Pop-sensation Justin Bieber is facing new fire for a second video that’s emerged of him making racial remarks against blacks — this time, joking about joining the Ku Klux Klan.
The Sun obtained this latest clip, which contains Mr. Bieber laughing and joking while he sings an altered version of his 2009 hit, “One Less Lonely Girl.” In the video, Mr. Bieber reportedly sings about “One Less Lonely [N-word],” and then goes on to joke about joining the KKK.
The new video has emerged just a few days after he was pressed to apologize for another tape in which he was captured at the age of 15 making a joke that contained several uses of the racial slur.
His apology, in part, stated: “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 face my actions were continuing the ignorance.”
