Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has called himself the “poster boy” for white privilege, adding that he had to be “very careful” while writing his recent single “American Reckoning,” which pays homage to George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Jon Bon Jovi spoke to CBS Sunday Morning about the song and the band’s album 2020, saying that the new record is not meant to take political sides. During the interview, the 58-year-old rocker, who once called President Donald Trump an “evil genius,” also offered to atone for his race and economic status.
“If I’m not the poster-boy for what could be described as white privilege, then who is?” he said. “I’m an older, white, affluent celebrity, you know? I got it. So, I had to be very careful, and I ran it by friends and people I didn’t know, who could opine.”

Twenty years of terrible music. No talent. Fabulous success. Yep, it all checks out. White privilege.
If this is true, shouldn’t his house and all his properties get looted?
Yes, John is a poster boy for white privilege because there are no blacks in the music business. What a self hating moron.
Arrogance on display, is what Bon Jovi displays.
I’m sorry, you are Joe Blow...who, again?
John is just another idiot listening to Dems, people, instead of listening to God who allowed him to attain success in the world. Yet instead of thanking God and getting in line with God, John (and similar idiots) keep thinking they know best and can fix things in their own ways and power.
And considering all his white guilt contribute all his assets to the black communities he feels he cheated by being born white.
absolutely...hes from Joisey...move to Newark...phony punk.
Good one! If you’re gonna talk the talk, walk the walk!
He’s clueless as to what the Left considers ‘white privilege’ which is basic Western Civilization’s values.
Jon Bon Blow Me.
He and fellow lib Bruce Springsteen used to get huge tax writeoffs on their homes, 98% less than normal, by declaring their land as agricultural before New Jersey changed the law on them because of the abuse. Bon Jovi had a couple of beehives on the lawn of his 10 million dollar estate and Springsteen rented some land to small organic farmers. Not much white guilt when it comes to managing their money.
Most Libtards are.
Go ahead, Jon! “Atone for your race.” I want to see how that’s done. BTW, never liked your music. Not one bit.
“Twenty years of terrible music. No talent. Fabulous success. Yep, it all checks out. White privilege.”
That same set of facts could be any black, yellow, green, or purple rapper.
This is your brain and this is your brain on drugs, lefty jovi has been a dingle berry on Hillarys behind for many years
Poster Boy for overrated act and lousy music. He and Springsteen suck equally.
Exactly; virtue-signaling and lip service from wealthy non-blacks who wouldn’t live anywhere near them is so hollow.
If he was sincere he would give all of his wealth to poor oppressed blacks and join the struggle - but he won’t.
I don’t get this concept of having guilt for what you’ve earned, have been feely given or a physical attribute you have no control over. It’s stupid and nonsensical.
Here’s my solution to help Jon overcome this terrible burden: tell others how you became successful and inspire them to do likewise.
Here’s guy who found enormous success on 3 - 5 songs, mostly from over 30 years ago. I’d say stop complaining or give it all away.
I don’t know his problems but he’s such a cuck.
