A lot of white kids incubated in white only neighborhoods express ignorance towards every race.
I grew up in Idaho (.9% black population) and a kid casually called me a ****** at school. Literally went, "Hi, ****** ". It was like 7th grade. So around 13. I confronted him, told him it wasn't okay. Never did it again. Another guy, was Hispanic, while we were playing kickball or something, I missed a kick and he was like "Mother****ing ******!" not thinking anything about it. Then we got in a fight, I punched him hard and that was around 8th grade. So 14. We made up after that.
And now at 22, they're both different people. One is a father now. And neither are racists. But both were at one point, ill-informed teenagers (like ALL of us).

I understand and I am sorry that those traumatic events took place in your life but Justin was 16 when said those things he knew how serious the word was and why it was offensive. There are no excuses for his behavior, yes I am aware that as people grow they change but Justin has yet to fully do that, he's still the same guy that he was 2 years ago this whole image revamp is ploy the sell records and earn respect as musician, sadly it's worked but in due time he will slip up again.
