Justin Bieber again uses N-word, sings about joining Ku Klux Klan in latest racist clip: report Re

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Purveyor (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

A new video has reportedly surfaced showing the pop prince singing about killing a ‘N-word’ and joining the Ku Klux Klan.

The 24-second clip, viewed by the British tabloid The Sun, shows Justin Bieber changing the words of his 2009 hit, “One Less Lonely Girl” to “One Less Lonely N-----.”

One Less Lonely Girl” was written by Usher, who has acted as the now-20-year-old’s mentor and stood by him despite Bieber’s increasingly controversial off-stage antics.

For me the worse part about these latest videos is that Justin Bieber's career was started and at least partly managed by Usher Raymond, who is black. Even though Usher most likely made a great deal of money as a result of Justin Bieber, I feel sorry for Usher.

Though I find the use of the word despicable...

From what the OP said goes to show the color that matters the most is green.

We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

You told me yes, You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, You played king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right, to hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn

in the lifestyle he's become accustomed to? I certainly won't let my grandchild buy any more of his 'tunes' or merchandise.

and he knows it.

so how to fix it?

become "edger" by doing something really fucking stupid.

he's had his continual train wreck going for a while but it has yet to come to a conclusion.

Will this be it?

naaa, I believe he still has a lot further to go before he hits the career self destruct button.

But I will admit, this little stupid ass racist stunt signals that the keys have been inserted into their slots.

and now, he's awaiting the launch code from his id.

I don't know much about this kid other than he is in the news a lot lately for something or another.
I heard about these videos this morning and there is more there;

He was 15 years old, saw a parody of someone else doing it with racist lyrics, decided to do his own (I'm not excusing just reporting)....

"Bieber also allegedly told both his former mentors Usher and Will Smith (who used to counsel him weekly) about the videos years ago because he “knew almost immediately it was a stupid thing to do.” At this point Usher “took him into a room and showed him historically racist videos to drive home how hurtful these words can be.” If this is true, it’s in line with the apology Bieber issued after the first racist video came out in which he said,



"Thanks to friends and family I learned from my mistakes and grew up and apologized for those wrongs. Now that these mistakes from the past have become public I need to apologize again to all those I have offended."

I am putting this out there because I don't know if people are clicking on links and reading or not.
