I don't see any overt racism in any of those photos. I understand the history behind "Blackface" and this isn't it.
 
The top ones look like the same "Arabian Nights" event to me.

I have no idea what the bottom one is supposed to be.

And that is what the issue is. Everyone is screaming "off with his head" and yet they have no context for the last photo.
 
If I were Canadian, I would probably care about this. But though we sometimes resemble Canada, Maine is still in the US, and we have enough of our own black-face issues to go 'round.
 
I'm hurt and angry that someone I thought was a champion of marginalized groups turns out to be yet another bigot.

Traitors are worse than enemies IMO. We can defeat Nazis and Trumpites easily if we have a united front, but people like Trudeau hurt that united front.

Who else do you feel united with?
 
I mean considering Trudeau is Latino I don’t see how this is really a problem :p

Exactly. It is only a problem if a white person does it. Oh wait. A republican white person. My mistake.
 
Oh for the love of pete.... He was dressed as a Genie as part of a High School's 1001 Arabian nights-themed event. I can see Genies maybe getting upset by this portrayal.... but everyone else this legitimately offends needs to get grip.

Yes, thats basically it. This entire issue is idiotic.
 
ruh roh.

Seems the young man stepped over the line. But will he get a pass? And he has also admitted to wearing a black face.

====================
Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister, wore brownface makeup to a party at the private school where he was teaching in the spring of 2001. TIME has obtained a photograph of the incident.

The photograph has not been previously reported. The picture was taken at an “Arabian Nights”-themed gala. It shows Trudeau, then the 29-year-old son of the late former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, wearing a turban and robes with his face, neck and hands completely darkened. The photograph appears in the 2000-2001 yearbook of West Point Grey Academy, a private day school where Trudeau was a teacher.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized Wednesday night for wearing brownface at a 2001 “Arabian Nights”-themed party—less than two hours after TIME published a previously unreported yearbook photo from the event at the private school where he was teaching.

In a new revelation, Trudeau also admitted that he wore blackface “makeup” in high school to sing “Day-O,” a Jamaican folk song famously performed by African-American singer and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte.

Whataboutism. This thread is about Trudeau not Trump.

Like show her your dic Kevanugh, we all do things in our youth we regret. Some just make more out of it for political reasons, wouldn't you agree ?

10 Stars Whose Blackface Blunders Backfired, From Ted Danson to Kylie Jenner (Photos)

Liberals are really good at doing the whole blackface thing. I think some of the white ones consider themselves black.

And to think, Megan Kelly got fired just for asking if wearing a costume of Dianna Ross on Halloween should be considered racist. She was labeled a horrible, insensitive racist for the question... but the same people bend over backwards to defend liberals who actually wear blackface. They even go so far as to invent new terms for it... it's not "black face" when they do it, you see, it's "skin darkening" ...
 
Maybe, but there does appear to be a pattern here. You could justify one of the pics perhaps, but we're now up 2 pics plus a video.
Its definitely odd behaviour for an adult

Oh c'mon

An old man walks in on teenage girls in various forms of undress, and brags about it. Gets a pass, even though the old perv has a pattern of such behavior. Yet the Canadian PM is the Rights new punching bag. The Right needs to clean thier own house.

I remember reading about (can't remember who) someone that had tanned themselves, and got comments that they were trying to be black. WTF is wrong with these people?

I have to give credit to twitter for boiling this whole hypocrisy down to it's absurd core:

"Northam and Trudeau are only governors and heads of state, they shouldn't be held to the same standard as comedians..."

Well, she of pale skin and conservative needed to be destroyed and NBC found the perfect foil
 
Imagine one of these young gentlemen was Kavanaugh...
