Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized Thursday after three instances of him in blackface resurfaced in less than 24 hours, but left open the possibility that more footage could come to light.
“I am wary of being definitive about this, because the recent pictures that came out, I had not remembered,” Trudeau said, according to CNBC.
Trudeau’s comments come after a video resurfaced on Thursday that showed Trudeau in dark makeup, raising his hands in the air and making faces while wearing a white T-shirt and jeans ripped at the knees.

When asked if there were other similar instances during his apology, Trudeau told reporters he also wore dark makeup at a high school talent show while performing the Harry Belafonte song “Day-O.”
“I shouldn’t have done it, I should have known better, but I didn’t," Trudeau said Wednesday night, referring to the 2001 photo. "And I’m really sorry."

He did it so many times and was so cavalier about it he can't recall how many times he did it.

I think most CONSERVATIVES can remember how many times we dressed in blackface: ZERO.
I also think most CONSERVATIVES can remember how many times we thought skits in blackface were funny: ZERO

And I cannot confirm if my turban is dirty.

This shows the level of insanity on the Left, and its control over the Mediacracy.
This should be a non-issue.
It is almost certain that someone wearing blackface at that time never considered it to be racist.
It is ironic justice, however, that such a politically correct blowhard as Trudeau get smeared with this.

Yeah, but I still think Old Dracula is hilarious.
For those that never saw it. Spoiler alert!!!
Old Dracula played by David Niven is trying to find a blood type to match his wife so he can bring her back from the dead.
His assistants find a match but it’s a black woman, and when his wife is revived she turns black. And she immediately rises up and bites David Niven who also turns black.
The movie ends with Van Helsing about to drive a stake into Dracula’s heart. But Dracula turns around at the last second and stares at Van Helsing with his black face and blue eyes. That causes Van Helsing to hesitate and police grab Van Helsing and haul him away.

Is this an “intellectual” thing to do?
Because among myself and my friends when we were young, it NEVER occurred to us to wear blackface.
We weren’t for or against it.
It just NEVER occurred to us.
