I’m atypical: I say it all the time. But only when referring to other white people. Most white people I know never say the n-word. It usually only happens when they are being satirical or making a shock-value joke (along the same lines as coat hanger abortion jokes).
I don’t know what it’s like in other places. I’ve only encountered a small handful of people that were actually racist in regards to black people. Disdain for immigrant Asians and Pacific Islanders is far more common, as they are our biggest minority.
Yo i can back this up, when I was working at the Foundry most of the dudes there where pretty old and they fuckin HATED the Islanders. Them and Polish people.
It’s strange, after seeing this topic I realized I have never heard a JB song ever. So it bugs me that so much attention is given to this punk. Hopefully the more of this stupid shit continues the public will stop caring.
It used to be 5 flags makes sure this is branded a bad topic. Any new posts won’t bring it back up the list.
Good irony in that we’re only left with Flag:Spam made for spambot advertising threads, and Off Topic, and pretty fun to hit that. But if it doesn’t bother mods to look at this like it has to be removed like the spam one probably does, I figure hit the off topic one. That might alert them too but I don’t know.
Already said several times opening the “topic” like that wasn’t much of a topic.
Did you REALLY just compare Amy Winehouse to Bieber??
Anyway this is just another example of people trying to get money/fame by being “connected” with Bieber. Apparently Bieber’s team paid whoever had this video an exorbitant amount of money not to release it, but they released it anyway. Dude was just a kid and I bet this is forgotten by next week.
On Topic: Bacon, buttered toast, and English breakfast tea.
So, actually this is getting progressively more racist. lol. I dont deny that he isnt an actual racist at this point, but he is definitely caught saying some hella racist shit on camera, and felt a certain kind of way at one point in time in his life/career. The ego you have to have to say shit like that on camera at his point in his career and think it will never come back to bite you in the ass just says so much of how he currently acts, and the people around (and fans) him who basically i assume treat/treated him like an infallible god, mostly for their own selfish reasons.
For the most part, if you had such a problem with black people then, to now adore and obsess with our culture so much says a lot about you. Hopefully in the positive way, and not in the other many ways that i could think about. I like how people have come out already in support of beiber not being racist, but i bet they will be biting their tongue a bit once this next clip drops.
With that said, saying dumb shit doesnt make you a racist. There are plenty of ways to be a racist, and many of those ways justin beiber has not taken in any way shape or form. He has just said some highly suspect and insensitive shit on camera, and is now paying for it.
@Sovi3t how many black people are in Canada? I can understand this behavior without any exposure to many black people.
I know of people that have been racists, but didn’t understand or really know about black people because their first impression of black people is bad to say the least. I mean it’s easy to be judgmental, but if you were indoctrinated with this stuff by friends or family members, it’s hard to NOT develop a racist mentality.
Atm he’s still a scumbag kid, but it is really clear that he likes black people and black culture. Hell, he even came out with the money team(Floyd Mayweather) during his ring entrance and has legit friendships with black people.
It would be like Elvis Presley hating black people, when his whole career is based off of imitating black musicians.
Don’t want to say yah was right, but sure Bieber is wrong
Maybe there was the thread that his exposure/being exposed will bring about the racism in the young white girls (or of course their parents teaching that), or even make more beliebers. him making racial jokes, cool and trending. Couldn’t say that earlier, we hardly had a thread, nobody going that way with his fanbase - that still isn’t SRK.
So any bieber, ER vs Bieb A jokes?
(mech lol this one or at least stop following and contribute, go grab bieber getting shot in that one gif from some Tv show)
Beiber is from a small city thats 95% white but 50min-1h from the greater Toronto area which is almost 50% minorities. Trust me it not mind blowing news that someone from that area would say stupid racist shit.
