(AllHipHop News) File this one under Yesterday (June 3rd), following videos of a 14 year old Justin Beiber making racist remarks, Lord Jamar addressed the controversy and gave his opinion on Justin Beiber’s racist intentions.
On his personal Twitter account, Lord Jamar acknowledged that Beiber’s racist comments were reprehensible, however stated the Beiber was not a racist simply due to the age at which he said those comments. According to Jamar, Beiber has had time to change from his pre-teen racist speech:
F### Justin Bieber ‘ s punk ass! That being said do I think he’s a racist for some s### he said when he was 15? …Not necessarily

Imagine someone held u accountable for some dumb s### u said when u were 15?

Are u a nasty person because u use to s### ur diapers as a baby? No, of course not. Change is constant & inevitable in ALL THINGS. — Lord Jamar (@lordjamar) June 3, 2014
Back in April, Jamar informed HipHopDX was “leeching off black music” due, in part , to the fact that “he got that white fanbase, but he’s making essentially black music.” He reiterates this statement following the revelation of the Beiber racist tapes:
I have a bigger problem with Bieber ‘ s active participation in the fleecing of BLACK CULTURE than I do with some adolescent joke.
