Justin Bieber is really sorry he told a racist joke on video

In case you missed it, a video of Justin Bieber hit the Internet showing everyone’s favorite douchebag dropping N-bombs as a part of a lame joke he was attempting to tell.

According to TMZ, this video is from 2011 making Justin Bieber around 16 or 17 years-old (See, he was a douche back then too!) TMZ states that they actually had this video four years ago, but chose not to share it because of his age and the fact that he reportedly told friends at the time that what he did was stupid. (No kidding…)

The joke?

“Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?” asks Bieber. “Run, n***er, n***er, n***er, n***er!” he answers, then proceeds to completely crack himself up.

What a douchebag.

In Bieber’s defense, a black ex-bodyguard of his says that he’s not racist, just bad at telling jokes, which I suppose makes sense since he also sucks at a lot of other things, basketball being just one of them.

Here’s the video of the joke, and here’s the apology he released which is far tl;dr.
