Smart and snarky, we love it!

Can't take the heat, John?

People should react when someone uses the N word but Perez you call women whores and sluts everyday. These words should be banned as well.
Time to move on who cares. We love John Mayer and his music….period!

The man did Justice for the Boss. John Mayer you are a legend!
WOW, WTF!! IS EBERT ON HIS DEATH BED? JUST A FEW YRS AGO WAS WATCHING THAT LAME FILM REVIEW SHOW OF HIS… HE LOOKS 90 HERE. SMFH.
Aw, gotta love roger ebert lol!
John Mayer is right!!!
People just need to stop letting words have so much control over them. Who cares if he prefers white meat.
Re: DeadlyNightshade – Very true. He throws a fit if someone is derogatory towards gays but it's okay to call every woman a whore and a slut.
Perez, shut the fuck up and get over it already you fat hypocrital pig.
John Mayer is sexy!
I'm not racist and don't agree with they way he used his words but people can not be attracted to a certain race, it's normal.
Re: xcalibur –
Roger Ebert had a battle with, I think, tongue cancer. He had part of his lower jaw removed so he wears that drapey thing to cover the after math.
Re: jaybb23 – I agree LOVE IS LOVE black or white.
LOL
White guys are nice to look at. But there's nothing special about them. They strike me to be quite crazy lol. And at times smelly. Latinos are hot, African American maybe but white guys relationship wise? Nah. You like what you like I guess.
Umm, of course John Mayer and everyone else in the free world has right to like whomever they choose, however……….. HE DID NOT have to say it in such a ridiculously obnoxious, not to mention completely racially insensitive manner!!! For Christ's sake, you like who like, but don't bring friggin David Duke into the equation, you jack ass. Most people have the good sense to keep that shiz to themselves. Why offend an entire demographic, who by the way, probably weren't into you anyway!!!!
Carlops54. Right about what? Being apologetic or naming all those gorgeous black women? Both I guess.
Omg, that was such a cute reply. Thanks Roger!
Re: xcalibur – he has throat cancer you fucking idiot.
He also had a tweet about my brother's restaurant and how he would never eat there…. www.themoneyshotchicago.com
As far as I'm concerned he should stick to reviewing movies and not much else.
aww he loves and defends his love for chocolate you go boy! LOL !
Ppl who use t..w.itter are self indulgent twats anyway. Yes, that includes, mayer, mario and this guy too.
i'm attracted to my race 99% of the time. that doesn't make me racist.
but yea…the way john worded it was rude….
i don't think he's racist though.
"smart and snarky" — hmm. That sure beats the "stupid and evil" we're getting from Internet cockroach Perez Hilton on this site these days.
Gotta love Roger.
So happy for Robert & wife… Honestly, anyone who says stuff like John Mayer already reveals themselves as the complete morons they are. This is the guy who wrote Daughters? Maybe he should shut up for a long while…he might have a daughter who will read his sad comments one day.
Oh my Lord! I really don't understand what the big deal is. People have preferences. Lots of Latinos prefer Latinos. Some black guys like white girls. Some people don't like red hair. My boyfriend is Filipino and thinks white girls are the most attractive. Everyone's preference is different. Why do people care about this, like literally?
Exactly. I aint worried about Johnny boy, there are PLENTY of white men including men of other nationalities in my area that LOVE them some brown sugar. Whateva!
He should have said: What's the useless peice of skin hanging off Perez's dick?
John Mayer.
Oh fuck is that Ebert? Oh damn he must look major nasty to hide his neck like that.
Re: jaybb23 – I myself am glad John came on out and admitted that. I have always thought he was so fucking sexy and kind of dug his douchey ass but not anymore. He WILL loose his black female fans if there ever were any.
word salad
I did not care for John's comments. I don't think he met to be hurtful or disrespectful his thoughts were just very poorly phrased. I definitely don't think he is a racist. But, people are people no matter what the color. You like what you like….and I like them all
Wow, what a witty remark on Ebert's end!
