wearing blackface 10-20 years ago 'might' have been considered racist then as well or at the very least so spectacularly naive and ill-considered it reflects poorly regardless i think justin likes to dress up in general, but there's no excuse for being so ridiculously out of touch especially when you're going to try to actually represent people

On a serious note, I don't really think that there was any racist intent behind this. It doesn't seem like he was doing this to poo poo on black/brown people. I get why this is such a big deal today but 20 years ago it wasn't a big political statement to show up to an arabian nights party dressed as Aladdin. The way he went about it is about as tasteful as blackface gets. At least he didn't do the red lips. Not a great look for him though

White people have always known that the treatment of black people has been horrible. One of the first opinion pieces written on the United States when it formed, was about how hypocritical it was that slavery was going to be a thing, and that the U.S. would have a hard time sticking together if it didn't get rid of it sooner or later.

i don't think he's racist in the sense that he hates people for the color of their skin i think he's foolish and naive, which for a white person in power can have the effect of continuing entrenched racist polices

White politicians will never break rank and have empathy for people of color. It doesn't matter if this was 20 years ago, he has the same hatred for black people then as he does now.

here's the worst thing about social media: it's made reality, real human interactions, get reduced to the level of a Youtube comments section. wasn't too long ago that two idiots screaming at each other in a comments section on YouTube was just an easily dismissed distraction: a sideshow event where nobody needed to even look at the absurdity of it. now that Facebook and Twitter have come along, and through some horrendous error of judgement, have been turned into something that mainstream media should repeat, we're now looking at every news article repeating what TARDFUCKER666 said about the latest developments in Palestine or some poo poo. gently caress all that. internet trolls are internet trolls, and one of the worst mistakes made in the last decade is the decision to take internet trolls seriously. who the loving gently caress cares what some fuckwit says on twitter. who cares what justin loving trudeau wore to a party loving EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO. the planet is loving dying due to our loving emissions and we can't have infinite growth on a finite planet. we're going to go exctinct in about ten years so get some loving perspective. gently caress ALL THIS poo poo.

On a side note, how many American newsites are absolutely in love with Trudeau? I've seen so many of them trying to white wash (heh) this story; calling it brownface, face-darkening, fake tanning, one of them even used a picture of him from that India trip instead of the actual pictures of him wearing the make up. Meanwhile in Canada most of them are calling it straight up blackface.

Depending on where you go in Canada, you will find people that hate him about as much as a good chunk of America hates Trump. As someone that voted for the guy I'm not exactly happy with him either if I'm being honest, but that said he's still a faaaaaaaaaaaaar loving cry from Trump lol

I agree that he had to be well aware of how blackface was perceived. This was 20 years ago in canada though. It's possible that it was a bit more acceptable considering that canada's history with black people isn't the same as the states. Culturally canada might have been a bit different before the internet really came about and blurred the lines between canadian/us culture with respect to racial politics. Nobody can really defend the decision to do blackface though congrats on the cup btw

bewbies posted:serious question: does blackface have the same sort of weight/connotation in Canada that it does in the US? not really, it's mostly been learned to be a negative thing from recent american pop culture. other than the longstanding english/french divide, racism is canada has historically been localized against whatever ethnic minority is prevalent in a given area, and until the 70's canada barely had any black people so a specifically anti-black culture of racism didn't really develop apart from the few areas where former slaves settled in large numbers. not to say white people didn't look down on black people when they encountered them, it was more an out of sight out of mind thing. the internet has homogenized racism now though, people who live nowhere near an indian reserve will have strong very opinions about natives protesting, and rural folk are afraid of muslims.
