Pharrel has joined Kayne in the Delusional Pool

Pharrell Williams is on the cover of the November issue of Ebony Magazine and from an early look, it seems like he has taken a dive into the pool of delusion that Kanye West has happily been swimming in for the past couple of years.

Pharrell—a member of the "new black" population that no other black people have heard about—speaks to the magazine about, among other things, Ferguson, Missouri and his love for black women.

He addresses the controversy that swirled when he released the cover for his album G I R L that had nary a black woman on the cover. While it's certainly not his job to represent black women, I don't think critics were out of line in simply being disappointed that black women were, yet again, being underrepresented—and by a black man, no less.

At the time, Pharrell used the, "I have a black friend" defense when he shot back that his wife and mother of his child is black, so obviously he thinks black women are beautiful, just not beautiful enough to be on the cover of his album. He employs pretty much the exact same response in the Ebony interview. Via The YBF:

"I love Black women," says Williams. "If you don't think I love Black women, then you don't understand me." He continues to add, "I have obsessed over Black women since the days of Jayne Kennedy, Beverly Peele and Roshumba Williams. Those are the women I daydreamed about growing up."

I get that he was asked the question and has to respond in some way, but the fact that he just rattles off black women he used to masturbate to is worthy of an eyeroll. A better answer would have been: I'm not even going to explain to you that I find black women beautiful because having to explain that in and of itself is offensive and condescending
