Justin
Bieber
recently
revealed
that
he
feels
ashamed
for
not
calling
out
everyday
racism
against
African-American
citizens
in
the
US
sooner.
The
singer
wishes
he
could
have
used
his
platform
more
to
support
the
African-American
community.
Justin,
during
a
conversation
with
CNN
on
the
ongoing
protests
and
riots
for
Black
Lives
Matter
in
the
past
week,
said
that
he
will
be
using
his
platform
more
proactively
to
show
support.
The
riots
took
place
all
over
America
after
the
killing
of
an
unarmed
black
man
named
George
Floyd,
at
the
hands
of
white
Minneapolis
officers.
"I've
been
feeling
shame
in
the
sense
of
like,
why
did
it
take
these
men
being
killed
for
me
to
almost
take
a
blanket
over
my
eyes.
Why
now?
I
do
feel
bad
when
it
comes
to
that,"
he
admitted.
Hailey
Baldwin's
Post
Justin's
wife
and
Supermodel
Hailey
shared
the
discussion
with
her
fans
on
Instagram,
and
added
in
the
caption,
"As
a
white
woman,
I
know
I
am
privileged,
and
I
didn't
always
understand
what
that
really
meant.
I
will
never
understand
what
it's
like
to
be
racially
profiled
and
targeted
and
wake
up
everyday
uncertain
if
I
could
lose
my
life
because
of
the
color
of
my
skin."
Justin
And
Hailey's
Live
Session
On
Black
Lives
Matter
Hailey
went
on
to
urge
her
fans
to
talk,
ask
the
right
questions
and
be
educated,
"I
want
to
know
better
so
I
can
do
better
and
I
will
not
stop
asking
these
questions
and
having
these
conversations...
I
want
to
keep
learning
how
to
be
an
ally,
and
I
refuse
to
keep
walking
through
life
being
ignorant.
People
get
nervous
to
say
the
wrong
thing,
and
I
think
this
conversation
is
so
healthy,
because
it's
not
about
saying
the
wrong
thing."
"Even
if
we
do
say
the
wrong
thing,
getting
corrected
in
love
and
respect
and
saying,
'I'm
telling
you
this
because
we
respect
each
other
and
I
want
you
to
understand,'" Hailey
added.
