Nice try, but this won't get to listen to her.

So its ok to be a racist pig so long as your liberal - or do you just want to talk about key lime pies and ignore your leans hypocrisy?
Good point, but are the markets free? Does the left really enable "free markets" for it was the outrage of the left that forced the owners to demand the loser human in LA sell his team, but I don't see the same outrage from the leftist once one of their little prince paupers goes off the deep end and acts even worse.
Meh, Paula Deen ruined her career, not the media. They just reported on what she did. And she's a lot older than Beiber. She should know better.
Yes, cause anonymous 14 years olds singing something that adolescence inspires as funny holds any real meaning. No Bieber fan, but FFS this is a non-issue. Period.
Dammit...beat me to it...Well, no owning a basketball team for him.
If his record label decides that having him as an artist will cost them big money, they'll toss the spoiled little brat overboard, and for the same reason the wealthy owners of the NBA want to toss the owner on record with racist comments overboard. Free markets!!
14 year olds should know better, by then they should be fully socialized as to society's expectations of proper behavior.
You.... haven't been around many 14 year olds have you?
I have been around plenty, and I expect civil behavior.
Kids tend to do stupid things. Getting all indignant over this is almost laughable.
Wherein did I say it was right? Didn't. I'm just not going to get all that excited over a NON issue.In that case we may as well not have laws because criminals are just going to rob houses.
wrong is wrong.

NOT....the only reason they pulled her show was because of all the media coverage...it was right up there with the missing plane and the Boston Marathon bombing...they could slap this bieber crap in your face daily like they did her and he would be done..like you say, just reporting what he did, only over and over and over......sorry but 14 isnt a exactly a child and if you think at that age you dont know right from wrong you are only kidding yourself.....go ahead and blame it on bad parenting, the failed eduacation sysytem, whatever....its just deflecting the blame from where it belongs.....either we can all say the word or we all cannot...just quit picking and choosing who can and can't, where or when or no matter what age regardless of the "context"..its total BS....just more liberal hypocrisy

Look, I'm not Beiber fan....but this is a 5 year old video from when he was an adolescent. He did and said something stupid and offensive....which is about par for the course for adolescents. I don't expect them to know significantly better, nor am I going to come down hard on Bieber on this 5 years after the fact. There's a lot of stupid **** he does in the present that is more problematic to me, such as the allegations of street racing while intoxicated, then saying something racially stupid five years ago as a teen.
Meh
:lol: :lol: Wow. Once you calm down, drink a beer and relax, come back and show me where I said that what Beiber said was OK. You won't find it - I promise, because I don't think it's OK. I do think that someone that young heard it from home. Racism is a learned behavior. Not something we are born with. Many people, such as myself, who were raised in a racist household, grew out of it. I'm thinking that maybe Paula Deen didn't get that memo. :shrug:

So I'm confused. Are you saying context doesn't matter when determining how indignant to get over something? Or just upset when someone uses criteria you don't agree with?
Do you get equally indignant over a 15 year old that steals a candy bar and a 25 year old that steals a corvette? Do you get equally indignant over someone punching a peer who calls his girlfriend a gutter skank as you do someone who punches a 80 year old guy as part of a knockout game?
**** that - you may not like it or agree with it but it's not a crime.
Everyone would be facing charges if we disagreed with them, and I'm quite sure our local criminal courts and DOJ would love it.
Who are we going to charge Next Black Sabbath or Ozzy?
How about the ****ing entire punk movement?
