Justin Bieber Decries Racism at Norway Concert: ‘We Get to Be the Difference-Makers’
Billboard ^ | 08/8/2022 | Glenn Rowley

The pop sensation recently resumed his Justice World Tour after recovering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

Justin Bieber took a moment during his concert in Trondeheim, Norway, on Sunday to speak out against racism and discrimination and plug the purpose of his 2021 album Justice.

“So when we created the Justice album, we wanted to make an intentional moment,” the superstar said after greeting the screaming crowd. “A moment of unity, a moment of acceptance, a moment of belonging. In this world, there’s a lot of division, and what justice is, is for us to all come together.

“We know that racism is evil,” he continued. “It’s wrong. But you and I, we get to be the difference-makers. We get to be the ones to stand with our brothers and sisters and make a change. So I’m so grateful to have each and every one of you guys here tonight being a part of this message, being a part of this journey.”

That journey on the pop singer’s Justice World Tour only recently started up again after he was sidelined with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare viral disease that left his face partially paralyzed. As a result, he pushed back the remainder of his U.S. dates and postponed all appearances until after he’d recovered.

One silver lining of the medical scare is that it seems to have bonded the crooner and his wife, Hailey Bieber, closer than ever, with the model sharing, “It really brings us close. I’ll take that away from everything” in a June interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan.

Watch Bieber’s heartfelt speech from the stage in Norway below.

How do you get to be a difference maker on racism in Norway? Go to Chicago, London at very least parts of Malmo.

At one time, he was a wannabe gangsta. Seems he’s given that dream up.

In the past the career of a teen idol would last 2 years at most. Now thanks to the internet the torture is eternal.

“”Not sure I’ve ever heard a JB song.””

Same here and I bet we haven’t missed anything....

He and his wife have been brought closer - until we read the headlines in a couple of years... Happy until the END and the END is always just around the corner with these people.

Like J Lo and Ben Affleck - THIS IS IT - this time!!!! Soooo Soooo happy!

You’re a little, late. We put race on a good path in this country. You jerks decided to disrupt our culture with self aggrandizing BS.

Ignore the 10s of thousands of rapes in Norway committed by non-whites. You are a racist, ok?

I didn’t listen to JB at all.

I heard he became a Christian recently, and believe he is one. I’ve listened to a few of his faith-inspired songs, and was really touched by them.

Those of us who are Christians should probably support this young man in his faith journey, rather than tear him down.

Or in Bieber’s case “Shut up and shut up some more”.
