I don’t think it matters so much that Mayer himself isn’t black….but that the song’s lyrics don’t have the relevance to important issues facing blacks doesn’t make it a good choice (especially when there are so many other songs that would be more applicable).
Without knowing the guy or what his reasoning was, I don’t want to make a judgment that it’s not justifiable….but it definitely wouldn’t have been one that I’d choose.

@Dragon56: [c=#4C0073]Im not big on the whole black or white crap, but I think if you're going to do something that represents an idea, then you should be more considerate of your choices and try to encompass what that means on a wide scale. That was my only issue with it. I love the song, I just didn't think it fit what he was aiming for.[/c]
