From Clutch magazine:

Memo to black girls everywhere: John Mayer may think you're attractive, but he probably won't be taking you home to meet his mama.

Oh, wait. You already knew that didn't you? Did you have a feeling? Woo-hoo?

Now look, before all the "she hates her brown skin" mess starts, I want to preface this by saying that I am a black girl who loves herself and loves being black. I am not secretly self loathing nor am I the 'kill-whitey' type either. I am, like most people, somewhat hard to explain. I went through a prepster phase in middle school, but I wore Kente cloth for my children's choir performances at church in the Bronx. My home is full of laughter, curry goat and reggae music on Sundays but I went to school with friends who played lacrosse, summer-ed in the Hamptons and introduced me to indie music- and John Mayer.
