I'm Sorry For My Racist Joke Justin Bieber

As a young man
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
