Justin Bieber has revealed that he still fells regret for racist remarks he make when he was aged 14.
The star apologized for using racial slurs back in 2015 after a video was leaked by TMZ of him making a racist joke. The footage in question was from 2009 or 2010.
Posting to social media today, Justin reflected on his faith, and expressed his regret for ever speaking the way he did.

Alongside a post bearing the words “STAND AGAINST RACISM,” he wrote:
“When I was young I was uneducated and found myself saying really hurtful things not knowing the power of my words.”
“Racism Is still very prevalent and I want to use my voice to remind we are all human being and all of EQUAL VALUE BEFORE GOD!”
At the time of the leaked footage, Justin apologized, saying:
He said: “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 realise at the time that it wasn’t funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance.”
“I take my friendships with people of all cultures very seriously and I apologise 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.” Â
