that not only is using the n-word inappropriate and disrespectful, but comparing your own problems to the struggle a race has endured throughout the course of history is incredibly short sighted.

And while he's at it, perhaps he should throw in an apology to Jess, Jen and the thousands of other women he's offended? Jess tweeted about two hours ago, "interesting day so far...hmm...at least i am boxing 2-a-days this week." Is it possible we'll get another apology from John today?
