After acknowledging his penis as a “white supremacist” and dropping the n-word being the classy man that he is John Mayer has issued an apology via twitter:

RE: Using the N-word in the 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 atemt 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.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview with John and the interviewer going back and forth:

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 nigg*** 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.”

OK John we’re pretty shocked by your mouth today. You definitley need to reel it in and say what you really mean because we’re not going to sit back and just listen to all your babble BS.
