I never mentioned the political implications of this in any of my posts. I strictly commented on the social aspects of it. Also, you did not quote me about Justin. You quoted me about a Bolivian character form the US. No idea why you're telling me these things. My mistake. I quoted the wrong post. Sorry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Jube 215 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Trudeau's apology: "In 2001, when I was a teacher in Vancouver, I attended a gala. The theme was Arabian Nights. I dressed up in an Aladdin costume and put makeup on. I shouldn't have done that. I should have known better, but I didn't and I'm really sorry. "I take responsibility for my decision to do that. I shouldn't have done it. I should have known better. It was something that I didn't think was racist at the time, but now I recognize it was something racist to do and I am deeply sorry."

whocares 2,122 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I don’t think liberals on this thread realize that you can criticize Trudeau and still want to support him on the election because whoever his conservative opponent (in terms of policies) is horrible. It just comes off as hypocritical because when a conservative does some stupid thing like this, the left is the first one to call them out. And yes, I’m aware this is just conservatives trying to sabotage his re-election. They don’t give a damn about Trudeau wearing Brownface. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only racist to do black face in America because of how whites used to mock black people by painting their face black. Im Middle Eastern and painting ur face brown to look like us as a joke is not an issue to me or most middle eastern. We even have a arabic singer who did a music video in black face because its an African theme and black people where I live loved it alot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudeau does a lot for women, lgbtq+ rights, supports immigration, has called out situations/citizen’s racism, opposes quebec’s bill 21 against religious signs etc etc etc. Probably the same can’t be said for most conservative candidates which is why people would be more on their necks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a right leaning politician had done this back in the day, you would have crucified him Maybe because right wing don’t evolve and are still racist in this day and age. Most of the comments are saying this is yikes and wrong, you on the other hand liked comments saying it’s no big deal. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
