John Mayer Racism & the Cress Theory
John Mayer recently made some very disturbing comments during a interview with Playboy Magazine. His remarks caused many to charge him as a racist. I feel that his comments are racist but only as they pertain to the definition and theory of racism outlined in Dr. Frances Cress Welsing’s book The Isis Papers. I believe that Mayer’s statements show that he may be consciously or subconsciously racist but more importantly he is suffering from an inferiority complex. I will attempt to evaluate John’s remark as they relate to Dr. Welsing’s theory about racism and white supremacy.
Dr. Welsing redefined racism and he approach totally changes the concept as we know it. Her definition of racism is:
“the local and global power system structured and maintained by those who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined; this system consists of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action, and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity. The ultimate purpose of the system is to prevent white genetic annihilation on Earth- a planet in which the overwhelming majority of people are classified as non-white by white skinned people. All of the non- white people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetically recessive white skinned people”
Dr. Welsing suggests that white skinned people’s claims of superiority are the result of the realization of their genetic inferiority and their fear of genetic annihilation. Racism white supremacy was consciously or subconsciously created to maintain or conserve white people’s status on the planet. The concept of race was created by whites in an attempt to propagate the illusion that they were the majority on the planet. Whites as a collective are classified racially as white/Caucasian, but the remaining non-white population is fragmented into several racial categories. This gives the white race the ability to appear as the majority when they actually are the minority. The reality is the there are only two types of people on the planet those who have the ability to produce color and those who cannot. One group of the non-white population has the ability to produce all the degrees of skin pigmentation and that is the so-called Black race. As it pertains to skin color the so-called Black race is the most dominant and is the greatest threat to white genetic survival. When we look at the system of racism white supremacy we will find that some the most heinous atrocities have been afflicted upon the Black race possibly due the Black race’s genetic dominance.
John Mayer’s comments reflect a racial attitude and also show his insecurities as well. I will only touch on his comments in reference to sex and relationships with women who would be classified as Black according to the system created by whites. I do not desire to touch the comment in which he referred to a “hood pass” as a “nigger pass”. Mayer discussed his enjoyment of masturbation, porn, and even tongue kissing an openly homosexual male. Mayer’s sexual behavior relates to Dr. Welsing’s suggests that non-whites despise their genes. They hate their genes because their offspring remind them of their genetic inferiority. Whites cannot produce skin pigmentation; the very thing they desire the most. Sexual behaviors that are predominantly practiced by whites reflect their self hate and blatant disregard for the sacredness of the process of reproduction. John Mayer loves to masturbate, does not want to be married or have children, and swapped spit with a gay dude. John hates his genes, he knows that he cannot produce offspring with the traits he subconsciously desires. Masturbation and homosexuality definitely cannot produce offspring. These behaviors allow for the pleasure of the sex act but do not allow for reproduction to occur. His unwillingness to be married and his lack of desire validates my claim.
It was Mayer’s comments in regards to Black women that caused the most controversy. In his interview with Playboy Mayer said “I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick” when asked if Black women threw themselves at him. He then added “I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, “Yeah, I sucked his dick. Whatever.” And you’d be like, “What? We weren’t talking about that.” That’s what “Heartbreak Warfare” is all about, when a girl uses jealousy as a tactic” when pressed about what Black women he would consider. His remarks display the internal conflict that racists have. He referred to his penis as David Duke. David Duke was the Grand Wizard of the KKK. Mayer fears sexual relationships with Black women because they give him feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. In his subconscious he knows that her genes will dominate his therefore rendering him inferiority as it relates to skin color. The interesting thing here is that John also subconsciously wants to have a sexual encounter with a Black woman because it gives him the illusion of being able to produce color; the very power he desires but cannot have. Dr. Welsing defines this dynamic as reaction formation; In which someone turns what they desire into something the despise. We must also take note of the comment he made in reference to Kerry Washington in which he talked about her performing fellatio. Fellatio is a form of masturbation does not produce offspring,
In conclusion I suggest, like many others, that John Mayer is racist but only as it pertains to Dr. Welsing’s definition of racism white supremacy. Mayer is aware of his inferiority as it relates to pigmentation. His inferiority complex has produced feelings of inadequacy and disgust for his genes. He enjoys masturbation, homosexual experiences, and does not want to be married because of his reluctance to produce offspring that would only remind him of his recessive genes. He avoids relationships with Black women because it would make him feel inadequate and powerless. He also simultaneously wants a sexual encounter with a Black woman because it would give him the illusion of having the ability to produce color which he really desires.