I only hope that more Hollywood folks openly chastise Mayer for his brutally offensive language. But eh, his career is (hopefully) over with already.
To me HOT IS HOT Black or White. I love HOT men.
STFU douche-nozzle.
So what if John isn't into black chicks. This whole slam John thing is ridiculous. Not everyone is into dark meat - or for that matter yellow or red. I am a white girl and i have zero attraction toward black guys because to me they don't look good. I only date white guys actually. So does that make me racist? AND I guess if i don't go out with fat guys either it means I'm a "fatist." haha. So WHAT if some folks only like to fuck white people! SO WHAT! IT'S OK TO HAVE PREFERENCES. I PERSONALLY FIND SOME GUYS OF CERTAIN RACES TOTALLY UNATTRACTIVE. SO THERE!
John Mayer only wanting to have sex with white women is no different than Ebert or Robert De niro only having sex with black women. It is called personal preference not racism. It is just what an individual is attracted to. SO WHAT!
i didnt even know he was married. wow! cool!
I love Roger Ebert. He is my hero
nice faces
I like how Mayer is now crying like a 'wittle boy' cos people are being mean to him. Too funny. Total Looser ! Arrogant Vanilla twit !
Oh Jesus Christ on a bike, some people are missing the point here. It may be okay to have preferences (yes everyone has them), it may be okay to be a douche, it may even be okay to be a total effing asshole - but if you say something in such a despicably douchy way, that is completely unnecessary and offensive……..guess what, you're going get shit for it, and deservedly so. Meanwhile - as if any black chicks would like his doofus ass anyway!!!! He needs to get a grip.
we all have our preferences but John should just think before he speaks. i know the guy isnt racist. he just gets too carried away in interviews trying to sound "raw".
and perez i know that you dont give a SHIT about him using the N word and offending people. you are just happy that hes in this situation..you are a freaking asshole. and whatever vendetta you have for John has gotten pretty pathetic.
and you are the LAST person on this universe that could judge anyone. LEAVE JOHN ALONE.
Can't take the heat for WHAT?? You spew hate every day. John has a right to his opinion and has a right to his preferences as to who he finds sexually attractive. Only difference is he can state his stance, offer an apology and let it go. And you really are watching how often he tweets?? What a sick fuck you are Mario. He. Does. Not. Want. You. Deal with it like an adult.
You are such a dumb ass fat fuck perez. Go and fucking die you piece of shit leech on society! You have no talents or intelligence at all, you merely make a living by leeching off other peoples fame and misery like a whore. GO AND DIE PEREZ!!
it really doesn't bother me that he doesnt like black girls(fact being if i seen him walking down the street i wouldnt glance at him twice) it was the way he said it i mean why did he have to be so degrading about it(my dick is a white supremacist) wtf is that.
why would i want your dick to be attracted to me anyways i mean to have a preference is one thing but you dont gotta be nasty about it. btw im kinda over the whole thing the man is sorry leave it alone
Did anyone read the part where he said he was going to date separately from what his "little guy" wanted. I seem to be the only one who understands. If you had asked me 10 years ago if I would ever date a white guy I would have told you hell know. I have now been married 3 years…to a white guy.
Dude was simply stating that he had only dated people according to physical attraction and not gotten to know a person and letting things evolve from there. That physical attraction happened to be with only white women.
Elbert
and John Mayer can go fuck himself am pretty sure that's the only sex he's going to be getting for a long time. And no am not black so don't even borther commenting that am too sensitive or whatever.
This is what happened, John tried to be witty, and he justt had a wrong choice of words, he is NOT racist. He tried and failed to explain that he likes white women. Thats just what he likes, saying that THAT'S RACIST IS ABSURD. He already apologized for it. What the hell is wrong with you people?
