Justin Bieber shares support for Black Lives Matter movement

Source: MSN/New York Daily News

Justin Bieber sang the praises of the Black Lives Matter movement — and quickly earned mixed reactions.

The pop star, 23, voiced his support for equality and shared his eagerness to shed a light on the racism that still exists today by sharing an Instagram photo on Friday that simply reads "Black Lives Matter."

"I am a white Canadian and I will never know what it feels like to be an african American (sic) but what I do know is I am willing to stand up and use my voice to shine light on racism, because it's a real thing and it's more prevalent now than I have ever seen in my lifetime," he captioned the image. "We are all Gods children and we are ALL EQUAL."

It's unclear what motivated Bieber to share the message, but his comments garnered differing opinions from members of the African-American community.
