Justin Bieber caught on tape making racist jokes...UPDATE: Second video released, sings about KKK

[keond]

Usher has broken his silence over Justin Bieber's race scandal, branding the controversy "unfortunate" but vowing to stand by his protege as he works to restore his reputation.


The Baby hitmaker has faced a backlash since two old video clips, which are believed to date back to 2009, emerged online showing him using the N-word in a racist joke and singing about joining notorious hate group the Ku Klux Klan.


Bieber apologized after the initial clip surfaced on the Internet over the weekend, admitting it was "a reckless and immature mistake", and on Thursday, he stated, "I just hope that the next 14-year-old kid who doesn't understand the power of these words does not make the same mistakes I made..."
Usher refused to comment on the controversy while out in Los Angeles earlier this week, but he has since opened up about the scandal to editors at Nylon magazine, saying, "It's unfortunate. I hate some of the things I hear. Is it all true? I don't know. But I will tell you this: success comes with a price. Every person that has grown up, grows up with something. It ain't (sic) just perfect from the beginning."


The Burn star goes on reveal the future of Bieber's career now lies in the way he handles himself following the fall-out.
He continues, "I gave every bit of advice and always told him it was up to him if he really wanted this (pop career). Now that he has it, as an adult, it's his to manage. Do I turn my head in shame based off of what I see, what I know? Nah (sic), I don't because it's all part of life's process. Am I in it with him? Yeah."


Usher's comments emerge after Bieber's rapper pal Lil Za and hip-hop mogul Mack Maine spoke out in defense of the singer, and now African American actress-turned-TV presenter Whoopi Goldberg has sided with the youngster, too.
The Oscar winner says, "You have all these wonderful rap songs and all these artists using the (N) word and they're saying it and it doesn't have the same meaning to them... (and Justin Bieber) is Canadian and n**ger doesn't mean anything in Canada."

Took him a week to come up with that bullshyt? Ole Bojangles ass nikka

c00ns will still cape for him and black women will still love him.

my black people...

Close thread.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Time to unsticky this thread mods unless the rumored extra footage comes out (which I doubt at this point) the debate has pretty much been settled. Too many "black friends" have vouched

 

[ThaRealness]

Bieber will try and say he matured but that's such bullshyt. He's just gotten douchier and more detached from the rest of the world

 

[ThaRealness]

Also he seems like the type of person who would hang out with black people despite his own racism

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

bump.

I never said slavery didn't exist in Canada. I said they do not teach it nor talk about it. He knew what he said was wrong but folk were talking about learning about slavery in class and that doesn't happen in Canada. Dude is from a white on white town...all he knows about black folk is what he saw on TV. No excuses just explaining to folk why he's so out of touch.

i learned about slavery in school, and the underground railroad

Not making excuses but he's white from Canada. I've been through the Canadian education system. It's almost like slavery never existed. I only got a chance to really fukk with with slavery when I took a bunch of courses in Uni. Black folk don't exist in Canada

again, maybe that's what you learned in montreal, but in ontario you learn about the underground railroad, you learn about the transatlantic slave trade, etc.

so and

I went to school in Toronto.

If you think they're learning about the slave trade in Stratford...

BTW: I know a bunch of teachers. There is no black studies in the curriculum, it's up to the teacher. White teachers aren't teaching an ounce of black history aside from February. If you learned that, then consider yourself lucky.

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

have any artists- high profile people came out and called him the racist that he is?

fukk these celebs, they dont deserve to prosper off of our pockets. anybody who defended him needs to be put on a list, and ostracized by us.

Then again, how could i not expect some coked out charlatans to defend another coked out charlatan?

 

[Rell84shots]

And these black artists wonder why their concerts look like ozzfest.

 

[porque]

this kid is lucky he befriended so many Black celebrities cause if not this would have ended his career

Nah. People would forget pretty quickly. He'd be fine. If there's one group you can offend without much punishment...it's black folk.