Re: PerezTheBlogNazi – do you have typing diarreah? The guy had cancer and had to get his lower jaw removed…so research before you hate.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE. It's one thing to not think before you speak, but it takes time to type and then click submit…RESEARCH!
I don't think he's racist, just very goofy like an inbreed. It's so sad when people's family trees don't have enough btanches. LOL He said he's not attracted to black women physically but he wants to date separately from what his dick wants? Good luck getting a hot black chick now. He didn't have much of a chance before but now his lame, douchy ass can kick rocks. LMFAOROTF
Mayer…such an idiot! You would think he would censor his comments!
no one cares anymore
Re: PerezTheBlogNazi – Hey girl where have you been? God I have missed you. I have an AA SIL and Mayer don't know what he is missing. But, that's his choice! Whateves! I hope I run into you again. I hope
all is well. We are frozen in the Midwest. Hey, sis was on a business trip in DT and flights were cancelled left and right. She was trying to go to Atlanta for another meeting. How do you all like the snow? And my sis in New York is like frozen! Yikes we need some sunshine.
He should have not compared this dick to a white supremacist or said he had an N pass, period, end of story. If you don't like to date outside of your race fine, but don't degrade or single out an entire group of women because of it.
Especially women that are fans of yours, I deleted my Pandora station of JM and I won't be listening to his CD's either and I really liked his music not him physically. I don't think he is a racist but an idiot and that has no regard for my demographic anyway, so I won't be supporting him.
Hey Rog! Missin' you at Rancho. Still droolin'?
Well played, Roger.
Hey Perez, I wrote to you about a year ago saying what an amazing artist Michael Franti (who is now opening for John Mayer) was and how you needed to cover him and his message of love and peace. I know John Mayer is immature, and in denial of his sexuality….but you could turn this thing around. You need to focus on Michael Franti….he is the most amazing musician…he spreads the message of one love, and of peace and of treating everyone the same. John Mayer is SOOOOO very lucky to have this talented and peaceful man opening for him and hopefully he will gain a little humility, perspective and grounding while touring with Michael. You have the power with your website to shine some well deserved light on this amazing musician….he may not be wifey GaGa, but I guarantee he will be a huge entertainer of our time. Love you Perez…stay true and grounded. Your loyal fan of 7 years…Gayle
Re: Paris France – Hey Sheba I miss you ALOT az well!
I dont come here too often anymore. This website has become pretty wack and Ive been surfing elsewhere. I will come back and comment on any article I feel is worth my comment but other than that Perez and his website can suck a big one.
As always great running into you! You and Notradamus are the only peeps I run into these days and this site is so full of mindless morons tryin their damnedest to be clever, pft.
Re: Paris France – Oh yeah, here in Texas we had the record highest amount of snow since 1978! Can you believe that?!?! Any snow here in Texas is already a rare sight but we were experiencing about a foot of snow which is alot down here. Me and my son made 2 snow men, pretty damn fun! That was Thursday, started to let up Friday and started to melt alot today. Great weather for sitting inside sipping a hot beverage whether it be spiked or plain hot cocoa. How about Apple Cider…YUM!
Re: kenyasmom – Uhhhhh, what tha fuck are you talkin about?!?! I never typed anything in ANY paragragh above hating on Roger Ebert, ARE YOU RETARDED?
roger ebert is still alive? well, he should STFU!!
1.) True does not = snarky/smart.
2.) The statement was true.
3.) Don't see anything snarky.
4.) Don't see anything particularly over the top smart.
5) I do agree 1000% with Roger's statement.
I doubt black women across America are sad about the fact that John Mayer doesn't want to date them. The guy is a tool and a douchebag and girls of ANY race should just avoid this lame excuse of a human being.
WAY TO GO MR.EBERT! DAMN, HE EVEN TAP OPRAH!?!
Roger Ebert is my new hero.
John Mayer is a straight up racist misogynistic homophobe. There are times when a person offends on so many levels, it’s hard to know where and how to begin addressing their assiness. Just when I thought Mayer had made his most offensive remark, it kept getting worse and worse.
