		<description><![CDATA[Your infamous interview made millions of black women snap shut their legs -- and turn off your music]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John Mayer, I had been listening to your music for four hours straight when I heard your <a href="http://www.salon.com/life/broadsheet/feature/2010/02/10/john_mayer_douchebag/index.html">now-famous comments</a> about not being attracted to black women, how your "dick is sort of like a white supremacist."</p><p>That&#8217;s fine John, because millions of black legs everywhere just snapped shut. They are closed to you. Drape your penis in a white pillowcase for all we care.</p><p>The comment is only one of the offensive things you said in your <a href="http://www.playboy.com/articles/john-mayer-playboy-interview/index.html">Playboy interview</a> -- like calling Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm" and casually tossing off the n-word -- but it's your joke that you have a "Benetton heart and a David Duke" dick that I want to address now. See,&#160;I don't begrudge you your sexual preferences; it's your right to screw as many cheerleaders as you want. What bothers me is that you're not the only guy who feels or acts this way. Sometimes, when I stand in a room of white men, I feel unfeminine and unsexual, no matter the strappy heels, the makeup, the dress. I know there are white men out there who find black women attractive, but you, John Mayer -- the guy down enough to <a href="http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/5GRLcsr5Ej8/">be on"Chappelle's Show,"</a> the guy so sensitive he writes love songs -- now represent the ones who don't. Maybe you should think a little bit about that.</p><p><a href="http://www.salon.com/2010/02/11/john_mayer_black_women/">Continue Reading...</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
