Liberal Hero and Giant Douchebag Justin Trudeau Apologizes for Wearing Brownface

[Darth Omar]

I must be the only one that doesn't have a problem with people wearing make-up to portray different people.

That, I wonder if white liberals are more offended by it than black people.

[signalmankenneth]

How many of these pompous, smug, soy boys who accuse Trump supporters of being racist have worn black or brown face? What a bunch of phonies! Their outrage is always fake and hypocritical. And the other lefties won't condemn him, because he is on their team. We all know you lefties are a bunch of racists!

Your lack of outrage over the wearing of blackface when it's done by someone on your side of the aisle is noted.

Justin Trudeau leaves open possibility of more blackface photos

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered a fresh apology to his fellow Canadians on Thursday over his blackface and “brownface” scandal — and left open the possibility that more photos of him in the racist makeup could surface.

Speaking to reporters in Winnipeg, Trudeau said he was “deeply sorry” for appearing in three images with the skin-darkening makeup.

“What I did hurt them,” Trudeau, the son of late former Canada Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, said of his constituency. “The buck stops with me and I have a responsibility.”

The Liberal Party leader stopped short of putting an exact number on the amount of times he’s dressed up in blackface.

“I am wary of being definitive about this because recent pictures that came out I had not remembered,” he explained. “And the question is, how can you not remember that? The fact is, I didn’t understand how hurtful this is to people who live with discrimination every single day.

“I’ve always acknowledged that I come from a place of privilege but now I need to acknowledge that that comes with a massive blindspot.”

A 2001 photo surfaced Wednesday night showing Trudeau wearing “brownface” and a turban during an “Arabian Nights” party at a private school in Vancouver where he was teaching at the time.

Trudeau admitted to donning blackface a second time to sing Harry Belafonte’s “Banana Boat Song (Day O)” during a high school talent show.

And on Thursday, a third instance of Trudeau in blackface emerged.

“We can confirm that it is him and it’s from the early 1990s,” said a Liberal Party spokesperson in a statement to CBC.

Trudeau isn't on my radar but he is now a deplorable to me. I have no idea why conservatives who wear blackface here every day
want to make hay out of one of their own.

It's not about proving anything. I don't care about Trudeau or if people are offended with what he did here. But it's false to say he's not a lefty or liberal. And when you have a (liberal) American publication writing a piece about wanting him to be our President pretty hard to say he's not on your team. (I will offer the caveat that the Rolling Stone doesn't speak for all liberals and this idea of being on a team is stupid)

Not serious. He does not qualify for our presidency. Who does not know that?

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds

Takes a real man to apologize for being a stupid dumbfuck almost 20 years ago

When are you going to apologize for being a dumbfuck today

It sure enough is not a deterrent for Melanoma Trump to stop her yearning to lick Trudeaus face.

The photo of Trudeau was taken at the school's annual dinner, which had an "Arabian Nights" theme that year, Trudeau said, adding that he was dressed as a character from "Aladdin."

Seems as if it was part of a costume and not meant to mock so I cannot muster up indignance over this.

I don't give a fuck about anyone wearing black face. My indignation is over their hypocrisy, how they cry "racism, racism" about bullshit that they themselves do.
