And honestly, people act surprised?
Does anyone not realise the general intelligence and general knowledge levels we're dealing with here? Just coz youngun is a celeb, doesn't mean his moral and ethical compass is somewhere above ours. It's like people acting surprised by racism. While people say all kinds of shyt among each other

Lupe is a nobody rapper so his words dont mean a thing. Like Pac said about hip hop/influence. "Crucial Conflict cant pass any hip hop laws to affect the youth". Neither can Lupe.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't be put on blast. I ain't jumping on the c00n train but all white people ain't bad. While we shouldn't be surprised we shouldn't let this slide either. Bieber is making money off of our culture, this isn't like some country artist just said this.

He is correct but the punishment or lack of it with both cases aren't built from the same foundation.

He was young and whatnot and if we're gonna call him out on this then we'd have to call out a whole lot of white people. Honestly, that's pretty much impossible. I've just come to terms with the fact that people act a whole lot different in private. And the average idiot doesn't just act different in private, he/she seems to have a whole different set of morals too.

Or just take the approach that most of them are white supremacists.

I know what you're trying to say but based on how things have been going since 2008 and how our race has taken steps backwards when it comes to racial unity and race relations in general, I really have a hard time going with that. I've become extra cynical throughout the last few years. :yeshrug:

a 15 year old doesn't have the same power in the world sterling had

:camby:

Black 15 year olds are treated as adults and are liable for everything they say and do.

Bieber was 15, he's not dumb. He knew what he saying at the time.

All these rappers and other celebrities are only taking up for him because they benefit from him.

But Bieber isn't black. We know that 15 year old white kids are still considered juveniles. It doesn't matter if they steal from walmart, shoot up a school or have a million dollar record deal-- they are white. Let Will Smiths weird ass son or Diddy's son get caught on camera doing the same thing (stealing from walmart, shooting up a school, or telling a racist joke) not only would people call for the kid to be punished but the parents too

He is speaking the truth IMO, but when you are loved you are more likely to get free passes in life. Not saying that should happen, because it shouldn't, but that's what happens time and time again

Is beiber still loved though?
