Nobody gives a shit about Justin Timberlake, CNN couldn't be more of a joke. This is not news.

Does this flag trigger you?

What do you know, you communist?

Most 'CELEBRITIES' ARE SLAVES to their OWNERS because of their CAREERS, they have NO CHOICE than TO DO the BIDDING, & VOICE THE OPINIONS of their OWNERS. TrumpLandslideVictory2020

And why should your opinion matter? Put it to a vote for everyone!

Who said public figures don't have personal opinion? It might not necessarily be the right one but are free to express it.

The last thing we need is to hear from a professional entertainer on this issue, yet, here we are.

Did you actually know that almost all Confederates were not (NOT) slave owners.

FreeBritney

Can't remember who the fuck asked for a washed up popstars opinion?

Folks are only victims of thier own stupid decisions, a black American is free to be President or Career felon, thier choice. No one forced either to become what they became.

Everyone is trying to 'get it in' one way or another. There was an outcry to cancel 'Hamilton,' the musical streaming on Disney because the protagonist Alexander Hamilton may have owned slaves. Who among many back then would not have owned slaves? Should everyone be erased?

Just stop the racism

Yo and who the fuck called Justin Timberlake to be the voice, stick to singing dude.

Justin Timberlake does not speak for me.....and I agree with his statement.

👍

Take down his music. I’m sure it is racist.

How come no one was doing all this when Obama was in office? Idiots.

Justin needs to stick with music and stay out of politics. His music needs a ton of work. He has not been relivent since *NSYNC kicked him out

CancelYale A SLAVE TRADER founded YALE .

Find sentiment. Problem is that this is a country in which this means something more to people that it does when they say it themselves because their opinion is not worth as much as Justin Timberlake's. Something wrong here.

People don't understand that by tearing down these statues, they are tearing down our history. They serve as a reminder not to repeat our history.

If only Justin Timberlake was somebody respected for his moral & ethical spine as well as for having 5 cents of knowledge about the real world outside of Hollywood & infotainment. But hey, respects him so let's all just hold onto our hats. NO! JournalismIsDead.

When will the Pandering end. Where where their voices before. Very sad.

He's a hottie but I don't care what he calls for.

Confederates, thru an act of Congress, are considered Veterans. JT needs to pick up a history book.

Thats funny because nobody is, the issue is vandalism by mobs, but dont let that stop you from creating a strawman to virtuesignal jtimberlake .

whoa! thanks austere historical scholar!

And Dixieland should be outlawed right?

Oh, Justin says we should take them down? That settles it then.

Wait — Frederick Douglass was a slave owner?

and

Geez... if JT says then it must happen! I have been overly concerned regarding his thoughts on the situation

Odd. So Black Lives Matter founders are 'trained Marxists' in their own words, yet Karl Marx was a well known racist.

All the democrat statues should come down then! Just a bunch of slave owners

Well if the singer in a boy band says so then we must listen..

Funny how no-one was calling for the statues of saddam hussein to be left standing so as to protect their heritage

No one is....we are protecting AMERICA'S HISTORY from Marxists and Communists that hate America and want to destroy all America's history.

Crazy...

finally

I don't take lectures from people worth 230 million dollars.

Say it again, Justin!!!! Moe_Derrty look at our boy!

Does that include Thomas Jefferson and George Washington? Very flawed men who have done terrible things however part of their legacy is very much worth protecting. As for the Confederate leaders they can burn in hell

garage door pull handle IT WAS A FVCKING HOAX like the “black national anthem” Movin’ on up To the east side To a deluxe apartment In the sky HINT: NO SUCH THING AS A “black national anthem” weezy gonna kick someones a$$

A month late bro.