Re: xcalibur – he's a really sick man. you just made a real ass of yourself
Great response Roger. His wife has stayed by his side and cared for him the entire time he was dying! He has recovered, and she is still there. They really love each other. I think Black women are some of the most gorgeous women on earth…
Ugh!! What's wrong w/ Ebert's face?? Was he in a fire or something. Looks weird…
i farted in perez's lung.
to roger ebert regarding black women: their attitude. that's why black men prefer white women.
John Mayer is silly period. What's really sad is the only man willing to stand up for black women after such a quote is Roger Ebert. And for all of you whom say black women have an attitude…guess who we deal with BLACK MEN! So for all you dumb non-black ladies who think its black women guess again. But you will soon find out for yourselves why black women have an attitude! Enjoy!
by the way..the only remark that must have been hurtful to read was the one about perez. perez he totally used you when he kissed you …and was very disgusted by you… now that must have hurt right? guess thats why you are so biased against him..
Re: ice blue chicago – I wouldn't eat there, either. The menu is a mess. But, my taste is a bit more refined than "bottomless spaghetti."
Re: veggiecat999 – Lol i get what your saying,but it was the way he said it ,it was very disrespectful ,but i dont think hes racist though ,i just think hes a douche.
I think it was a publicity scheme for him to say that! But just so folks know I dont think many black woman even think of John Mayer at all, sexually or any way. I have to say he makes me think of "Jocks" who hate gays when they secretly want to be gay. Attraction is not about color if your not attracted to a race YOU JUST HAVENT MET THE RIGHT PERSON YET! To John Mayer Live a little and grow up!!!!!! Please for everyone.
I agree with DeadlyNightshade, Perez you spew such hate towards women every day! If you dont like someone, you point out tiny cellulite dimples, say she's fat, or pale and needs to get a tan, or to lay off the fake tan etc. Your misogyny could be viewed as a bigger issue than whether John Mayer thinks he is 'black' enough to comment on black issues like he knows what he is talking about. Except no one in the media has confronted you about it. Maybe the ladies of the view should all gang up on you next and get you to stop spewing all your hateful bile all over your blog.
John Mayer did not engage brain before mouth. That is a given. However, he is being interviewed by PLAYBOY(!!!) magazine, not People. Bookending his interview will be tits and clunge, so saying who he likes to stick it in is going to feature heavily in this interview. He should have phrased the whole 'I dont fck black women' thing a bit better. Or lied, so that this would not be such a big deal.
To each their own, his thing is big and black and desperate
I just think John Mayer didnt explain himself very well, i dont like the guy very much he plays good music thats where it ends. John Mayer just stated what he preferred, i dont think he intended to be racist. For example some people prfer blondes over brunettes, or curvy over slim. I just think the guy needs to shut up and not talk anymore about his sex life and his opinions about controversial subjects because frankly no one cares
I myself think both black and white are attractive
Why is it rascist to say you dont find a certain race sexually attractive?
Everyone has preferance over what kind of person they go for…be it tall,short,light,dark,thin…..you get the point….
I mean i think is Mayer is a bit of a twat…but thats about it..
Re: dovenyc – Exactly! Let them find out about black men for themselves. LOL There is nothing wrong with having a preference. Everyone has one. JM is not a racist, just lame. I was never a fan of his so I coudn't care leess. I think this is hilarious. Goofys don't know what to say out of their mouths and then when you're not interested they get mad and say something racist. Society told them they were superior but reality bites. LMFAO I'm multiracial so I look past race. A good man is a good man. I don't have time for feeble-minded men of any race.
Looks like John Mayer is doing a nice job of waiting on the world to change…

I may be throwing fuel on an already well-lit fire, but I'm getting pretty heated myself by some of the negative assessments being made about black women. Honestly, the best-looking women in Hollywood are black. Rihanna, Halle Berry, Beyonce, Alicia Keys etc. I cannot think of ONE white (or other ethnicity) woman that has a face as pretty as say Beyonce's.
