CBC: Trudeau says he is 'deeply sorry' he appeared in brownface at school gala in 2001
Trudeau admits to 2nd incident where he donned makeup and sang 'Day O' in high school talent show
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says he knows now that his decision to dress up in brownface and a turban for a gala at a private school where he worked 18 years ago was a racist thing to do and he is now "deeply sorry."
Trudeau also admitted there was a second instance of racist behaviour. "When I was in high school I dressed up at a talent show and sang Day O with makeup on," he said.
Speaking to reporters on his campaign plane, Trudeau apologized for his actions, saying that he now recognizes his actions were racist.

WNU Editor: If a Liberal candidate did this, Prime Minister Trudeau would be demanding his/her resignation right away. But the one who is guilty is Justin Trudeau himself, and his only option right now is to come clean and apologize profusely (which he has tried to do tonight). But the damage has been done, and it is considerable. Women, young people, and minorities are the groups that support Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. How can they feel motivated to vote for him when a picture like this one shows up. And as for his apology .... I was not impressed. He told reporters tonight that he will be telling his children that when you make a mistake you need to own up to it. But I doubt that he will be telling them that it is a good idea to wait 18 years and only start saying you made a mistake once the nature and details of your error has been published in Time magazine. Bottom line. I do not think he can recover from this. This has been an election without a major issue to dominate the headlines. But now there is one, and it will revolve around the the character and judgment of one Justin Trudeau.

I have never once had the urge to paint my face a shade of dark and frolic around like an ass. What is the appeal to leftwingers to do this?
EG: VA Gov. Ralph Northam (D), VA Attorney General Mark R. Herring (D), Sara Silverman (D), Amy Schumer (D), Jimmy Kimmel (D)...
GRIEVANCE,
MACHINE,
R,
I remember the Wayan's brothers whiting up as white women in a movie. Very funny. I didn't consider it racist or sexist at the time nor now in the insane 21st century. Nuance & context are no longer considered. It looks like nowadays everyone on the planet is looking for a fight. However, it is entertaining when a hypocritical champaign socialist gets hit with his own hand bag heh heh heh.
Little need to blame the left or the right on this. It was not at all uncommon for many years and no one thought of it has in bad taste...if you were white. After all years of white supremacy and colonial rule world wide and notions of "blood" relegated non whites to an inferior status.
let he who is without sin throw the first stone...recall that it was The Northern Star, Canada, that runaway slaves fled to when they tried escaping slavery in the U.S....there they would find their freedom
"let he who is without sin throw the first stone..."
SHIT
SHIT
SHIT
That is using a single verse to always call for non-action Libtards always use it when one of their own is in trouble, but use it at no other time.
So to you I say
BULLSHIT
"Little need to blame the left or the right on this. It was not at all uncommon for many years"
Gee, divide the number of people wearing blackface by generation by the population of that generation and tell me that it was prevalent?
If a few liberals wear blackface, do not tell me that the 10%, 20% of 50% of the nation did.
Looks like a liberal thing to me.
PS If we could bring a hidden camera to high society liberal fund raisers, many of them still wear blackface.
TRUDEAU IN AFRO! Second Photo of Justin Trudeau in Blackface Surfaces from High School Talent Show

Quick Sound Taps or Retreat!
So whats the big deal? He did something stupid, but this is being blown out of proportion by the media AND WNU (who has never been shy about his distaste for the man).
I'm no fan of Trudeau, and sooner he goes the better, but, there is such a thing as double-standards here and certain other politicians have done much, much worse including saying things they've been caught on camera for.
This? This is nothing compared to any of that, but it is news worthy apparently and of course the WNU Editor seems to think this is enough for a good firm scolding.
Sad times.

"How can they feel motivated to vote for him when a picture like this one shows up."
I see him and his family going to India dressed as Bollywood movie background dancers as much more of a reason to not vote for Trudeau, but.
As you know he doesn't run for the PM job but gets it by default when his party wins so they don't actually vote for "him", they vote for the person in their riding that they want and that often is someone who they have held in respect for some time. There are of course times when people vote against their tradition.
Trudeau and the Liberals soundly defeated the conservative government primarily I believe, because of the promise of legalized MJ, and maybe too because they had tired of former successive Conservative governments. Imagine that. A promise regarding MJ as opposed to a promise to bring in something really needed like, oh say Healthcare for all.
Personally I would rather that every time it was a minority government and don't really care which parties form that coalition.
It is an important story. Liberals always get away with this shit way too often. It is called liberal privilege. It is time liberals get called on it and get more than a slap on the wrist.
It's a black and white photo, I presume. Maybe he wore dark green makeup to be a forestry oriented middle eastern potentate. "The Pine Tree moo-lah", proposing replanting the Sahel to it's former status before "global warming" came and turned it into the sandbox it now is.
Judging by his harem of tree planters he was ahead of his time. DIVERSITY. DIVERSITY. Why no credit for this futuristic call? Geeeez.
Much ado about nothing. A case of the pot calling the kettle black. Or dark green. Or something.
Pathetic.
Much ado about nothing?
Then why did they go after the Governor of Alabama?
Because liberals wanted her scalp to place above their fireplace.
Why did liberals go after Ted Danson? He is married to a liberal black woman and it was probably her idea and they tried to cashier him. Ted is a save the whales down with the struggle liberal.
Liberals often go after any old photo of black face to further their cause. I am not sure what page of the Democrat playbook, but it is in there.
So it is a big deal and we will not let go of it any more than you will.
So stuff your sanctimony.
Justin Trudeau Campaign Hit With Publication of Three Different Photos of Him in 'Brownface'

It is a habit for Trudeau. It is not a shocker; he is a liberal.
Wait until Trump starts campaigning against Trudeau.
"let he who is without sin throw the first stone"
It is what Christ is reported to have said when a crowd was about to stone someone to death for whatever it was that they did. They left off "the rest of the story" of course.
Just after saying "let he who is without sin throw the first stone" (loosely quoted of course} an old woman pushed her war out of the crowd and smashed the guy's head in with a bolder she could hardly lift to which Christ said "you know sometimes you piss me right off, mother."
@wnu you don't get how the "left" works quite yet. If you are a progressive anything is allowed. Blackface is nothing. Sure, there will be a couple of days lip service as always but that's it. Look at all the scandals worldwide on the left. From meth junks who are "serious TV reporters on cnn" to child molestors to murderers to race war mongerers to mob forming to intimidation tactics to cancel culture. This is all them. The left is the new ultra far right and they are scary as fck because they are quite literally insane. A mass hypnosis among the population comparable to 1933-1941 in Nazi and pre Nazi Germany. Their targets? White entitled people. You can be a full blown racist on the left (Don Lemon) as long as you hate on the right group. That's important to them. The only rule to join this money grabbing people of outrage activists. Insane people. No real moral compass. Sheep with no leader and no no self reflection whatsoever. If a crazed left wing leader now emerges then anything goes. The reason for antisemitic crime is likely also them. Who is more entitled and evil than a white jew to them? Only a country club golf swinging dude like Trump. And he's got Jewish relatives. This bastard. Lol but that's their mentality. So they will forgive Trudeau because he's one of them. He gets it. He's woke
