The Sun newspaper in England released the disturbing video of the racist joke that features a smirking Bieber asking: Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?
He then delivered the insensitive punch line: "Run n-----, n-----, n-----, n-----, n-----."
Bieber also added some chainsaw noises as he delivered the joke.

Words fail me. This should by rights end his career.

Drop the N-word and you have decent odds of having the mob outside your door w/ pitchforks and torches.

MosheFeingold
(3,051 posts)Well, I would defend him against State Action for being such an asshat.
But the commercial marketplace is a different animal altogether, as was shown by the poster who got deleted here. So whatever he gets there is fair game. Sadly doubt much will occur.
All that said, I am sure I said really stupid things when I was 15. But then, I wasn't a famous pop star when I was 15.

I spare you the actual verbiage, but it's a similarly hilarious phonetic play likening a lawn sprinkler to three Puerto Ricans, an Asian, and four African Americans.
Always classy.

I do not think something stupid said when he was 15 should really matter that much. I judge him far more for the stupid things he has said and done in the last few years. I wonder what kind of racist jokes young Eric Clapton told? He is an admitted racist as an adult yet the Baby Boomer crowd still kisses his ass like he really was god.

(43,226 posts)I mean, even if it didn't include that word, I don't see how it constitutes anything funny. It fails on all levels.
Reminds me of the boss in Raising Arizona who would always make nonsensical Polish jokes. Not only is it offensive, but it's just bad humor objectively.