Some people have commented that black women have a chip on their shoulder and are implying that we're somehow bitter about not being white or wanted by SOME white guys. Ridiculous! I'm black, beautiful and my white boyfriend is gorgeous. What John Mayer said was insensitive. And "just stating an opinion" does not make one's comments exempt from the rules of social decency and respect.
Furthermore, people have the right to have and state their opinion about someone's opinion. Just b/c some people are calling John out on his rudeness does not mean that they are bitter, jealous etc. I'm boggled by the vanity of the non-black posters that would assume that much.
People are saying that it's okay for him to not be attracted to black women.
And they're right. It is okay.
But guess what, motherfuckers:
You don't always get to say everything that's on your mind.
Let's say I start telling people, I don't think white men are intelligent. Or I don't trust Asian people. Or that I think all females are inherently evil. Or that I don't like being around gay people. These are my opinions*. I'm entitled to them, aren't I?
I am, and so is John Mayer. But theirs a reason you don't say such shit in mixed company, not to talk of a fucking internationally distributed magazine.
You're allowed to have your opinions, but sometime you need to learn to keep that shit to yourself.
He should have known better.
*For arguments sake only. These are not my opinions.
[re=4752203]Re: trinigirl123
i cud agree somewhat.
Love Roger Ebert! His writing is so superb. And, I'm not even a movie fan. I don't even watch movies. I just love HIM.
Looks like Roger Ebert found true happiness. His wife seems sweet and very supportive of him. Ebert knows what he is talking about.
Re: veggiecat999 –
CXlealry you do not possess a degree in sociology or any other area that would be relevant to this topic.
I think the point you are missing like a few others, is that his comments were racially infused. why racially? Simply because sociologically his comments were give prefernce to some one based on their skin colour. Would it be right if someone chose another for whatvere position based on their skin colour? No not because government does not regulate areas likethis does not mean to think that way is morally reprehensible.
That was awesome Roger Ebert.
John Mayer learned racist views from some where and acting out on it.
If it smell racist-talk racist-act racist=then it is racist!
Re: GBabes –
hey is this oprah's gayle..if it is you are very cool and i adore you very much…all the best
Roger Ebert is truly amazing and an inspiration. He had salivary gland cancer and has lost his ability to talk, eat and drink. He continues to tell people not to feel sorry for him and still manages to be thankful for life. His wife is wonderful and people in Chicago love him.
Noone cares whether John Mayer likes black or white or green women. Everyone is entitled to their preferences, the damage part was that he thought he was being funny, which he wasnt by comparing his dick to a white supremacist KKK leader. Its tacky and obviously not amusing to anyone, or maybe to the KKK. John Mayer just needs to stop talking period.
Re: Carver09 – agree
I can hardly wait until he admits he is gay!!!!!!!there is nothing masculine about him.
Black women arent pressed for no small dick white man and thats the truth.
Re: mollyfish –
yep another steretype perpetuated by who ..nothing seems to be wrong with michelle obama's attitude.
It's not what John Mayer said, it's how he said it…dammit! Who cares what he likes. We all have our own preferences for crying out loud.
FOR GOD SAKES>>>>>>>…. to each his own, RIGHT PEREZY POOH?????? Who cares what each other likes? It's NOT racist, just who you're attracted to!
mmmmmmmmmmm green
Re: LaffyTaffy –
it does matter you cnnot chaneg the coulour of your skin even temporarily.
at least you could wear heels or colour hair
someone should not be made to feel less than worthy based solely on the colour of their skin that is ludicrous.
i could give two shits who john mayer likes or dates but when he crosses the line he deserves a slap in the face comments like that.
no one should think its okay in the post -martin luther age and present-obama age to think that way. omgosh
