He’s not a racist

reply

Except he actually is. Meanwhile he accuses others of this charge with regularity.

Grown adults do not wear blackface unless they are racists. He was 29 years old when he did that; he wasn't a kid in high school.

Hmm, are you Gerald Butts? You seem to be on autopilot just repeating talking points from the PMO over and over again.

reply

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

Why did you vote for him then

reply

[–] TreeShaman (806) 5 years ago

When did I say I voted for him? I didn't vote for him in either of the past two elections he was running in.

reply

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

Then who did you vote for ?

[–] not_a_virus.exe (1267) 5 years ago

Do you have anything else to add here? Or are you just going to repeat yourself like you're 5?

reply

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

Exactly, that’s what I’m saying!

What was the context? Was it Halloween party?

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17792) 5 years ago

He is.

reply

[–] Satan2016 (26149) 5 years ago

You're racist too!

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58491) 5 years ago

It was 20 years ago so maybe his mentality has changed and he is no longer racist.

reply

[–] kwestmo (4385) 5 years ago

I can live with that. Do you feel the same about politicians who don't like that made the same faux paus decades ago>

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58491) 5 years ago

I don't care about Trudeau so I wouldn't care about any other politician.

reply

[–] kwestmo (4385) 5 years ago

Yet you care enough about Trudeau to come to his defense. If you truly didn't care about him and felt that way in general, you would have said "Yes."

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58491) 5 years ago

It's not in defence of him. Doing something racist 20 years ago doesn't mean he feels his actions were appropriate now. Everyone changes. I would feel the same way if it was any other politician liberal or conservative.

reply

[–] kwestmo (4385) 5 years ago

Thanks for clarification

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17792) 5 years ago

Meanwhile, folks on the right have no ability for this and must be demonized forever!!!

No matter how many years have passed!

reply

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

Well then don’t vote for him

reply

[–] Zinger (2439) 5 years ago

Blackface once = a mistake.
Blackface twice = suspicious.
Blackface three times = racist.

reply

[–] TreeShaman (806) 5 years ago

Also:

Groping once = a mistake
Groping twice = suspicious
Groping three times = sexual predator

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17792) 5 years ago

Pretty sure all those accusers backed down and retracted their BS once faced with legal action.

reply

[–] TreeShaman (806) 5 years ago

I'm not talking about accusers. I'm talking about photographs where he inappropriately touches and kisses women who aren't his wife. I'm not aware of any accusers or allegations.

Edit: I only just remembered the incident at the concert back in the late 90's. The woman who was groped in that case didn't really withdraw an accusation, she just said she wouldn't be commenting on it again or pursuing any kind of legal action all these years later. So in other words, he did it, she's just not bothered by it enough to take any further action about it.

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17792) 5 years ago

Oh wait you're talking about Trudeau.

reply

[–] TreeShaman (806) 5 years ago

Yes, I was, but this seems to be so widespread among white liberal male politicians that I could have been talking about a lot of people.

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17792) 5 years ago

I'm pretty sure I've seen those pictures lol.

reply

[–] Burk48917 (11488) 5 years ago

Like Joe Biden?

reply

[–] TreeShaman (806) 5 years ago

I'm only vaguely aware of the Biden allegations. I am skeptical of any allegations against major political leaders. The difference with Trudeau is that there are numerous photographs of him getting a little too close for comfort with women, and this has been a pattern of behaviour over decades which continues into the present day even as a married man.

reply

[–] kwestmo (4385) 5 years ago

He's probably not a racist. He's not too smart and makes the same mistakes repeatedly.

Just a handsome, charming guy with rich, connected parents. He's probably good at reading speeches form a teleprompter

Racism and bigotry have no place in Canada, he says..."

yet he invites 100 of thousands of muslims to canada.... which hate jews and gays! and treat women and girls like crap.

good job justin !

reply

[–] Eric56 (4580) 5 years ago

I don't fcking care about that. It's a dumb thing he did years ago. It has no effect on the country. When I review politicians, I like to review their policies which affect us and not their personal life.

Trump is Racist Trudeau is a man of the people Like Obama

reply

[–] Burk48917 (11488) 5 years ago

Please give an example of something that Trump has done that you feel is racist that none of the previous administrations have done.

Fake News!

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

He was disguised as a character of "One Thousand and One Nights" for a party. Why is this racist? People are offended for NOTHING nowadays. If a man disguises as a woman, is he sexist? If I disguise myself as Batman, am I disrespecting bats? To "disguise as" is to honor !

Radical left are such pussies... way too sensitive. Cry on closest shoulder and move on!

reply

[–] Burk48917 (11488) 5 years ago

Obviously any black kid who dresses up as Thor for Halloween is a racist. If you are Asian and wear a jersey that is a Hispanic baseball players jersey, you are a racist. If a minority wants to play a movie role that is a previously white character, the new character is racist. If you are a liberal, you must see it this way, or they'd be a hypocrite.

I'm a Canadian from Québec, so I know Justin a great deal even though I dislike him. In all honesty, he may be a lot of things but racist he is not! I agree with you. Believe it or not, I considered myself to be a leftist until a couple of years back. But I can't stand the whining (about EVERYTHING) anymore. If you listen to everything they say and do everything they want... be prepared to kiss your freedom of speech goodbye. They want to impose their great virtues to everyone. It's dictatorship disguised as virtue. They will never admit it.

reply

[–] Burk48917 (11488) 5 years ago

Thankfully, it's so blatant and obvious, a lot of people are starting to see it. I was a hardcore lefty until Obama's second term.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Yes. There's already more people calling them on their bullshit. It's a good thing !

reply

[–] TreeShaman (806) 5 years ago

Which party does a non-leftist vote for (federally) in Quebec now? The CPC is almost non-existent there. Or are you as rare as a unicorn?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Bloc Québecois

[–] TreeShaman (806) 5 years ago

You really want to go through a referendum again?

reply

[–] TreeShaman (806) 5 years ago

The point is that, as someone who was worn blackface (a well-established racist act), he doesn't have any right to call other people racist as he regularly does (and most recently did just yesterday) for even lesser incidents which are not racist at all but rather "dog whistle statements" which supposedly have some hidden meaning.

The Arabian Nights thing was just one incident. He's done it a minimum of three times that are documented in pictures and film, and he even wore an afro and stuffed a banana or some large phallic object into his jeans to make it look like he had a massive black penis. It's a sustained pattern of behavior over many years that persisted into adulthood.
