Liberal Hero and Giant Douchebag Justin Trudeau Apologizes for Wearing Brownface

[Cypress]

You should probably read the whole story. He was attending an "Arabian Nights" party at his school and pretending to be a character from the Aladdin movie. Not the same as what you call "black face" which is mocking ppl of African descent.

You should run for office, given your sterling record of never pretending to be something you're not! Like smart. lol

I, on the other hand, can never run for political office because my mom used to dress me and my sister up for Halloween as gypsies or Native Americans. It was the only time in my childhood (including teen years) I was allowed to wear makeup. I'm sure there are pictures.

I have never even heard of "brownface.", per the thread title .

Nor of anyone complaining about a party costume of an Arabian character from alladin.

Who knew trump boot lickers were such staunch and passionate defenders of Arabic peoples?!

I say we chalk it up as another flaccid example of phony and contrived rightwing poutrage.

Why did the wiener from Canada apologize?

Soooo, why did Trudeau apologize then?

[QUOTE=countryboy;3257257]Has Eddie Murphy ever apologized for wearing Jewface? Of course not, nor should he. It's actually a fantastic makeup job."

Excellent point...love that movie...
Tyler Perry and Martin Lawrence are going to be in serious trouble when it comes to the older more well endowed ladies if we're going to start pointing fingers....
and the Wayan bros....oh dear...

Why do blacks , Asian-americans, hispanics, and Jewish-americans overwhelmingly and consistently vote for a Democratic party that is supposedly virulently racist and anti-Semitic ??

Explain .

Because they are promised free stuff, and whitey to pay for it.

Mocking people for being of Arabian descent is just as bad as mocking people of African descent. Do you think Africans are superior to Arabians?

Others have mentioned this but if he did nothing wrong and its faux right wing outrage why did he apologize? Further reading the story it doesn't offend me but in 2019 we hold everything done in the past to today's standards. And in today's standards you need to stay in your lane and Trudeau didn't.

And to Gonzomin's comment that Trudeau is a Canadian and not a Dem, lefty or on your team this Rolling Stone cover would suggest otherwise.

He was bitten by the snake of liberal puritanism.

Reprehensible. At least he apologized.

The Republican claim that Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and Jews only vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party to get "free stuff" is about as racist a statement as one can make.

Though this claim is surprisingly common amongst conservatives.

Your claim pre-supposes that America's citizens of black, Jewish, Asian, and Hispanic descent are self-interested, selfish, and self-absorbed and simply cannot be trusted to vote based on principles, based on the interest of the nation and their community, or to vote on conscience.

Why exactly do conservatives have such a low opinion about Jews, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and their ability to use good judgement to vote for the interest of their nation and communities??

Reprehensible. At least he apologized.

The rightwing attempted to conflate this issue with "black face", which is a well known and widely recognized form of racial insensitivity manifesting from the context of America's history of slavery, racial discrimination, and I suppose even the history of Hollywood and theaters refusing to hire black actors.

I have never heard an Arab person holler in outrage about someone dressing up in a party costume as an Arab from the movie Alladdin, and darkening their skin to a swarthy Middle Eastern olive brown tone. There is no history or context in America concerning "brown face". I do not even recall hearing the word "brown face", until the phony rightwing poutrage ensued.

The only ones who are hollering for the smelling salts and fainting couch are Trump boot-lickers on jpp dot com.

Being a politicians, I suppose Trudeau has to be extra sensitive and proffer an apology for good measure, because any kind of cultural appropriation has the potential to look bad to at least a few people, if not society at large. And as a politician, he probably just wants to get this off the 24 hours news cycle, which an apology has the effect of doing.

Trump has never apologized in a single instance for a graving dock full of insults.

That proves exactly nothing. Not even a good try.
