A disgrace that he's even had to speak about it. Pathetic hatchet journalism finding offence where there is none.

Put up a headline that says 'PM paints face brown and wears turban' suggests something racial. Then the editorial says he's dressed up at a fancy dress party as Aladdin.

Total arse holes.

It’s sure got people confused. He was heralded as a beacon of progressiveness and now they don’t know what to do or say.

He’s made a faux pas from a different time. Move on.

Seriously my exact thoughts x

I read the article and genuinely thought wtf , seriously, faux outrage at absolutely nothing,

Racists need to understand true nasty racism before the project utter nonsense as a slur

Just a side note right wing terrorism has been remarked by police as on the increase, including a foiled plot to pretend to be Islamists and cause human deaths

It's simple racism is mainly intent , and that intent can manifest itself in many combinations of words actions and consequence

He went to a party , his intent , look good have a good time , I think he succeeded

The irony of this is I feel it is racist to suggest a person cannot dress or emulate a character because of a skin tone difference. The meer suggestion it is, is a parody

Oh okay, its fine because it was just casual racism, and not lynching you up by a tree racism.

I have never black faced, and I was around in the 80s. I have never even seen one person black faced, even at halloween parties.

If it was 60's, 70's or 80's I would have told people to forget about it. If it was 90's it would have been dodgy, but the 2000's?

Some rich/important cunts kid just doing what he pleases, some yob twat.

Swastika at halloween, would have been fine, youre supposed to dress up as scary/evil stuff, but black face?

Out of curiosity have you ever black faced?

It's got ridiculous. This hunting down people's past looking for misdemeanors to discredit them. These tactics have mainly been used by the left against the right, and now its happening the other way. For those who approved of it happening to people on the right who are now complaining when it happens to the left, it's hypocritical and smacks of double standards. The extremists are making all of the noise on both sides (and I have no time for either). But sadly the majority, who are more centrist, are being pulled to the extremes as they force everyone to take a side.

People have lost the run of themselves looking for anything to attack. Both sides. We need a bit of common sense brought back.

So I think the the phrase is here with Trudeau and the left is "Hoisted by his own petard".

Agreed its always been there, what's shifted is the narrative around it and the fact that every Tom, Dick, and Harriet is joining in. It used to only be the politicians and journalists.

And also agreed on who's doing the pushing. Virtue signalling people that are often doing more harm than good for the people they claim to be advocating for.

Just becuase in that case in took years for the public call her out doesn't make it less racist.

I have seen interviews of some actors from back in the 50s/60's who black faced for a part in a comedy/film/drama.

They nearly all said at the time it was unsavoury, but they didnt find it flat out racist, and if they could have refused the part they would have.

So even back then people knew it was at the edge

But in Canada the populist movement is the "social justice warrior" people. You would get serious points for not ignoring this and going after Justin as if he were a right wing racist in Canada. You would get no points for ignoring it cause then they would see you as hypocritical.

Nope! Just making light of the situation. Everyone blows these things out of proportion. For goodness sake everyone has done things in their past that might look a bit out of the norm for 2019.

Its incredibly easy for people who arent affected by this bollocks every day of their lives to make light of it & move on, isn't it.. And that's the point.

You may have important causes you fight for in life that mean eff all to the majority, some of us respect the fact it means something to you & either help, or quietly move on, as opposed to "making light of it", aka, taking the piss out of people for having beliefs that you don't understand..

That willful ignorance followed by piss taking isn't something to be proud of, even if it is incredibly common online these days.

Ideally, part of being a president or prime minister is having a decent morals, ideally a lifetime of decent moral compass. If someone portays themself as having morals, then it later emerges they`ve been a wanker earlier in their life, it makes you question how genuine they are, & disappoints a good many people who thought you were representing them.

Its like Saville, loads of celebrities & royalty thought the sun shone out of his arse, after all, he did a lorra work for charity.. When that particular turd hit the fan, all those previously associated with him would have been shocked & disappointed, then distanced themselves, unsurprisingly, its the same thing (for many) here.

Is an apology enough? That's not for us to judge, as 1. we`re not Canadian, & 2. We aren't the people "blacking up" offends the most.. An apology doesn't cut it for me, personally.

"You know, its funny, I actually Googled "the Whitest places in the UK" this morning, most of the commenters making light on this topic come from places placed near the top of that very list, like in the 98% & above range... Coincidence? No, entirely predictable..

I`m fairly certain these are people who vehemently defend Golliwogs too.

Theres no point trying to explain things like this to people so willfully ignorant.. Totally pointless.

Interesting you say that as I saw a study that showed that UK nationals most worried about immigrants lived in areas with the lowest levels of immigrants.

People absolutely do defend golliwogs. I've witnessed it myself unfortunately.

"Why are people harping on about this? Remember the Black & White Minstrel Show Mr BBC? "

Yes, and it was cancelled for being racist in 1978. But people in this thread want to defend someone black facing in 2001.

No one black person speaks for all black people, same as no one White person speaks for all white people.

No one person born in the 50's speaks for everyone born in the 50's.

We live in a mixed society and it's not down to any one age group or skin colour to define what is and isn't racist behaviour. Some people are just stupid, or overly sensitive and just because they cry 'Racism' It doesn't make it so. Some people are just stupid and insensitive, just because they scream 'Snowflake' it doesnt mean they're not racist.

For me, personally, it's the intent behind it.

My cousin dressed up as Ainsley Harriet for a fancy dress carnival party. Neither of us a racist, we both like Ainsley Harriet for his flamboyant and sexualised presenting style. My cousin went way over the top, to the point he cut a ping pong ball in half and made them Aisleys big eyes. Yes, he blacked up for it.

We all dress us up as popular characters from fact or fiction at these types of parties. So.. because I'm white, im not allowed to emulate my own personal heroes who happen to be black.

If I dressed as Ice Cube, Dre, Mohammed Ali, Ainsley Harriet or any other non-white celebrity without altering my skin tone artificially. Youd have no idea who I was attempting to impersonate.

So because I'm white, I can only impersonate white people? Isn't that a bit racist in itself? I dong do it, because it's clearly a sensitive issue and I don't wish to offend anyone. I don't have a racist bone in my body and am constantly challenging those I feel are.. always have done.. Always will.

It seems society, at this moment in time deems 'blacking up' as something quite offensive, so I'd not reccomend doing it. I would take zero offence at a black person 'Whiting up' Like has been done in many modern movies, provided the intent is harmless and the person altering their own tone, isn't racist in any other aspect of their lives.

I'd suggest anyone who has an issue with this watch Key and Peele comedy sketches. Two mixed race men who poke fun at both sides of the coin and the different stereotypes to challenge and mock, in a light hearted way.

If they can 'black/white up' On TV, I feel I can too. I just choose not to.

Do you think guys will be in trouble in the future for dressing in drag when they're not female or trans? I wouldn't be surprised.

I got real abuse from 2 or 3 females in the Forum when Cixi made her appearance. So.. I'd not be suprised.

I think that the amount of fake tan used these days means black face is alive and well..... or maybe orange face..

Some of the comments on this thread fucking amaze me.

Was I a 'snowflake' when two boys continued to refer me as 'n*****' for a month at school?

Trudeau didn't Black or brown up just once.

Has any of you actually googled the history behind either the Golliwog or Minstralty and why they came about?

Most black people don't spend time moaning on here or anywhere else, because they stopped being surprised or shocked a long time ago.
