Give Justin Bieber credit:
Just hours after a video leaked of the singer telling a racist joke at the age of 15, Bieber has come out and issued a lengthy explanation and heartfelt apology for the incident.
“As a young man, I didn’t understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt,” Bieber told TMZ. “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.”
Justin went on to say thank his “friends and family” for helping him lean from mistakes and understands that he needs to “apologize again to all I have offended” now that one of those mistakes has become public.
“I’m very sorry,” he continues. “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.”
