Floyd Mayweather with Justin Bieber

Yesterday The Sun newspaper released a video of Justin Bieber telling a racist joke filmed 3 years ago. (Click here to watch).

And as expected Justin has now issued a statement with a quickness! 

“As a kid, I didn’t understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt.

“I thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn’t realize at the time that it wasn’t funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance.

“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’m very sorry. I take my friendships with people of all cultures very seriously and I apologize for offending or hurting anyone with my childish and inexcusable mistake.

“I was a kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again.

“Ignorance has no place in our society and I hope the sharing of my faults can prevent others from making the same mistake in the future. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to say but telling the truth is always what’s right.

“Five years ago I made a reckless and immature mistake and I’m grateful to those close to me who helped me learn those lessons as a young man. Once again….I’m sorry.”

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, who these days seems to spend most of his time spitefully posting confidential medical information about former girlfriends and abusing women, was quick to jump to the star’s defence.

Scum Bag Mayweather said,

“Justin has been nothing but kind to me, my daughters and sons over the years,” he wrote.

“We all make mistakes when we are young, it’s part of growing up. I am proud of what he’s doing as a 20 year old musician and business man.”

Mayweather even went as far as to post a picture of himself and Bieber on Instagram as a show of support.

Awww…isn’t that sweet?

All is right with the world again.
