Singer gets big backlash over bad word
We read:
"Tearful John Mayer broke down on stage following a global backlash over race comments and revealing intimate details of his sex life with ex-lover Jessica Simpson.
Mayer stopped his track ‘Gravity’ halfway through a concert in Nashville, Tennesse last night as the backlash from his recent Playboy interview – in which he used the word “n****r” and described sleeping with Simpson as "sexual napalm" - and like “a drug” got to him.
Apologising to his bandmates and fans, he tearfully said: “I quit the media game. I’m out. I’m done. I just want to play my guitar. “I fell into a wormhole of selfishness, greediness and arrogance. In the quest to be clever, forgot about the people who love me and that I love." He then returned to playing the guitar solo for the song after a lengthy pause.
The outspoken star also took to his twitter page to apologise to fans for using the racial slur.

It's an evident token of cultural conditioning: We tolerate (encourage?) Western society being overrun, ignore ethnic violence when whites are victims, then break down in tears at the thought of uttering a two-syllable word that's deemed offensive.
The divergence is seen by comparing the Jena Six affair in which six black students viciously beat a single white classmate. Did anyone cry in remorse? Nope. They rallied — 20,000 strong — in the support of the black racists. Then, the Jena Six were honored at the Black Entertainment Network Awards show.
That's not to fault the sensitivities of John Mayer. It's to rue the lack of reciprocation when whites are victims of far more serious offenses.
It's funny how the mainstream media is only covering the race comment.
I found more outrageous stuff, I was going to print it but then I decided it might be obscene.
Basically, John Mayer compares his penis to David Duke and said he french kissed Perez Hilton to "outgay him."

I think Mayer is out of his freaking mind.
Very well said Endiana, and right on the money! Your honesty is appreciated, at least by me.
As for John Mayer, personally, i've never heard of him. I don't know who he is or what he does, and i'm sure i don't care about either. But i sure wouldn't mind meeting the lovely woman with the fake breasts pictured next to him. Also IMO, although he may be a male, he can't be much of a man if he feels it necessary to go around bragging about his "alleged" sexual exploits with his former girlfriend, which are probably exaggerations anyway.
As for using the word nigger. My personal feeling is, if blacks can use it as every other word in a sentence, then why should i, or anyone else, be afraid to use it. It has become a word that "some groups" use to "claim" they've been offended simply to get sympathy, attention, but mostly, other peoples money.

Very well said Endiana,"
You're welcome!
Didn't care before he said it. Didn't care after he said it.
Don't care now.
He's here today, gone tomorrow, leaving a couple of nice songs that won't stand the test of time.
Didn't he liken sex with Jessica Simpson to a drug...
it gives you a wild thrill, sucks you in, and destroys brain cells.
