I don't think anyone seriously believes that Trudeau is a racist, but it is quite amusing to see one of the most "woke" World leaders currently in position get caught out like this.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Agreed. It must be very embarrassing for him.
Quite amusing to hear the outrage from the right though. Normally when a case like this is in the news they'd be insisting the person involved had done nothing wrong, its PC gone mad etc. Now its a resigning matter.

Basic politics. If my guy does it it's OK. If yours does it he's a bastard.

He hasn't had a pat on the head or been given a free pass. He's being rightly criticized.
Bit of a difference though. Unlike Trump or Johnson he hasn't got a history of offensive racist remarks. And he's apologized immediately and profusely. Do you reckon Trump would do the same?
Indeed. But hes positioned himself as a leader of Canada, primarily based on his politics of diversity, inclusion, liberalism etc. Its a progressive country in that respect, but hes been made to look a bit of a tool here.
He has had criticism, but come on. The world would go into meltdown if it was one of the blonde fraggles.
Tell you what though. A couple of my team and based in Toronto, they are in their 20s and they are not impressed, this hasnt gone down well with younger Canadians particularly. Fwiw, im sure there was nothing in it from him, but apologising doesnt excuse it. Lesser people have lost jobs and careers over stuff like this - not that i have a vested interest as im neither black or Canadian and dont believe he should lose his. The double standards are amusing tho.

If it hasn't gone down well with younger Canadians then he hasn't had a free pass has he? He's being rightly criticized, as I've already said.
I doubt people are losing their jobs for this if it was done 20 years ago.
He certainly has been made to look a tool. if you present yourself as an uber liberal "woke" person this type of thing is highly embarrassing. But I doubt anybody seriously thinks he's a racist ma. Unlike the blond fraggles.

Nah, hes no racist. Way too modern man for that it appears
The free pass thing i was talking about on here and in this country media. There would have been calls to bring back the gallows or chop off their heads and sell their locks for pillow case filler. Dont get any ideas.
"Michu, Britton and Williams could have won 3-0 on their own. They wouldn't have required a keeper."
The timing is too good though. Someone has obviously been sitting on these revelations waiting until just before an election.

It must be very difficult being one of these contrarian gammon snowflakes these days. Defend the right to black up or pile scorn upon the leftie PM?
Outrage culture hypocrisy at its best.
Culture hypocrisy, made me laugh that. I challenge pretty much everyone to look back at their lives and say there's nothing they are ashamed of. I know there's different degrees and blacking up is considered a very bad thing these days but 20 years ago, it wasn't. We are wasy to busy applying todays rules to the past, not just 20 years ago either. People rant on about all sorts of things from 100's of years back. Maybe one day someone will claim bringing the potato here was culrural appropriation! Look at the past, learn from it, but you cannot apply todays rules to a time when the rules were much different. Maybe, just maybe Trudeau was a tad racist in the past but he became more educated, more aware? Would that be such a bad thing?
It's becoming ever more difficult to work out modern day revisionsim.
Terms that were innocent and inoffensive are now terms of naked insult; why do we not stop with the likes of "blackmail" as that has sinister connotations.
Black and White Minstrells is prime example,a huge show in the 50 s my ol mum loved,as did millions but not really sure she saw the blacking up as racist. Thereagain,nowadays ,we are smarter ,more intelligent and educated ;like feck we are. Look around.
Trudeau?..His dad,Pierre ,was a divisive character but a good sh'gger apparently.

Of course he’s not racist but he deserves all the stick he’s getting because of the way he is with others. David Lammy is being hammered online because of his silence on the matter. He’d be 50 tweets deep and marching the streets if it had been pictures of boris or Trump.
He's lost count? Matthew Hopkins Witchfinder General standards not applied i.e. He should not be labelled a racist, common sense allowances must be made.... but apparently he is very PC/woke.... Recent news does rather make him look a fool and its best if he leaves all his virtue signalling hot air behind.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologized again for wearing blackface in three separate incidents and said he did not know how many times he had put on racist makeup https://t.co/wT7r0AldkS

Ill advised but innocent social activities from nearly 20 years ago. I suppose Prince Harry is a fully paid up member of the Nazi Party in your eyes, is he? I wonder what indiscretions will be dug up next? Perhaps the police have been called out to his home because he was heard abusing his girlfriend? Oh no, wait, that was.....

It's not that long ago though. This was 8 years after they started the Kick it Out campaign in football, for example. So I don't think he's got much of an excuse. Very stupid given his high profile background too.
Uh, we Woke ones like to say Peopleitoba, not necessarily Manitoba.
It's OK, "we can all learn from each other."

I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited Canada several times and folk there have always appeared entirely sane and grounded to me. The same goes for the South in the US which I have criss-crossed for countless miles, not a hint of madness have I encountered anywhere.
Nary a ‘woke’ shemale or a ‘Nazi’ gun nut. I’m half convinced they only exist in the media.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.
Trudeau must have known he was in trouble when he couldn’t answer the journalists question of whether he could round it to the “nearest 5” number of times he had worn blackface.
