    The entire clip and I'm right here.

    I understand you are OK with white people blackfacing. You claim that ground I am more than happy to let you occupy it for everyone to see.

    And you're still running away from answering the question:
    When did Trudeau mock black people? Be specific of what he did that was mocking black people. Here is a definition of mocking:
    adjective
    adjective: mocking

    And here is a definition of derisive:

    It's like with Bill Clinton when sexual harassment and assault of subordinate workers suddenly wasn't so bad anymore for the left.

    The crying little baby, leftist, and pro-immigrationist Trudeau wear a black face, but he isn't racist. Wearing black face is only racist when a conservative does it. Got it!

    If people are offended by the image of Trudeau they need to get a life.

    I'll bet that dead people are offended at being portrayed as zombies in zombie movies. They are depicted as horrible things.

    I wonder what we will be criticized for in the future? All of this whining by "offended" people seems like a propaganda campaign that Chinese commies would use as a way to control people. It won't be long before we all get social credit scores.

    When well-known people are lambasted for decades-old social misdeeds it conditions the population to accept the new system. We will see many more instances of things like this in the near future.

    Totally cool with that. You want to see a white person make a taco? Walk into taco bell? My Aunt made us tacos a few months back, and shes white. I've seen white people around the city with dreadlocks because they have naturally curly hair. Also totally fine.

    Racism is the belief that one race is inherently superior to another mentally, or to discriminate against someone simply based on the color of their skin. Engaging in someone else's culture or dressing up, isn't racist, its just copying.

    I never said I was ok with blackface being used to be racist, dehumanize, or insult black people. That is very wrong, and I simply never said that. What I said is that I am fine with blackface, whiteface, or any other cultural or racial costume being used simply to have fun during Halloween and dress up as another culture in a way that is culturally respectful.

    No. It's quite two-faced. Considering that Democrats call EVERYTHING "racist", why is it that the first time it really is, Democrats say it isn't? If they need someone to portray an African American, they don't get a white guy, they get an African American. He's been caught at least 3 times doing this, so it's definitely not an accident. He not only blackens his face, but also his neck, arms hands and legs. In the video, he's laughing and flailing his arms around like an ape. Even a newspaper in Canada thought so. Obviously the Democrats deal in double standards. Call it out for what it is------RACISM. Even Trudeau admitted as much. Democrats can't be calling out others for what they do themselves. It's hypocritical and phony and everyone knows it.

    This has nothing to do with Democrats champ. I was simply suggesting that calling all people from the Far East Orientals is disrespectful. Whatever Trudeau did in a theatrical production for whatever reason is not offensive in my book. Neither was it offensive when Don Rickles and Joey Bishop were made up with dark pigmentation to play Native Americans back in the day. I also liked F-Troop and the Jewish Indian Chief.

    What a tempest in a teapot. My sister used to teach at the same college where Trudeau taught and they have Arabian Night and other galas all the time. Nobody batted an eye at the time. The college in question has issued a statement saying more or less themed galas were a regular norm at the time and it refused to apologize for the incident.

    Watching the conservatives and NDP trying to score crass political points over this is nauseating.

    I may have to apologize to the anti-PC crowd on this site.

    Of course this whole Brown Face Thing is much ado about nothing, Trudeau is a Liberal Progressive Hypocrite and his supporters are just as Hypocritical as you are. Trump will also be Re-elected, because the Fake! sense of being offended by everything Trump is nothing more than a ploy by Liberals to drum up hatred for Donald Trump. For those of us who support him and those on the Fence who arn't sure who to vote for in 2020, We are now completely aware of this Liberal Hypocrisy and what Democrats are trying to accomplish. Thank you for exposing this.

    I am ok with whiteface, or any other face, and cultural costumes only as long as they are done respectfully and not to insult or degrade. I respect the opinions of civil rights advocates like Al Sharpton, but I do have some disagreements with them, and agree with them on a lot of other things.

    For example, Eddie Murphy did a social comedy skit in whiteface. And he did it to make a point about race. I am not offended that he applied paint to his face to portray my race, and found the points he made to be interesting.

    The left is blowing this off as nothing, but the left said the movie Mary Poppins is racist because Julie Andrew blacked up.

    I'm just happy that it's ok to wear black face again. If anyone gives me crap on Halloween I can say it's a Justin Trudeau costume.

    Yeah, you're good to go, wear anything you like. If someone confronts you, remind them of this incident, then laugh as you observe the squeaky wheels attempting to turn in their head.
