Trudeau says he cannot be 'definitive' that there are not more blackface photos

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."

blackface photos

Even he calls them "Blackface" when Faux News cowardly defers to "Brownface"

pictures of Justin’s roles....

One he failed at so badly there isn’t a picture: being a man.

There are so many reasons to despise Trudeau. What he wore to a masquerade 20 years ago is not one of them.

He saw this and dropped to one knee, held out his arms and said “Mammy.Mammy. I’d walk a million miles for one of your smiles, my mammy.”

Papa, I could do it all except the beard thing. Just doesn’t grow like yours. I failed.

Right man?

Plus with the projects five blocks away, we had enough fights and trouble with them and on a night of fun, even if it’s being seen in a car, who wants a race fight on Halloween?

These guys, the so called Champions of black people, probably didn’t live within MILES and MILES of one.

But blacks will keep voting for them.

Reminds me of a 1970s movie WATERMELON MAN.

Godfry Cambridge begins as a white man who is not concerned about the conditions of blacks in this country.

He wakes up one day to discover he is now black...and hilarity ensues /s

I personally believe it is wrong to judge the past by today’s standards since some time in the future we all are going to be judge the then current standards and we will come off poorly.

Trudeau is funnier than the late-show hosts. I recall the time he and his family dressed up like Indians while visiting India.
