VIDEO : Biebs Lays It Down Black Lives Matter

On Friday, Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber took to Instagram to voice his support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Bieber wrote in the caption of a post that read "Black Lives Matter," "I am a white Canadian and I will never know what it feels like to be an African American."
He wrote, "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. We are all God's children and we are ALL EQUAL."
Bieber has largely avoided making political statements throughout his career.
