Conrad Black: Trudeau's not a racist, just a hypocrite and a weak leader
National Post ^ | September 20, 2019 | Conrad Black

Posted on 09/21/2019 8:48:27 AM PDT by billorites

The election campaign to date has been an exercise in idiocy and cowardice. It is obviously embarrassing for Justin Trudeau to have had to admit to attending an Aladdin-themed party in 2001 made up to look like Aladdin (although Aladdin was an Arab not an African, and blackening his hands was oddly laborious). But Maxime Bernier is right that Justin is not a racist, just a hypocrite. As Tucker Carlson, the Fox News commentator, said on Thursday night, the prime minister’s conduct is “sort of like finding out your super-sensitive brother-in-law, the one who tells you he’s a feminist, the one who’s always scolding you for your sexism is, in fact, hitting on the babysitter.” The story broke in Time magazine and the spectacle of the United States splitting its sides laughing at a Canadian politician as they did over the late Toronto mayor Rob Ford is distressing to most Canadians. They rejoice in mocking American leaders; the reverse is mortifyingly embarrassing.

In fact, there was probably no intent to mock any racial or ethnic group in the several incidents that have been revealed (after Justin said on Wednesday night that there had only been one other in his life). This propensity for absurd costumes, from Superman and Lawrence of Arabia to the Afro wig and features, and the dreadful fiasco in India where he inflicted subterraneanly silly costumes on his entire family, is affected and worrisome. He was a drama teacher and his father liked exotic costumes and foreign lands, but poncing through India in traditional outfits was like the prime minister of France and his family coming to Canada dressed like Jacques Cartier in frilly shirts and voluminous breeches, buckled shoes and three-cornered felt hats.

Exactly, he could have let a minority have his job, but nooooooo!

Don’t offer them a lifeline on anything until they start acting sane again.

Trudeau has a fettish about pretending to be someone else. Justin's exhibitionism resulted in a dreadful fiasco.
On an official trip to India he outfitted his entire family like Indians, rehearsed to act out tableaus mimicking Indians.

Justin prays to Buddha that no one will find pics of him
in blackface singing "Day-O" dressed like Harry Belafonte.

Well, he can hardly help it, considering his parentage (especially the mother, photographed at Studio 54, drunk, with her dress hiked up, showing that she wore no underwear).

Oy. A lot of people don’t have perfect parents, but that would be difficult.

Except leftists are incredibly racist. They treat minorities as weak and stupid, and they treat whites and all conservatives as evil. It’s a hateful racist ideology.

Justin is not a racist

I don't actually care if he is or isn't a racist. Give 'em back what they give us, with interest. He's a racist under their rules for us, therefore he really is a racist.

Too bad Trudeau handled it like such a kitty cat. Cringe worthy. The only people he “hurt” are the ones who laughed so hard their chest ached afterwards.

Yes he is, and if he was a conservative, he would be considered a double racist. 👎

If it is a duck and quacks like a duck, then its a duck. When does duck hunting season open in Canananada?

Speaking of parents, Justin’s daddy is Pierre Trudeau. In English, Pierre Trudeau translates to Peter Waterhole.
