Soon after Justin Bieber released an apology for a five-year-old video that surfaced showing him telling a racist joke, a new video has been released that shows the young star engaging in more racial controversy.
In the first video, a young Justin tells a joke about "why black people don't like chainsaws," but the second one takes things even further. In it, the pop star changes the lyrics of his song, "One Less Lonely Girl," to "One Less Lonely Ni**a." He also jokes about joining the infamous White supremacist hate group the Ku Klux Klan, which was responsible for the murders of untold numbers of Black people throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
News outlet The Sun reported on the new video today, June 4th. An unidentified source spoke to the newspaper about how people need to see this due to the fact that Justin is living at an elevated status, and people shouldn't be allowed to conduct themselves in this manner no matter who they are.
"Unfortunately this is the devastating reality of how Justin has behaved and reveals his attitude toward such a deeply emotive subject," the source told The Sun. "People need to see this. Normal kids in society do not make these kind of jokes. He is protected by a network of staff, but the camera doesn't lie."
Justin Bieber and his representatives have yet to release a statement on the latest video. Despite the news, Bieber's friend Floyd Mayweather has spoken up in defense of Justin for just being young and making a mistake, and that he's been nothing but nice to the boxer and his family.
It's a known fact that Justin Bieber often associates himself with people of various cultural backgrounds, so it's likely that this is a case of a young man living so freely that he simply got too comfortable with his ability to say and do certain things without fear of criticism or backlash from the public.
Since the news broke, fans have been going in sharing their opinions on Bieber's racist controversy. Check out what fans had to say about the matter on Twitter, above.
