“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey
Singer John Mayer has made a wrong career move by saying something in a interview he should not have said and now his name is dirt in many circles.
In a recent interview he used the “N” word when answering a question about if he gets a “pass” by rappers Jay z and others. Read the article above for my details.
Here is the problem folks. Some people get to relaxed and use this word when they should not. And Mayer for sure should not have used that word.
The question is why did he use it? I wonder how many African American friends Mayer has? I wonder if Mayer has spent anytime in the black community?
What made him use the “N” word. What made him so relaxed so he can use that word folks? Now he is saying he is sorry to everyone but actress Holly Robinson-Peete and others ain’t going for it. She feels like myself that he is not sincere.
He needs to go on the air on Rev Al Sharpton’s radio show or on Larry King or Mo’niques talk show on BET and REALLY explain himsef in detail as to why he used that word.
Until then I will not be happy for him using that word. And I join many others who feel the same way.
