Justin Trudeau, Canadas 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.

CNN's Don Lemon knocks Trump while praising Justin Trudeau's apology over brownface photo
but, less than a year ago, this same demented man
blasted Megyn Kelly, who has never worn black face, but
apologized for making a comment about wearing it for Halloween costumes?
The CNN panel also offered a defense for Trudeau, with commentators stressing that "context matters" according to them, Trudeau's photo was vastly different from Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's 1986 blackface photo.
Yet, two different photos and a third video have appeared of Trudeau, who indeed admitted it was him in ALL three instances, and also admitted, that there could be more.
Trudeau has also thanked the media for calling it makeup, but claimed it was not makeup, but indeed it was black face!

Belafonte's political beliefs were greatly inspired by the singer, actor and Communist activist Paul Robeson, who mentored him.
"
There is an old saying, in the days of slavery. There were those slaves who lived on the plantation, and there were those slaves who lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master, do exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. That gave you privilege. Colin Powell is committed to come into the house of the master, as long as he would serve the master, according to the master's purpose. And when Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture. And you don't hear much from those who live in the pasture. " ~~~
Harry Belafonte, Oct. 10 2002
