Justin Trudeau wore.... Brown face!

From Trudeau's Facebook feed:

"What I did was deeply hurtful to people who live with intolerance and discrimination every day. I recognize that, and I take full responsibility for it. I know that I let a lot of people down with that choice, and I am deeply sorry. I come from a place of privilege, and I've endeavoured in my life to put the advantages and the opportunities I've been given to serve our country, to fight for peoples' rights. I am asking for your forgiveness so we can keep up that important work."

Not really. He has to know he wore those costumes, and he would also know the political implications if the public became aware of them.

However, I also don’t think we should expect leaders to proactively apologize for everything they did in their youth that is potentially offensive to someone...unless we want our leaders to sound like Chunk’s confession in the Goonies.

Is it? Did he bring this to light himself to clear the air, apologize? Or only after it came to light from actions beyond his own? He's sorry he got caught. Now dance puppet, let us know how it isn't a big deal here but is when a conservative does it.

You know, if Trump has just stepped up and admitted he banged those hookers and pornstars while Melania was giving birth to her bodyguards son..... I mean... Right?

Did he? Is there any proof? Even if he did, that isn't racism or an action detrimental to our country. In fact, I hope Trump DID get pissed on by Russian hookers. What a great president! I bet Obama was only into missionary with the lights off.

Yes I'm sure he had been losing sleep at night wondering when/if this damning information would ever be exposed. Probably been spending taxpayer money to keep it quiet this whole time.
 
Thanks Woolfe you articulate my point on this exactly. Privilege puts blinders on and for a lot of us who grew up that way we all remember times when the racism was worse and the reaction minimal. Where your head is at as societal norms change can lead or lag, what I did 30/40 years ago isn't to be judged today.

That's how you measure Presidential prowess then you've got serious issues. Personally I think its kinda pathetic.

Don't forget if the roles were to be reversed (blacks/hispanics/asians doing white culture things) then it's A-OKAY! Yay for double standards in your political correctness soup.

Isn’t that just called...assimilation? Explain to me again what the conservative ideal for America is—is it one big melting pot, or Baskin Robbins 31 multicultural Flavors???
