Justin Timberlake Tweets Something Dumb About Race, Quickly Apologizes

FUSE TV - Justin Timberlake Tweets Something Dumb About Race, Quickly Apologizes

On Sunday night, Justin Timberlake tweeted a boneheaded remark about race relations with regards to the 2016 BET Awards, and it took him about an hour and a half to realize the error of his ways and issue a Twitter apology.

Like many others, Timberlake had a visceral reaction to Jesse Williams’ speech about race and the importance of black culture at the BET Awards, and tweeted that he was “#Inspired.” Someone on Twitter fired back at him, “So does this mean you're going to stop appropriating our music and culture? And apologize to Janet too. #BETAwards.”

And here’s how Justin responded:
