This Witch doesn't burn

I asked you kizzy if you would have done the same thing 18 years ago, my point was you are a similar age to him, it wasn't acceptable in any shape or form 18 years ago, so not sure why people are trying to say it was and I am 100 per cent sure you wouldn't have so I don't get the defence, or that he was learning about the world and progressing

In a sane World, we know that all he did was attend a fancy dress party, in a sane World people don't apologise for doing that. But he did apologise, which tells us we're not living in a sane World. |

and there is a video lool
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a third allegation of wearing racist attire when he was younger. A video has emerged which shows him with "blackface" - only a day after he apologised for two similar episodes. His Liberal Party has confirmed that the latest video is genuine and dates from the early 1990s. The revelations come in the middle of campaigning for the 21 October election when Mr Trudeau hopes to win a second term. What is in the latest video to emerge? The footage, first obtained by Global News, shows Mr Trudeau in a white t-shirt and torn jeans. His face and limbs appear to be covered in black make-up. He is seen laughing, throwing his hands in the air, sticking his tongue out and pulling faces. Mr Trudeau would have been in his late teens or early 20s. What about the other episodes? On Wednesday, the embattled PM apologised for wearing "brownface" make-up at a gala at a private Vancouver school where he taught nearly two decades ago. The 2001 yearbook picture obtained by Time Magazine shows Mr Trudeau, then aged 29, with skin-darkening make-up on his face and hands at the West Point Grey Academy. Addressing the image, Mr Trudeau said he "deeply regretted" his actions and "should have known better". The second image to emerge on Wednesday shows Mr Trudeau performing in a talent show as a student at high school. He wore "blackface" and sang Day-O, a Jamaican folk song popularised by American civil rights activist Harry Belafonte. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49758613 Last edited by bitontheslide; 19-09-2019 at 02:48 PM. |

It is starting to look like a bit of a fetish for him now. Who knows? Maybe he is a massive racist behind closed doors, it wouldn't surprise me if he is.

I dont think this is a bad or good thing, it just is. Look at actors, there was a scandal when non Asian actors played Asian roles and recently in london where there was no Jewish person playing in a Jewish musical. We will need to accept the new rules. I have no problem with it tbh. |

Hmm, I think the important part of this is that he apologised and he's pretty much shown through his policies and his term that he's very much an ally of diversity. If these photos still reflected who he is today then he should be hung out and left to dry for it but I don't think it does.
I don't see the point of dragging someone over the coals for something they did 20+ years ago IF they've shown they've changed and grown. Hopefully he can make amends for the past and what is an obviously well timed attack from the right and their constant faux outrage will fall flat. If he was still that same person then drag away but I don't think that's the case. |

Unless there's evidence proving that he's still the idiot he was when he took these photos then this is nothing more than an attack and a hypocritical amount of faux outrage on the part of the right |

I guess Jim Davidson had some personal growth as well, given he no longer uses his Chalky gags

Trudeau is now saying he can't remember how many times he did blackface, that implies he did it a lot. In a political family that's quite an admission
