Justin Bieber is using his platform to speak up about black culture.

With 138 million followers, Justin wrote on Instagram: “I am inspired by black culture. I have benefited off of black culture.  My style, how I sing, dance, perform, and my fashion have all been influenced and inspired by black culture.  I am committed to using my platform from this day forward to learn, to speak up about racial injustice and systemic oppression, and to identify ways to be a part of much needed change.”
