Prime Minister of Canada wearing Blackface (brownface)

Tucker Carlson slams the left for its hypocrisy:

Megyn Kelly was shown no mercy for merely suggesting that blackface might be acceptable as part of a costume on Halloween. She was fired from NBC. Trudeau, who actually wore blackface at least three times, is praised for apologizing. The left finds it much easier to forgive one of their own.

The least objectionable option was Clinton. Who won the popular vote. Despite the slander against her.

She was clearly the better candidate. But a sizable percentage of people in the world are idiots. Who fall for fake news.

I think that many of the Clinton votes were not for her, but against Trump (and vice-versa).

I contend that neither one was a particularly strong candidate.

He actually takes Tucker Carlson as a legitimate source of level-headed opinion. Jeez Louise!

But on a more serious note:

In a 2006 appearance, Carlson said he has “zero sympathy” for Iraqis because they “don’t use toilet paper or forks,” adding that they should “just shut the **** up and obey” us. He also called Iraqis “semiliterate primitive monkeys.”

On page 1, you asked where the free pass for Trudeau is. We can clearly see here that some days later, the left has given him a "free pass". There are clearly different rules for those on the other side of the political spectrum. Mock all you want, its clearly what you do best.

Where is the free pass? I'm still looking for it. Why do people keep making up random crap and try to pass it off as fact?

I said on this thread we need to see his reaction and how he handles this...you ignored that and went straight to "free pass".

After other instances of his black/brownfacing came up, I said on this thread he needs to go...you ignored that and went straight to "free pass".

The day before the pictures emerged, “the Liberals were at or very close to a majority” in the House of Commons, Graves said. “That’s completely turned around and maybe the Conservatives are in majority range now.”

“The Liberals’ Ontario lead appears to have evaporated almost overnight,” he added. At the end of August, the Liberals had a 15 percentage point lead on Conservatives Ontario, according to an EKOS poll. - https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/election-2019/trudeau-campaigns-after-blackface-images-deliver-blow-to-polling-numbers

Again, you went straight to "free pass".

Trudeau is very quick to hold others to a standard that he excuses himself from.  He's done it enough times now to show he's a sanctimonious hypocrite.  But, it doesn't seem like his party is willing to put their supposed values ahead of their chances of winning re-election.  The shine is definitely off Trudeau, but I still think Canadians are so desperate to be seen as the nice guys compared to our southern neighbours, this man-child will win another term. 

Listen to this:

Just like to point out that in his embarrassing photo, Rob Ford was embracing people of color, not mocking them. 

Well, people and a crack pipe.

I can’t believe Trudeau is still dressing up like this?!?!?

Has he no shame?

His attention to detail is impressive.  He must be pumped Halloween is after the election. 

I also liked how when asked if any more photos or videos would surface of him in blackface he said "He didn't know."  Clearly, he did this a fair bit. 

The first time I ever voted, I did so for Justin's father. Justin is a very far cry from his old man and is a national and international embarrassment who has done much more harm for Canada than Trump has come close to doing for the USA.

But who cares about that. His brown/black face thing came from ignorance and privilege. He said so himself and I'll take his word on it. He is not a racist or anything close to it.

But who cares about that. What I want to know is this. Why is the media not freaking out about the connection between Justin and his BFF / college roommate the pedophile? Why is nobody talking about this? Justin shared a room for years with a pedophile and has been best buds with him for many more years than that. Does anyone really believe Justin had no inkling whatsoever about his BFF's hankering for kids?

Either way, knew or not, it is reason enough why he should be thrown out, now. Perhaps investigated.

Hadn't heard of that.  And, I know some people that make a point of pointing out his weaknesses on FB.  I'll have to google that one. 

I don't think he is racist either.  I think like every other person he's done some dumb things when he was young.  The problem is, every dumb thing someone did can no longer be moved on from.  I would have some sympathy for Justin if he had not demonstrated such a propensity to call out and quickly judge everyone else for doing such things.  And on the numerous times he has in turn been called out on something, he has apologized and excused himself.

Justin's Father is noted communist and amateur boxing fan, Fidel Castro. We all know that. I've known it for years. His father must be turning in his mausoleum.

Justin could fall down a flight of stairs while fingering his own bumhole on live TV and he would still be many many miles behind Trump in the national embarrassment and harm stakes.

Good point...

It's just so pathetic to see how many conservative white people cannot get over Trudeau wearing blackface not knowing that Trudeau apologized for it, and yet these conservative white people still refuse to denounce white supremacists and refuse to speak for Indigenous rights because of their natural-born bias and hate against Indigenous people.

This thread is literally over a year old, so I'd hazard a guess that most of them got over it.

Good point...

Except he spent that whole election calling Andrew Sheer and Maxime Bernier Racist over and over again.  It's okay to lie about anyone on the right and assassinate their character while trying to uinderstand "what he really meant" and he "didn't really mean it" for leftists.  Trudeau gets excuses made for him while the other side would not.  I am all in favor of leaving one incident behind in the past if it is done for everyone and not just some.  (Though Trudeau doing it many times including the last "known" time at age 29 which is old enough to know better.)

I'm sure you'd take the same position if a conservative was doing black face. 

The conservatives are not in power.  Justin Brownface is, and he has done a great job of speaking up for indigenous rights.  He has even cried about it.  What he hasn't done as the Prime Minister is actually do anything more than virtue signal about it.  Talk is cheap.

And, perhaps, you're aware of the systemic problems with the chief system and how much siphoning off of funds meant for a whole first nations group goes on.  Actually, you're probably not.  Anyways, that conservative Stephen Harper tried to do something about it by saying he was going to send in an auditor because so many people in this tribe were impoverished while the chief lived in a mansion and had loads of vehicles.  Predictably, the chiefs were up in arms about this trampling of their rights and threatening to block the auditor from access to the community.  So, nothing changed.  But, blame the conservatives, even though it's not factual or helpful. All the parties in Ottawa have failed the indigenous groups of Canada.  Do you even know about the scoop, and how long that went on?
