Recently Pop sensation John Mayer stated in an interview with playboy magazine that black people love him and he should be given a hood pass.
While explaining the meaning of a hood pass, Mayer said, "It's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass."..say what???
So now, he retracted his statement and issued an apology via twitter“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.”
