It’s Friday! And our friends on Twitter have plenty on their minds. John Mayer’s racist comments about Black women (and a whole lot more) got him into trouble all over the blogosphere earlier this week. And even if it resulted in a day’s worth of celebrities talking honestly about race, the rest of us are over it.

Adam Serwer talks Blackwater, Melissa Harris-Lacewell compares cable news hosts, Jelani Cobb pokes fun at the newly-freed white missionaries in Haiti, the Audre Lorde Project shares good news for transgender people in NYC from Queers for Economic Justice, and we’ve got our own news to announce!

Enjoy your Friday, and as always, be sure to follow ColorLines magazine at @racialjustice.
