“I don’t think anyone should be able to profit off racism.
Justin Bieber is in a world of controversy after not one, but two videos surfaced of him telling racist jokes and explicitly using the N-bomb in the clips. Of course the second one was way worse than the first, considering he sang “There will be one less lonely N****” over and over and joked about joining the KKK. JB has owned up to it at this point, but the actions are irreversible, no matter how long ago they happened.
In talking to MTV News, Lupe Fiasco questioned why Biebs’ actions get more of a pass than Donald Sterling, who never went as far as he did, but had considerable more backlash and uproar from the public perspective. He also wonders why they’re both getting different treatment after the fact. Personally, he doesn’t care either way, but to him it sounds absurd that there would be a double standard.
