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.
Trudeaus 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 shouldnt have done it, I should have known better, but I didnt," Trudeau said Wednesday night, referring to the 2001 photo. "And Im really sorry."

“It is almost certain that someone wearing blackface at that time never considered it to be racist.”
Growing up in the 40’s and 50’s I can remember watching many skits at the local high school (Florida) with black face funnies. Also, it was common in minstrels. Several Hollywood movies had it too.
Then, when the left/media thought they could use it to smear Republicans it suddenly became “racist”. The opportunistic left never misses an opportunity. Hypocrisy? Nah. Media simply turns their head if/when a protected class member gets caught in the act. Bunch of phonies.

He and most lefties have no shame to go with their lack of common sense and a not having a clue - while thinking they are good people, great people who understand the complexities of the world and how the arc of progress needs to be advanced. More people can experience, be, understand all these different personas el premier has put on an lived - or some such BS. A Prime Mister Potato head in more ways then one this shining example of a liberal thought leader -
He is a narcissistic sociopathic racist, like the rest of of them - just dumber.

"It isnt like he was making fun from what I can tell - he was dressed as a character who has dark skin. So what?"
Yes, he was playing Aladdin who does have brown skin.
My initial reaction was also: so what?
However, since the lefties want to make "racism" the issue du jour, I say, give it back to them in spades.
No pun intended, just make them play by the same rules they have set for normal people.
O/T, but the Ralph Northam pictures are CLEARLY racist.
I have no idea how he has kept his job over those.

Yeah. I did it. Blackface? What the big deal? I could care less if one to walk around a white face.
When I lived in Jersey City the home boys called me cracker all the time when I trained at rocky Marciano’s gym. Autoro Gatti called me Gorillo Blanc. Rest his soul. He was French Canadian. I laughed at it. And they would laugh when I made fun of them. All luv. Some actually saw me looking like a member of Run DMC. I’m independently wealthy through entrepreneurship
I don’t have to live in the PC world.
Peace out honkie:)
